Volkskunst ist im ständigen Wandel. Traditionelles Kunsthandwerk wie handgemachte Textilien oder Keramiken repräsentiert überliefertes Brauchtum, dabei passt es sich immer wieder neuen Bedingungen an, sei es politische Umbrüche und Globalisierung, technische Errungenschaften, neue Moden oder Vorlieben. Dadurch ist Handwerk echt und wahrhaftig, und weckt in unserer hochdigitalisierten Welt mehr Begehrlichkeiten denn je. Als Kunsthistorikerin, Stylistin und Händlerin für Textilien, Trachten und Keramiken aus aller Welt beschäftigt sich Katharina Koppenwallner seit vielen Jahren mit dieser sich rapide verändernden, materiellen Kultur. Das Buch spürt ihren vielen Reiserouten nach und folgt dabei grob der Seidenstraße und den alten Hippie-Trails, von Europa Richtung Osten bis nach Südostasien und weiter nach Lateinamerika. Dabei stellt sie die von ihr bereisten Gegenden und ihre historischen Zusammenhänge vor, beschreibt fachkundig aussterbende Handwerkstechniken genauso wie „Fakelore“-Trends, und erzählt bezaubernde Geschichten über entlegendste Regionen und ihre Menschen. Reich bebildert und versehen mit einem Index und hilfreichen Tipps über die besten lokalen Märkte ist The Artisan`s Guide of Crafts and Places das ultimative Reisebuch für jeden, der sich begeistert für die Ästhetik und Qualität von traditionellem Handwerk und für die Orte, an denen es lebendig gehalten wird. Katharina Koppenwallner (*1966), Studium der Kunstgeschichte, Publizistik und Volkskunde, lebt und arbeitet als freie Redakteurin in Berlin. Seit 2011 besteht ihr Geschäft „International Wardrobe“, in dem ethnische Textilien, Trachten und Keramiken aus aller Welt verkauft werden. Freie Texte u.a. für das Literaturmagazin „Der Freund“, die Modedepesche, Süddeutsche Zeitung, FAZ Sonntag, der Freitag. Seit 2017 schreibt sie die wöchentliche Kolumne „Souvenirs“ im Reiseteil der Welt am Sonntag.

I’m a little disappointed.
Format: Kindle
I usually like Jillian West’s books but this one was missing a lot for me. The pregnancy didn’t come across as real. She’s on her feet for 12 hour days but is perfectly healthy at 8 months pregnant? Yet the week she moves in all of a sudden she’s not? She is planning on actually running during one of the plot buildups. But at 8 months pregnant that’s incredibly hard to do. The lack of breathing ability and lung space, the change in body center, mass, and gravity. All of it prohibits running, unless you’re an athlete this didn’t come off as at all realistic. I didn’t feel any connection with the alphas. There wasn’t any emotional connection. It could be because of the tense it was written in. But I didn’t get any deep feelings out of this. It came across as checking off boxes. Even the spicy scenes weren’t really believable for me. I wanted to see them fall for her, and it just kind of all fizzled. Even Bishop. One thing I did really like was the ending. I did not see it coming and I’m interested in reading book two because of it. But on the whole this book was mostly disappointing for me.

Vale is an 8 month pregnant omega working as a waitress at a strip club and a cam girl. She starts to get very creepy vibes from a regular at the club, and her baby daddy ghosted her. She has had an online relationship with a man named Bishop through her cam girl status. One night, bishop was paying to watch her sleep and ansthe creepy regular Andrew break in and watch her sleep he tells vale to come to him at his business now. She flees and finds herself at a large security company with some.hot of alphas who are there to help her. This imegaverse is a little different than I have read, but I am thoroughly enjoying it. Vale is not a traditional omega she was raised by a single beta mom, and the alphas are not normal alphas they have never really loved pack life. But they are ruthless mercenaries. They need her, and she needs them. I love the aspect of the stalker and now the plot twists at the end, so so good. Sometimes, it seemed a little slow and stale mated, but since this a duet, I think It was just her starting to have Vale get to know her alpha suitors. Cliffhanger for sure with this one.

That ending 😫
Format: Kindle
I fell into a false sense of security and really thought this was gearing towards a happy ending. Then I realized there’s no work they don’t punish Andrew. I really liked Vale’s character. I don’t normally read books with pregnancy but going into this knowing she was pregnant made it more enjoyable for me. I loved Bishops devotion to her and her happiness. I also loved that Holt and Mercy couldn’t fight their attraction to her. I love scent matches so very much. I’m so curious to see how this duet will end up. And I need to pay more attention and notice that a book I’m starting is a duet to begin with lol

oh wow
Format: Kindle
I just knew there was something about Cooper! I’m wondering if he’s about to be included but damn I’m glad he’s at least not a rapist and creepy guy, he just got called on assignment and had to go! This should be interesting! She’s gonna run and then what’s his face is gonna grab her. I’m worried! Wow that was a great book and cliffhanger! Loving this!

ABSOLUTELY A MUST for Omegaverse Girls!!!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Jillian West and her books!!! I’m so happy I already bought book two and now I have to buy the others for the Assurance Security series!! Not gonna lie Val kind of annoyed me at the beginning but she grew on me!! Her men are chef’s kisses!!! Holt annoys me some but I can let it slide. I already bought part two so I’m going to be reading that in between work phone calls!!!! DON’T TELL MY BOSS 😂😂😂😂
