These are three of my favourite Le Guin books, yet not as well known as some of her others. I'm glad to see them spotlighted today by the good folks at #gifcon2025.

This week's TBR List Pick: Ursula K. Le Guin's Nebula Award-winning young adult fantasy series- Annals of the Western Shore!

Have you read this trilogy? Let us know in the comments!
