Her writing style is so clear and free of obstacles that following her advice is natural and easy. Rita has continued to write garden books, including an indispensable guide to dye plants and several Taylor guides, including their landscape book. We saw yellow indigo-dyed wool turn bright and gorgeous blue in the air. She was friendly and patient, but mostly excited about what she was showing us. Later, I attended a two-day dye workshop that Rita taught at a sheep farm in Bunker Hill, W.Va. How to grow them and use them successfully is all there. The same for the world of dye plants and soap plants. Rita Buchanan first showed up on my radar screen with the detailed and accessible book, " A Weaver’s Garden." It discusses fiber plants – such as cotton, flax, and ramie – so the reader can grow, harvest, and turn them into usable fiber for spinning or weaving fabric. In this case, she's accomplished in so many areas, and so generous with her time, that I feel quite lazy by comparison. Getting to know a powerhouse is daunting.

It’s definitely a second chance romance, and despite what happened to cause the two of them to have a falling out prior to both the start of this book and the series, I found myself rooting for Gavin to get back into Violet’s good graces. This is sort of an enemies-to-lovers book, although the two of them come to a truce relatively quickly. Rating: 4.5/5 Stars Review:Įver since I first discovered Rebecca’s books, I’ve been hooked!

It should be the happiest time of her life, but Danny’s first weeks finally living in a body that fits her are more difficult and complicated than she could have imagined.

Until Dreadnought fell out of the sky and died right in front of her, Danny was trying to keep people from finding out she’s transgender. Danny Tozer has a problem: she just inherited the powers of Dreadnought, the world’s greatest superhero. |
