Here are 6 books that feel like Autumn to me.
Great memories from when my kids were little: Apples and Pumpkins, and The PennyWhistle Halloween Book
Cooking and Decorating: Old-Fashioned Pumpkin Recipes, and Autumn from the Heart of the Home
Cozy Autumn Reads: Autumn by the Sea, and Autumn in Sycamore Park

How often does a favorite book get turned into an OPERA? At the MET, no less?! They did a phenomenal job adapting this beautiful, tragic, sweeping story. The visual effects were especially unique. It‘s been years since I read this so I forgot how completely gutting it is, but the heightened emotionality was definitely well-suited for opera.
The #ToB crew is hosting a horror pop-up in which 16 classic horror novels will be set up against one another in the usual way.

I don‘t think I‘ll participate (too many books too little time) but I do love that tob is alive and kicking and can‘t wait for them to follow up with the #ToB26 longlist!
pickDuring VADER‘s quest to root out the remaining Jedi, he takes a beat to pick out where to build a ‘fortress of solitude‘. More than a new hideout, this base on the planet Mustafar (where he was reborn as the Sith Lord) serves as a key to more power from the Dark side of the Force. It might also be the tool for him to regain the one person he so desperately wants alive again…
“You lost?” the man asked. He had a zillion wrinkles, and he was wearing a hat that would suit an old-fashioned detective. He perched on a stool beside the stairs out of the subway station, ready to launch into a guitar solo.

pickThis book is a bible. It‘s the O.G. The first brick in the foundation of all Superhero comics that exist today. The 1st 38 issues of Spider-Man. This weighs nearly 3 kilos. My forearms are like Popeyes after reading it. Steve Ditko‘s art is sublime. It‘s a shame deadlines made it sometimes look rushed. But when he put the effort in, he drew the quintessential Spidey. I met Stan Lee once. I said “I love you Stan”. He said “Thanks” ‘‘Nuff said
pickExiled to the planet of Sakaar by Earth‘s heroes, the ship he was sent on explodes, killing his new wife and allies. HULK returns to his home planet seeking revenge on the ones who betrayed him. Amazing sequel to one of the best HULK stories ever. Brutal non-stop action, bathed in emotional resonance. Greg Pak deserves high accolades for these back-to-back masterpieces.
pickInstant classic!
HULK is deemed a danger to Earth by some of its heroes and sent off into space to the remote planet of Sakaar where he is taken as a slave to fight in gladiator battles. He wins his freedom and becomes the leader of the freed slaves, and takes over the planet. One of the best HULK stories I've ever read. A homerun of a narrative, so epic and fun!
Thank You @catsandbooks for #ShowAndTellTuesday and for the tag 🥳🎨💝.
Made this tonight, from upcycled materials.
Saved the foil seal from baking powder and transformed it into a Batman bookmark 🦇🔖📚 by cutting out design, using double-sided tape to attach to a drawing I doodled, and attaching a string that I had saved from a previous project.
These make good ornaments. Just be sure to be cautious in case the foil is sharp.
☺️🎨🦇💝.
I combined Batman with one of my favorite sayings:
“Hope Is Like A Seed, & A Seed Must First Be Planted In Darkness“ -Unknown
To create my Haiku:
A Darkness Swept World
A Rage Born From Injustice
Yet Hope Is A Seed
