Today's project is mini mimic chests for trinket trading. I still need to make their tongues but I got 50 done so far. (Ratio is 1in length)

A dark and beautiful fable, this graphic novel follows the orphaned daughter of witches whose debt to a magical well requires she fulfill three of the wishes cast into its depths. Recommended for fans of K O‘Neill!

I was excited for this, but it turned out to be a weirdly laborious read. Not enough happens, the characters are too static/develop in ways that aren‘t dramatic enough, and I just felt like Wiswell doesn‘t quite make the claims about monstrosity that he seems to think he does.

4.2⭐️ it‘s listed as horror, but it doesn‘t feel like horror. Let me rephrase that, it feels more like lovecraftian horror. I also feel like the plot needs to be tightened up a little bit on this one, but I really enjoy the writing style in general, despite it being occasionally jumbled. Based on the characters in this book, the jumbled writing actually connected well though. I liked it a lot… Enough to immediately go buy a book 2.

This was body horror, magic realism, and a love story all mixed in to create a quirky read! Taking place in a little Scottish town, Muriel (an 84 yo, widowed woman) and the few other elderly folk left in her community are fighting the destruction of their homes by a greedy American company. When all of their efforts have failed and all hope seems lost, Muriel finds a creature laid out on a rocky beach, and things start to get interesting!

I enjoyed “Starter Villain” a whole bunch, so my expectations were very high…they sadly went mostly unmet, though. The KPS is a neat idea, and all of the Sci-Fi references peppered throughout were fun, but it weirdly felt like this wanted very badly to be a short story rather than a little novel.

Second book in the series

Dr Greta Helsing is in Paris for a medical conference and gets to see far more of Paris' underground world than she intended to.
Includes cute monsters.

4.2⭐️ I love the story. It was a beautiful story of redemption and forgiveness incorporating Polish folklore. I am new to most of these legends, but I have heard of Baba Yaga, who was a prominent part of the story. This was the May Fable fantasy read, and I do plan to read book 2.
