The Devil and the Deep: Horror Stories of the Sea | Ellen Datlow

It keeps being beautiful app week while I'm at work and then storming on the weekend. Just had a few huge thunder claps and the cats are spooked. I guess it's a good atmosphere to curl up with an anthology of nautical horror stories at least.

What's your reading atmosphere like today #littens?

Beatlefan129 Woke up to a couple of inches of snow this morning. It‘s a good day to cuddle up with a cup of tea and a book 📚 6y

WhatWouldJaneDo @Beatlefan129 OMG! It's a little chilly here but no where near cold enough for that, thank goodness. Hope you have a cozy day! 6y

mcctrish The sun is shining 🎉and it‘s going to 13 C so I might drag a chair out on the deck and read there #londonontario 6y

WhatWouldJaneDo @mcctrish temp's about the same here, so I'm jealous of your sun! I need some vitamin D over here... 6y

mcctrish I hope it comes out soon for you ( we just finished 2 days of rain ) 6y

Murder City: The Untold Story of Canada's Serial Killer Capital, 1959-1984 | Michael Arntfield

One more from The Forest City Cookbook. Goat Stew. Now goat isn't all that common around here but I have had it before (the first time was in a trip to Haiti in 2007ish) and it is quite delicious.

Murder City: The Untold Story of Canada's Serial Killer Capital, 1959-1984 | Michael Arntfield

Some (okay quite a few) local chefs got together recently to publish this delightful cookbook full of recipes from around the city. It's absolutely wonderful. And it's over 500 pages with beautiful photos. I'm so happy I purchased a copy before they ran out.

Tagged book semi-unrelated. Local professor who wrote about the city's awful past.

Murder City: The Untold Story of Canada's Serial Killer Capital, 1959-1984 | Michael Arntfield

Started this one last night. It's the last book left on my #readharder challenge: A book set within 161km of your location. This is actually a book about the city that I live in now. And I'm incredibly glad that it is not full of serial killers anymore😱🤤 The city has changed so much since the books time period. #londonontario #forestcity #canadiancrime #notabouttheblackdonnellys

rabbitprincess Yikes! Sounds interesting though! 7y

brilliantglow @rabbitprincess it's incredibly interesting! But equally disturbing. I am actually contemplating not finishing it because it's giving me horrible nightmares 7y

Okay fellow Forest City (or surrounding area) Littens, some of us have talked about this but let's actually make it happen. London Ontario Litsy Meet up. I am thinking sometime next month now that (hopefully) the rain is letting up. I have suggested Fire Roasted (king and talbot) for a meeting place because it's nice and central for everyone. But suggestions are welcome 😃 tag your fellow Londoners and let's plan something #Londonontario

brilliantglow @Jenshootsweddings @drokka @mcctrish @StellaDz @jpease89 8y

StellaDz I'm perfectly happy wherever! I'm semi-new to London so don't know a lot of places. 😉 8y

brilliantglow @StellaDz yay! I've only lived here for a few years myself, so I don't have a plethora of meeting place suggestions either but I'd like to pick somewhere easy for everyone to get to. Which is why I've suggested this fire roasted location. Downtown is pretty central for anyone in town and easy to get to if you have to bus it, even if you've never been there before. Plus fire roasted is locally owned 😃 8y

StellaDz That sounds perfect! I'm east end, basically Veterans Memorial, so I can zip around to anywhere! 😃😃 8y

brilliantglow @StellaDz perfect! You're pretty close to me then. Also East Side. Just off Cheapside St. 8y

Jenshootsweddings I'm easy for places but I can be a pain when it comes to scheduling! 8y

brilliantglow @Jenshootsweddings note taken! My schedule is very easy to work with. Hopefully we will all be able to figure something out. 8y

jpease89 Hi!!! This sounds good to me :) I am on vacation from May 19th-29th so I can meet up before or after! Weeknights are best for me, but I'm around some weekends! Maybe someone can pick a few options and we can vote 8y

brilliantglow @jpease89 yay! I'm going to put together some options. Just hoping to hear from @drokka and @mcctrish first 8y

drokka Ah meant to reply the other day, but I have a cold and the mess make me a bit whooohooo. 😂 I'm good with a central location and might be able to do early weeknights, but work change my schedule on a dime. Also, I rely on bus and have an early bed time due to having to get before the dawn. Weekends generally work better for me but if I know enough ahead of time I can maybe swing it. 8y

mcctrish Hi, sorry I have notification off on my phone so didn't see this. I can do evenings or weekends usually, and I know where fireroasted is. Are most people coming by bus or car? Parking is 👎🏻at that corner, there is also Black Walnut up by Oxford on Richmond but their hours aren't as late as Fireroasted I guess. 8y

brilliantglow @StellaDz @Jenshootsweddings @jpease89 @drokka @mcctrish how does June 3rd sound? Maybe in the afternoon. I've never been to Black Walnut but there is better parking options there for anyone driving. 8y

StellaDz @brilliantglow @Jenshootsweddings @jpease89 @drokka @mcctrish June 3 is good for me. I have nothing booked yet! I'd be driving, but just tell me when and where! 😃👍 8y

jpease89 Would June 4th work? @Jenshootsweddings and I will be at the cottage on the Saturday for most of the day. Sundays are a little quieter too :) 8y

brilliantglow @jpease89 I'll be in Guelph on the 4th. But maybe we can try the following weekend? 10th/11th @StellaDz @Jenshootsweddings @drokka @mcctrish 8y

mcctrish I may be out of town that weekend but nothing is confirmed yet ( I might be driving the after prom crew to Grand Bend) and I seriously have no idea when it will be confirmed since these are teenagers I'm dealing with 8y

Jenshootsweddings I might be out of town the 10/11 but it's not for sure yet, I'll know in a few days. Maybe a weekday evening might work better for everyone, as summer starts ramping up? 8y

brilliantglow How about the evening of Wednesday June 14th? @Jenshootsweddings @drokka @mcctrish @jpease89 @StellaDz 8y

Jenshootsweddings I can do that! 8y

jpease89 June 14th works! 8y

brilliantglow @Jenshootsweddings @jpease89 YAY! Hopefully it will also work for @drokka @mcctrish and @StellaDz 8y

mcctrish So far so good with the 14th! Give me time and place and I'll put it on my calendar 8y

StellaDz I am also good with the 14th as well! Just like @mcctrish, let me know when and where. @brilliantglow @Jenshootsweddings @jpease89 @drokka 8y

drokka What time would we meet? If it's early enough then I should be able to make it, baring any last minute mandatory business trips (I'm not anticipating one at this time - keeping fingers crossed) 🙂 8y

brilliantglow Yay! I'm so happy that the 14th will potentially work for everyone😃 @drokka what would be early enough for you? Would 4/430 work? Is that too early for everyone else? @StellaDz @jpease89 @mcctrish @Jenshootsweddings I'm also going to say Black Walnut over Fireroasted if we have people that will be driving. 8y

StellaDz @brilliantglow I work till 4:30 so I'd potentially be a few late 8y

drokka That works for me. Even a bit later would be okay too, I can putter around at Attic Books and CityLights until 5 if that is better for others. 8y

Jenshootsweddings Perfect for me! Do you mean Black Walnut on Richmond, not the original wortley location? 8y

brilliantglow Black Walnut on Richmond, yes😃 say 430 June 14th @Jenshootsweddings @drokka @StellaDz @jpease89 @mcctrish 8y

mcctrish I should be able to get there 4:30-ish depending on work, traffic, softball games( my husband coaches at school) and my kids schedules ( it's just before exams so teams etc... should have wound down) 8y

brilliantglow @mcctrish awesome! I'm glad we found a time/date that works for everyone 8y

drokka Black Walnut is just a block away from where I work. Easy least for me. 🙂 8y

mcctrish Everybody bring a book so we know who we are 🤣 8y

brilliantglow @mcctrish great idea! @drokka @StellaDz @Jenshootsweddings @jpease89 8y

Jenshootsweddings Yay!! 8y

drokka I was thinking the same thing @mcctrish 8y

mcctrish @drokka great minds 😘 8y

lynneamch I visited your town many years ago and stayed at a charming Victorian B&B. Lovely. I know you'll have a great time together. I'll look for your post. 😊 8y

mcctrish Thank god you posted this, I completely forgot what number tomorrow was ( #schoolisalmostovermustkeepgoing ) 8y

brilliantglow @mcctrish Summer break is almost here! You've got this. 💪😃 8y

brilliantglow @mcctrish @StellaDz @drokka @jpease89 @Jenshootsweddings I will have a Harry Potter bag full of books. The books are ones I thought someone might be interested in having but also a good way for everyone to identify me😃 8y

drokka @brilliantglow hahah, I have a bag from St.FX University with a couple of cozies if someone wants them @StellaDz @mcctrish @jpease89 @Jenshootsweddings 8y

brilliantglow @drokka awesome! We should be able to spot each other pretty easily 8y

mcctrish Book Outlet ( I was so close 🤔🤣) 8y

brilliantglow @mcctrish well it does have "book" in the titled ??? 8y

mcctrish @brilliantglow I know!!! Bet they have a whole wall of books with blue covers for people like me too 8y
