Such an energetic & informative dive into the history of witches & witchcraft from Hendrix. Plus he complimented my Fright Night long sleeve. I‘ll take that!

Just back from a preview screening of this! So good. Very much not the film you expect it to be.
I‘m pretty sure I read the book in my pre-teens. My parents would let me watch and read anything I wanted. Guess that‘s why I turned out to be heathen vegan pinko

LoverOfLearning A heathen vegan pinko! Ha I lol'd at that! Good for you. I've not read the book. Maybe one day! 3mo
Luke-XVX @LoverOfLearning I‘d like to reread it, I‘m sure to pick up on things I missed as a kiddo 3mo

Anyone else on Fable? I probably don‘t need another app like this but here we are.

Suet624 There are so many apps now. 🥴😊 I was using a few others for a while but cut it back to just this one. 4mo
Chelsea.Poole Followed! 4mo
Luke-XVX I‘m genuinely interested in lists. Movies, books, records etc so I‘m more inclined to have something around that. Things like Facebook though….no that‘s far too depressing. All that prejudice and misinformation-hard pass @Suet624 4mo

My local indie bookshop with the first of (hopefully many) genre events! Just got my ticket! In the past I‘ve only been to comic artist/writers events so this will be a 2025 first for me!

Reggie I saw him at Stokercon and he was so funny and very smart. You‘re in for a good time! 4mo
Luke-XVX @Reggie Nice! Are you going this year? 4mo
Reggie No because it‘s on the opposite side of the country from me. If it comes closer maybe then. 4mo

My preorder came in! Now to stick to a no new book buy for 2025. The money I regularly spend on books will hopefully go a long way towards paying for planned trips to Japan later this year and hopefully a sleeper train trip to Edinburgh. I have no shortage of reading materials. My tbr is overflowing with books/comics/zines &,rulebooks.

Suet624 Yes, but … those shiny covers and beautiful words! Good luck with your endeavor. 💕 4mo
Luke-XVX @Suet624 I know! I‘ve been in three bookshops today and it was extremely difficult! There‘s always the library to fall back on or my birthday I guess haha 4mo
Centique Im trying to read at least 24 books i already own this year - my shelves are groaning! Im a library addict though - theyre the best 🙌 4mo
Luke-XVX @Centique good luck! It‘s so easy to want the new shiny product, I forget what I own at times! I try to visit my library at least a couple times a month-it‘s getting better 4mo

Suet624 @DimeryRene Nope. Read that a few years ago. I‘m reading another one that‘s fascinating about Irish informers for the British hidden within the IRA. (edited) 4mo

Good ol‘ Mum coming through with the literal fire. Even though I prefer physical books, I can‘t wait to get some Richard Chizmar, Joe R Lansdale & Tony Hillerman on it because it‘s a real struggle getting a lot of their releases here in the UK.

Saturday purchases. I‘m in the tiniest of minorities with not liking Piransei at all, so let‘s see if I enjoy this. I believe I‘m two books behind with ROL so I have more catching up to do.

Another new pickup!

Bookwomble 😍 One of my favourite books - I have it in three editions already, so I've already told myself I don't need a fourth! Gotta stay strong 💪😒📖 7mo
Luke-XVX @Bookwomble ashamed to say I‘ve never read it! I believe it‘s part of Appendix N so I figured with this new edition I should rectify that! I picked up The King In Yellow in this new series edition yesterday too 7mo
Bookwomble @Luke-XVX The King in Yellow is also marvellous: a different feel to Hodgson, and probably a bit more literary, but I love them both. The 5 books in the Penguin Weird Fiction series have great covers, but Claimed! by Bennett is the only one I'd need for my library, and I'll add it at some point. The anthology edition, Weird Fiction, weirdly has few stories in it I'd class as belonging to the Weird genre, though they're good horror/ghost stories. 7mo

Luke-XVX I already have a HC of Algernon Blackwood stories I picked up last year so I‘ll get into that before I commit to the whole set. Those covers though…! 7mo
Luke-XVX I‘d be interested in doing a deep delve into these titles- I can imagine there‘s some great pulpy covers @Bookwomble 7mo
Bookwomble I realised I was writing you an essay! Suffice to say, there are some fantastic examples of artwork on past editions of these books 😊 7mo
Bookwomble PS. In case you're not familiar with it, the Internet Speculative Fiction Database (ISFDB) is a great resource which holds images of cover art for most editions falling inside the genre 😊 Link, and I'll stop now! 😄 https://www.isfdb.org/ 7mo
Luke-XVX @Bookwomble haha it‘s all good. I‘ll definitely check that out. Thank you. There‘s a few podcasts I listen to that will probably have referenced these books so I won‘t feel too out of my depth haha 7mo
