Cloak And Dagger: Child Of Darkness, Child Of Light | Bill Mantlo

The #cloakanddaggerchristmas2022 was shared on IG today, for anyone who is interested. I did it last year and had fun. The prompts this year are pretty loose, and many do not require reading at all. More info at link below.

quietjenn I'm for sure in again. I really enjoyed it last year. 1y

batsy I'd love to do it again, too! @quietjenn @merelybookish do tag me if there's anything you'd like to read for the buddy read prompt 🙂 1y

merelybookish @quietjennn @batsy Oh yes, I'd be into a buddy read! And I'm very open, especially to classic age stuff. Also, any ideas on foil cover are welcome. 😄 1y

quietjenn @merelybookish @batsy would love to jump in on a buddy read! And I think that foil prompt will be the trickiest. Looking forward to their recs, but may just have to go browse the mystery section at the library. 1y

batsy @quietjenn @merelybookish I'm stumped re: foil covers, too. I'm guessing some of those pretty Agatha Christie hardbacks have foil lettering 🤔 Just an idea for a buddy read, only because I've seen people talking about it recently :)

Murder After Christmas

merelybookish @batsy @quietjenn That looks fun. And festive. 🎄 1y

quietjenn @merelybookish @batsy I am game for that one, I've enjoyed most of the British Crime Classics books that I've read and it's nice that it's seasonal. 1y

quietjenn @batsy @merelybookish good call on the Christies! I think even some of the less-pretty ones sometimes use foil for her name. I associate foil covers with either big budget books ore paperbacks from the 80s and realized that many of the books by one of my favorite authors from then - Elizabeth Peters/Barbara Michaels would qualify, so I think I may use one of the Amelia Peabody books that I haven't read for this prompt. 1y
