Went to the Coney Island Mermaid Parade yesterday!! Here‘s me doing a hobby of mine - dressing and swimming as a mermaid!

We couldn‘t go in the water because of the lightning (see top left) but we got to get photos on the beach!

@CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian 🧜‍♀️ photo for you!!

Liz_M I saw a bunch of people covered in sequins and very sexily dressed in the subway and was saddened that I hadn't even realized it was the Mermaid parade.

That is a stunning outfit you have and a great photo!

The second InCryptid book was just as fun as the first. McGuire populates her urban fantasy with memorable, entertaining characters—take Istas who walks around asking “if there will be carnage,” for example—and sets them in a world where dragons, talking mice (who happen to really like cake), & other such creatures hide & thrive amongst humans…until the Covenant of St. George shows up to purge them. Humorous with a good dash of danger & mayhem.

This is quite an interesting book. It‘s non-fiction and was written by a man who traveled to the area in British Columbia known as the Great Bear Rainforest. He went there to talk to people who have seen Sasquatch, hoping, of course, to see one himself. But the book is about more than that, it‘s also a glimpse into the lives of the First Nation tribes who live there. Wonderful writing.

The Coming of the Fairies | Arthur Conan Doyle

As a #sherlocked fanatic, I revere the original canon by C-Doyle. His belief and essay on fairies? #notsomuch #alittlecraycray

Bookwomble Doyle was sensible in not grafting his spiritualist beliefs onto the logical and materialist Holmes ("No ghosts need apply."), but his Professor Challenger stories did become a platform for them. The tagged biography is an interesting one in explaining how Doyle, the medical man of science, became an uncritical believer in the spirit world. 12mo
