Book mail today! Love Kelly Link‘s work
“Claire‘s eyes are grey, like a cat‘s fur, he says, but Samantha‘s are gray, like the ocean when it has been raining.”
The Specialist‘s Hat is one of my favorite #shortstories not just because it is gorgeously creepy and weird, but also because it acknowledges the obvious (to me) truth that grey and gray are not just variant spellings of the same word, but two entirely different colors. #riotgrams
Christmas book haul!!! 🎄
@mrozzz tagged me to do this a week ago, but time is a flat circle or something. Better late than never, right? 😉
At first I was paralyzed by the possibilities, but then I just thought about the books I've recommended lately, and here ya go!

Feel free to make your own list if you haven't!
This chicken stew c/o Giada was waiting for us when I got home from work 😊 meanwhile, Stranger Things Happen is as dark and lively as the 19 Crimes Banished in my glass. Good meal and good book for today's preview of autumn.
Recipe: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/chicken-stew-recipe-19147... (modifications: added 15oz can of peas, garlic, pepper flakes, and 1/4c wine, cooked 8h on low in crock pot.)

Should be reading women's history but it's too late to go to my car.

I read Links Get in Trouble and was moved by it on so many levels ... then I forgot about her for awhile. Stranger Things Happen turned up and I'm excited to read it. Will be intrigued to note difference in writing, if any, as this collection is from 15 years ago.
Meowser fell asleep while we were reading. She was up late chasing a mouse that got into our apartment. Eek.

Continuing to read Children of the New World & now I've moved on to Chipotle & starting Stranger Things. I'm hooked & only on episode 2. I know I'm going to have major withdrawal when it's over. 😭😭😭
Does anyone have any book recommendations to read that will scratch this itch?! It reminds me of what happens if the X-Files, Twin Peaks, ET, and Carrie had a creepy 80s baby. 😱😬
Kelly Link is my favorite modern short story writer. She's carrying the torch previously held by Ray Bradbury for wonderful, strange tales.

Jenna: "I like reading about alternate realities and the extreme absurdities of life. The world is changing. As a journalist and writer I get to examine how it's changing every day which makes it less scary to think about. It's also extraordinary to be looking at the world as your job."
