I got 61% on the survey. Three of my favorites are coconut cream pie, key lime pie, and blackberry cobbler. But I don't eat any of those at Thanksgiving, so it's safe to say Thanksgiving desserts aren't my favorite. #TLT #ThreeListThursday @dabbe

dabbe I thought quite a few of these were a stretch since some fruits aren't even ripe at this time of year, but I guess it's hard to come up with 100 desserts! Thanks for playing and sharing! 🤎🍁🧡 7d

Have you heard of REM Sleep Behavior Disorder? RBD is where one physically acts out vivid, often unpleasant dreams w/ vocal sounds & sudden, often violent arm & leg movements during REM sleep. Onset is generally gradual & can get worse over time. It seems I likely have it. I'm waiting for my sleep study results; my follow-up appt w/ the doctor's on Tues & it can't come soon enough! #WhatsNewWednesday @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Read4life @Tiedyedude

The Wood at Midwinter | Susanna Clarke
post image

I couldn't face the world yesterday, so I chose to stay protected inside the bubble of comfort and safety of home. I stayed off of social media and the news. I read, I cocooned, I drew. I finished this pumpkin charcoal drawing I had been working on a little at a time. Today I'm back at work but am remaining largely offline, and I found this gorgeous book that sounds very autobiographical. I can't wait to immerse myself in it!

Deblovestoread Glad you did what you needed to take care of yourself! 💙 2w
Seabreeze_Reader A lovely 🎃 drawing. 🧡 I hear you about mostly staying offline. Unfortunately, I haven't felt like reading though. 2w

A Face Like Glass | Frances Hardinge
post image

In the underground city of Caverna the world's most skilled craftsmen toil to create delicacies beyond compare. The people of Caverna are more ordinary, but for one thing: Their faces are as blank as untouched snow. Into this dark and distrustful world comes Neverfell, a girl with no memory of her past and a face so terrifying that she must wear a mask, for emotions are obvious on her face, and that makes her very dangerous. #mask #wickedwhispers

I remember enjoying this alternate-history novel set in post-Civil War America, where the dead rise as zombies during the Battle of Gettysburg. The story follows Jane McKeene, a young Black woman trained to fight the undead, as she navigates a world of racial tension, survival, and rebellion.

1. My second and third grade teacher, Mrs. Woodbury. I loved her so much, and she was such a calming, soothing, and supportive influence in my life. She also encouraged my writing and penmanship and saw qualities in me that I didn't see myself.
2. My husband, Andrew (@tiedyedude). He's supportive, funny, loving, creative, and my favorite person.

For the #death prompt of #WickedWhispers, I have decided to share a copy of the letter my skeleton, Eliza R. Cage (R stands for Rib), sent to her boyfriend, Edgar, who resides in Colorado. She hadn't heard from him for quite awhile and was relieved to hear from him! 💀 ❤😁 (I apologize that the font is probably too small to read on a phone. I'll try adding the text to the comments section as well). @eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

WildAlaskaBibliophile My Dearest Edgar,
It was with profound delight that I received thy missive after so long an absence. I had feared the most dire of fates—that thou hadst passed beyond the veil and were deader than dead. How my heart was eased to learn that thou wert merely left to languish upon some dusty shelf through the heat of summer's reign. As for myself, I found solace in the warm embrace of the sun, its beams a balm for these weary, timeworn bones of mine.
1mo
WildAlaskaBibliophile Indeed, after the bitter, cold, and shadowed months of winter, I reveled in the chance to drink deep of its golden light, so much-needed to restore my strength.
But now, dear Edgar, the season that is dearest to me descends—Fall, that most beguiling harbinger of death's beauty. How I am entranced by the withering leaves outside my window, their colors turning with such elegant decay. The fallen wood, now but a cradle for rot and the slow bloom of
1mo
WildAlaskaBibliophile mushrooms, the fungi weaving their intricate designs upon nature's fading flesh. Oh, how lovely is the sight of life as it ebbs! And soon approach my favored celebrations—Halloween and Día de los Muertos, when the veil between our world and the next grows thin. I have already whispered my desires to Stacy regarding my Halloween costume, and she, industrious as ever, has begun to gather the elements required to bring my vision to life. 1mo
See All 6 Comments
WildAlaskaBibliophile Yet, I shall keep thee in suspense, for I long to surprise thee with what I shall become.
On the 26th of October, we shall host a gathering in honor of All Hallows‘ Eve, and though the cruel distance between us prevents thy physical presence, I shall feel thy spirit linger with us, surely. Perhaps I may even call upon thee through séance, that I might conjure thy shade to our company.
1mo
WildAlaskaBibliophile My beloved Edgar, my affection for thee knows no diminishment, and my longing to share in thy company grows ever greater as the days pass. I eagerly await thy next correspondence, trusting it shall come swiftly and with fondness.

Affectionately and eternally thine,
Eliza
