Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson. @Karisimo #MiddleGradeMonday

Kicking off the weekend in the best way possible: curled up in my recliner with my doggy, a good book, and a warm cup of cider by the fire. Here's to a cozy, lazy, and rejuvenating weekend!

This is going to be fun! Thanks for putting this together, @avanders! Tagging @tiedyedude in case you're interested! #StuffedStockingSwap #SSS

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

I loved this book!!

When I saw the prompt #HOWL I immediately thought of this werewolf scene from What We Do in the Shadows. 🤣 #WickedWhispers @eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

I stumbled upon this graphic novel at a local bookstore, and despite not knowing the author, I was instantly captivated by the storyline and artwork. Patton Oswalt‘s blurb sealed the deal for me: “Finally, murder and forensics are adorable.“ Count me in! #bookhaul

I selected this poem written by a-then medical student working with cadavers for the first time. #cadaver #wickedwhispers @eggs @alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Not my content but I believe it earns a spot on Litsy. #October #OctoberVibes

1. Fall drives and forest meanderings. I love the colors, the mushrooms, the smells, the Wooly Bear Caterpillars...the sound of crunching leaves and the sight of them blowing in the wind ❤
2. Dark Harvest by Norman Partridge
3. Autumn food: Chili and chocolate chip pumpkin bread. Drinks: Cider, tea, coffee, pumpkin beer & cocktails
@Eggs #WondrousWednesday

This book by Cornelia Funke is my choice for #Gruesome. I've never read it, though. Does anyone recommend it?
#WickedWhispers @Eggs @AlwaysBeenALoverofBooks

I selected the poem “Halloween“ by Mac Hammond for the #pumpkin prompt of the #WickedWhispers challenge. I always enjoy picking the pumpkin and carving it every Halloween. @Eggs @AlwaysBeenALoverofBooks

I hadn't heard of #coffeebeanbookclub until today but I'm interested in learning about it! ☕️🩷😊
