The Wendigo and Other Stories | Algernon Blackwood

This Christmas is definitely adding to my TBR shelf! I‘m so excited to read some of these books - how can I find the time?! I got these goodies in a secret Santa swap exchange. It‘s a cast iron tea pot and red velvet cake tea!

#BookedInTime

Those who do not learn from history, are bound to repeat it!!

Thanks to @PathfinderNicole and @majkia among others for suggestion.

Mollyanna This is a great one! I have Shrines of Gaiety currently checked out from the library, so that will probably be my choice. 1mo

majkia I've got Bright Young Dead by Jessica Fellowes I'll try to get to. 1mo

Amiable And unfortunately too often those of us who do know history still have to repeat it because of the uneducated. 😖 1mo

dabbe Got the column created and the books listed above are on it! 🤩 1mo

Cuilin @AllDebooks agreed 👍 1mo

julieclair Great theme! So many choices. I have updated the StoryGraph challenge, for those who are using it: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/f6f6ac21-909a-4d7e-9e1c-2084aab... 1mo

rwmg I have been reading Frances Brody's Kate Shackleton series set in 1920s Yorkshire, so I may read the next one:

A Snapshot of Murder: The tenth Kate Shackleton Murder Mystery

1mo

Cuilin @julieclair thanks I‘ve updated mine. 1mo

Cuilin @sblbooks sounds like a fabulous cozy read. 1mo

Cuilin @rwmg I love the sound of the series. 1mo

julieclair @rwmg Oh, I love the Kate Shackleton books, but haven‘t read any for awhile. Thanks for reminding me about them! 1mo

After The Scream: The Late Paintings of Edvard Munch | Elizabeth Prelinger, Edvard Munch, High Museum of Art

Pastel on canvas,from exhibit at the MOMA(2013)My son & his elementary school cases manager used to squeeze their cheeks & open their mouths wide in imitation of this painting. So we picked up the behavior at home & ran with it. 😂
