On Episode 108 of my podcast, author Jen Doll joins me for a chat about Zilpha Keatley Snyder‘s The Headless Cupid. This Newbery Honor winner tells the story of a recently blended family and their possibly haunted new (old) home. There‘s witchcraft (kinda), sibling rivalry, sibling love, a VERY problematic scene, and more — and we discuss it all! 🎧 Link to listen in bio.

pick#WitchyReads Day 7: Over and above the mystery surrounding the haunted house, the legend about the headless cupid in the banister, the incantations that the occult-loving Amanda (who no doubt will like to own a #Pentagram is trying to learn) – is a story about a sad, confused, displaced 12yo who has to deal with four new step-siblings, an absent father, an artist-mother, and a stranger for a stepdad.

This was waiting on my doorstep when I arrived home today, thank you so much @jlondon1963 !! I can‘t wait to open it and see what‘s inside. I might have to get my husband to hide it from me 🤓. #cupidgoespostal @Avanders @MrBook @BookBabe #valentinebookexchange
Just 1 more day - or, given it's 9 a.m. CET, only 15 hours - left till I can open my #cupidgoespostal letter.
@BookishMarginalia
#cupidgoespostal books ready to be packed! They're wrapped in handmade Valentines tea towels instead of tissue or wrapping paper 😃
An overdue photo of my #cupidgoespostal package! Such cute stickers. I'm looking forward to opening it soon 😃🎉🎁
PS - The Headless Cupid was one of my favorite books as a kid. Highly recommended!
My #CupidGoesPostal package made it today!! Now the real waiting begins!
#CupidGoesPostal package ready to travel north! Really that's not a hint because almost everyone is north of me. This was so much fun! Thank you again @BookishMarginalia for organizing! I hope my ribbons make it!
My #cupidgoespostal arrived! Not sure exactly when I haven't checked my mail in the last couple days. It's going to be hard waiting a month until I can open it!
I'm having so much fun planning, wrapping, and mailing some bookish love!

@BookishMarginalia
Everything is finally ready for my #CupidGoesPostal #ValentinesBookExchange
This is the first time i will mail something 😕 got any tips?
Also is the post office open on Saturday?
@BookishMarginalia
Cupid just went postal.
No, don't worry, it's not all for the #cupidgoespostal. Well, it kind of is. The idea of a secret cupid inspired me and I decided to surprise some of my friends with handmade goodies. So I just brought a large bag with envelopes full of love to the post office.
@BookishMarginalia
Love is in the air. My #cupidgoespostal gifts are ready to head to the post office!
@BookishMarginalia
Errands took a while as I'm still a bit hindered by breathing issues+a quite unstalkable #cupidgoespostal match but I think I'm done after Thursday's Barnes & Noble asthma meltdown & today's trip to get swag to go w/books, wrap, & post office mailing supply options. Had to do some serious guessing (does my match like coffee? tea? Do they eat/hate chocolate? Who knows?! Very few posts so hoping to have grabbed books they haven't read + some aloha🌺
