Welcome to the Warden and the Wolf King

Good Monday, dear readers! This year in the Ban Rona Book Club we’ve been reading and posting through the whole Wingfeather Saga, starting from a little homey cottage in Glipwood and following the Igibys on their journeys from wonder to danger, from safety to exile, from their little township to the Ice Prairies to the […]

BRBC week 30: The strand of song

Miss Linda and Miss Mary are visiting this week. We are dividing our time equally between beanbrew, art projects, and naps.

Art from Jay Myers

Who wants a wee bit of Florid Sword/Shadowblade art? Yeah, I thought you might.

BRBC week 29: Goodness in the dark

This week we read chapters 47-53 of The Monster in the Hollows, and so many good things happened—and other things that weren’t quite good, but good to read. There are some passages that make me cry every time. Here is one of them, from the last time we convened the BRBC. Here is another one. (And […]

The Wolf King and the Cloven

Look how beautiful this is. In our book club last week we read what Janner found in the cave. But this is what Kalmar found in that same cave. One little snout. One big snout. Connection. Thank you, Noah, for sharing your heart and eyes and Conté work with us. This week, Madame Sidler will […]

BRBC week 28: Kingly grace

This week instead of reading the chapters myself, I let Andrew read to me. Have you listened to the audiobooks? He does the best accents. This particular passage pulled me in as he read it. It’s beautiful and sad. There was nothing to do but carry his grieving heart through the snow to whatever Kalmar […]

Nicholas Kole interview, part 5

BRBC week 27: Awake-ness

Do your books ever talk to each other? Mine have been a lot lately. Right now I’m reading The Monster in the Hollows (obviously) and A Wrinkle in Time. (Have you read it?) In both books this week there were characters who had been, in different ways, made blank, unable to think or imagine outside the […]

A certain blue-eyed Fang

Several years ago Pastor Rob was reading The Monster in the Hollows to his seven-year-old daughter, who brought him this drawing. I don’t know her name—and she’d be older than Janner now (sorry for the delay!)—but we do appreciate this drawing. What a contrast there is between the long, sharp claws and the sad blue eyes. […]

BRBC week 26: The Throne Warden and the Bully

What did you love best in this week’s reading? The caving? The snickbuzzard (woe!)? The new puppy? I loved all of those things. And I also loved seeing Janner struggle with, and abandon, his own desires in order to serve his brother. Is this what you would’ve done? I don’t know that I would. Was […]
