More book clearing

Finding another stash of books that can mostly be donated to Oxfam's. Including several Egaeus Press weird short story collections, gorgeous hardback books, but I no longer need, and am happy passing on. As well as a Little Endless "Delirium's Party" hardback. Keeping some of the other books though.

Time and distance is making it easier to pass on some of these books. And we still have way too many books in house, especially a huge number I can no longer read with my progressive neurological illness. It's very freeing passing them on. Even if book lover me naturally rails against the concept!

P.S. I reread the Little Endless book quickly tonight before passing it on. Quite charming, and written and drawn by someone other than Neil Gaiman. Gorgeous mini Endless comic book art too.

P.P.S. Martin is now going to have an incredible number of books to take to Oxfam later this week!

Oxonmoot 2025 upcoming

Belatedly browsing the schedule for Oxonmoot 2025 in Sched, and wondering how anyone with colour blindness can cope with the colour scheme Sched uses to differentiate between in person, hybrid and online events. Luckily not a problem for me, but seems like a core thing Sched should be doing better.

Meanwhile after wondering that, I am now speeding through the Oxonmoot programme, seeing which events I hope to watch. Probably watched after the Oxford event, using the wonderful catch up streaming the con organisers have honed over the years. I am very likely to sleep through the whole live event.

... quite a bit later ...

And that's seemingly 31 events in the Oxonmoot 2025 programme I'm especially interested in and hope to watch, probably after the event. Marvelling as always at the range of talks and events. Phenomenally grateful to the Tolkien Society and Oxonmoot organisers for making this event accessible online.
