Every December I relisten to all the Harry Potter books. Jim Dale just reads to me constantly- even to sleep. #holidaytraditions

Unfogging the future. Very good guide to all your basic fortune telling methods: palmistry, crystal balls, bird entrails. #waitwhat

White is for Witching | Helen Oyeyemi

Day 29 of the 30 Day Readathon is a short book so here is a short but never a light read with Oyeyemi. And still going strong on witches...sort of. #30DaysofReadathon #day29 #shorties #heavyhitters #witching

Gang, the exact page I was at in the audiobook was already marked off. Maybe I'm tapping into my own witch powers. #spooky #bookwitch #witchywomen

Getting some badass lady witchy books for fall. And while not intentional, I think Edna and Hillary would totally fit in with their neighbors. #witchywomen

Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo | Taylor Jenkins Reid
post image
Pickpick

Nailed it. 💋💋 Right? Right?

Evelyn Hugo is a famous actress known for her chest, her blonde hair and her seven husbands. She picks Monique Grant, a little known writer, to finally write her tell-all biography.
This is a fun little fake-scandal book that attempts to encompass and show all the nuances of being a famous lady.

Excited to start this one. I'm hoping it catches the nuances of aging female friendship and womanhood. Too much?

Some morning skulls for this "beach read" with a seriously ominous vibe and the historic (and a little creepy) Dakota hotel.

Lucky Boy | Shanthi Sekaran

A little something to enhance your reading. Remember in Lucky Boy how Soli rides "The Beast" and those women throw food to them - well here's a new documentary about that train and those women, las patronas.

"Cruising the library is not simply a metaphor but a method, inspired by José Esteban Muñoz's Cruising Utopia, for understanding the ways in which the library inhibits intersectionality and intersexuality by reducing bodies of literature lot disciplined, discrete subjects distributed across the library." #damn #litemorningreads #knowyourprivilege

A Certain Age: A Novel | Beatriz Williams

Pickpick

Three chapters in and loving this (what I call) #ladieswholunch / jazz era novel. I haven't even gotten to the mystery yet. But it already reads like Gossip Girl meets The After Party but with 20s slang. You know...that awesome sweet spot.

Jane Steele | Lyndsay Faye
post image
Pickpick

When your sister finally gets around to that book you recommended you must creep. Jane Steele is a badass retelling of Jane Eyre. Normally, I do not like retellings/adaptations. But this one is delightfully tongue-in-cheek. A fun quick read with a self awareness that is sharp and humorous.
