Thinking Pastorally review

Andrew Roycroft at Thinking Pastorally wrote a glowing review of the Wingfeather Saga. Here’s an excerpt: Thematically, the novels manage to carry a strong and insistent message of hope in hopeless times, of the value of selfless sacrifice, of the need for atonement, and of the worth of healthy family relations, without ever feeling laboured or […]

BRBC week 35: The rooftops of Dugtown

This passage woke up my yearning to see Dugtown from above. I’ve never seen it from below, either—I think I might like that less, in fact—but the idea of the city spread out below me, sunset glinting off the river, spires and roofs radiating outward from the crossway below my feet—well. I need a cape. […]

BRBC week 34: Pity

Leeli’s sweet, fierce heart is remarkable. I want to see the world the way she does. Leeli turned her thoughts to the heavens, and took up her pleading where Nia’s left off, praying a blessing of safety on her brothers, who even now walked deeper into darkness with each step. Strangely, she felt no anger […]

BRBC week 33: Points of Light

Bravery, heroism, loss, sorrow—light. Leeli made her way through the dogs, touching their heads as she passed and thinking of Nugget. Brave Nugget who had leapt into a company of Fangs to protect her. When she reached Biggin, she sat on the floor beside her Guildmaster. A resurgence of the day’s horror washed over her […]

The Local Show returns

If you live close enough to Nashville to take in a concert now and then, you’ll want to know about The Local Show—a live songwriter-in-the-round event that happens every other Tuesday each fall and spring. The season is starting up again tomorrow (September 4), and Andrew is hosting an incredible lineup that includes such legends […]

BRBC week 32: Blindploppings for everyone!

Sometimes when everything is terrible, a little humor goes a long way in helping us get through.

Blindplopping adventure!

Last week a Durgan from the Rabbit Room happened upon an online exploration game where you’re set down in a random place and have to find out where you are. Blindplopping, I thought immediately! So, since Janner was blindplopped in last week’s reading and he’s still working on getting himself back to where he needs to […]

BRBC week 31: Carnack and the Jewels

Happy Friday, Featherheads! Here is our first excerpt from The Warden and the Wolf King. What would you do if you were in this situation? “Come, Carnack.” Rudric held out a hand. “For the sake of our strength.” “No.” Carnack folded his arms and looked away. “I pledge nothing to no Fang.” Leeli put her whistleharp […]
