Pictured is my fave U. K. Le Guin at the moment. What is yours?

They knew each other briefly in the late 90s

I keep coming back to this quote these days. I love how her art has so much to say.

Sharing more of my UKLG books. People in my insta do not appreciate UKLG as much as you do here 🫶🏼

Just wanted to share. Looks like its had some love over the last 50 years.

(It’s my birthday too 🤓)

Every year I’m happy to share this day with this magnificent woman!

A little nervous to share this but my Earthsea inspired tattoo - curious if anyone can guess the passage!

I miss covers like these so much. I got them from a private collector. My favourite is the 1975 edition of the Dispossessed.

My slowly growing vintage Le Guin cover collection. All found cheaply in the wild, other than the Dispossessed found cheaply on eBay.

Found this in a used bookstore years ago and after picking up most of EarthSea in a used book store today, I remembered about this.

Anyone know if this is legit?

The trail that Estraven and Ai are walking wraps all the way around my calf. Sometimes people ask me if it’s a tattoo of birds on a telephone line. One of my favorite pieces :’)

Not my design, but I'm definitely coveting it and thought y'all might, too.

This edition is published by the UK based Gollancz Emporium and arrived today in my mailbox. Very happy with the quality and sturdiness of the book. Already started reading it.

All of them in great condition, only $6 total.

Apologies to the Sacramento Public Library.

Found this copy at a thrift shop. Hopefully someone enjoys it!

So excited to have so much Le Guin to read! Which one would y’all start with?
