New reads. Paper Girls 5 and Ginger Bread by Helen Oyeyem Ron Charles of the Washington Post says of Oyeyemi: Someone must have given Helen Oyeyemi a handful of magic beans when she was born in Nigeria because she’s been planting them ever since. This fantastical writer, who completed her first, acclaimed novel at the age of 18, sows her modern-day stories in the fertile ground of ancient myths and fables. But Oyeyemi, now 34, isn’t just goosing old fairy tales with contemporary melodies. She’s drawn to what’s most unsettling about these fables: their disorienting logic, their blithe cruelty, their subtle encoding of race and gender. Nor is she in any way beholden to the source material she collects in the dark forest. No matter what characters she’s dealing with, she’s willing to cut off their tales with a carving knife. Her new novel, “Gingerbread,” is a challenging, mind-bending exploration of class and female power heavily spiced with nutmeg and sweetened with molasses. If you think you know where you’re going in this forest, you’ll soon be lost. Oyeyemi has built her house out of something far more complex than candy. The novel opens in contemporary London, where Harriet Lee, an immigrant, lives with her teenage daughter, Perdita. They own a large apartment so high that “climbing the staircases takes more than just walking up; it’s also necessary to spring, scramble and wriggle.” It’s such a challenge to reach them, in fact, that “princess in a tower syndrome sets in” — one of many fairy-tale allusions that should set off your inner Brothers Grimm. - My kinda read. #readersofinstagram #reading #booksaremybag #sewing #sewcialists #gingerbread #papergirls #newreads readingnow #ilovereading #readinglove #denverreads

What’s wrong here?! Bias binding the front is perfect but the back juts out like crazy. Any suggestions? The top is cut on the bias. . . . #sewingproject #sewsewsew #sewcialist #instasew #instasewing #sewingfun #lovesewing #lovetosew #vintagesew #vintagefashion #fabric #memadeeveryday #makersgonnashare #denversews #sewingproblems #sewinghelp #sewinghelpneeded
