taking myself on reading dates is one of my favorite things

this #jewish #historicalfantasy is flirting with me. Glossary, cast of characters, map, and a motif on some of the pages

hopefully this novella is better than “nothing but blackened teeth”. #horror

edit: finished the novella in about a hour. 2/5. Interesting plot, but good god someone needs to rip away their thesaurus. “unhandsomeness” instead of ugly, “phalanges” instead of fingers, and so on. there is a bonus short story (like 4 pages) at the end that I liked more than the novella #mermaids #bodyhorror

reading outside is my favorite place to read #nature #arctic #shipwreck

#thai food is one of my favorites

#supernatural

Sundays are for #TBR reading #vikings

I have a masters in biology and my research was focused on #bees. I love insects #nonfiction #science

I finished “A Wizard‘s Guide to Defensive Baking“” last and I am starting Nettle & Bone.

“A Wizard‘s Guide to Defensive Baking“ has malicious gingerbread! #fallreads #baking

#gothic fiction is soooo good. I read “The Hollow Places” by T. Kingfisher last year and these two novellas and they are AMAZING. Perfect #fall reads.

Finished “What Feasts at Night” last night and immediately put three of her books on hold.

#everydayishalloween

never to early to start #halloween reading #spooky

A retelling of #edgarallanpoes “thefall of the house of usher”. a solid 4/5. I love the use of fungi in gothic fiction.

reading a #horror novel
it‘s very suitable for #autumn

I‘m a sucker for medical non fiction #healthcare #gonnagethorrified

#manga is a terrific way to get reading in when a #toddler is present.

a #manga series i have been enjoying. a big focus is #economics, something I don‘t know a lot about.

need a mental break from R.F Kuang‘s books..

Stephanie Thornton is one of my favorite authors. I‘m curious on why she started including her middle name. #historicalfiction

took me over a decade but I finally have all of the #royaldiary books

reading the #library while my son plays #china #war #gruesome

4/5 stars.. my initial reaction to the ending was
“well.” #horror #mom #mother
