this #jewish #historicalfantasy is flirting with me. Glossary, cast of characters, map, and a motif on some of the pages

hopefully this novella is better than “nothing but blackened teeth”. #horror

edit: finished the novella in about a hour. 2/5. Interesting plot, but good god someone needs to rip away their thesaurus. “unhandsomeness” instead of ugly, “phalanges” instead of fingers, and so on. there is a bonus short story (like 4 pages) at the end that I liked more than the novella #mermaids #bodyhorror

reading outside is my favorite place to read #nature #arctic #shipwreck

#thai food is one of my favorites

#supernatural

Sundays are for #TBR reading #vikings

I have a masters in biology and my research was focused on #bees. I love insects #nonfiction #science

I finished “A Wizard‘s Guide to Defensive Baking“” last and I am starting Nettle & Bone.

“A Wizard‘s Guide to Defensive Baking“ has malicious gingerbread! #fallreads #baking

#gothic fiction is soooo good. I read “The Hollow Places” by T. Kingfisher last year and these two novellas and they are AMAZING. Perfect #fall reads.

Finished “What Feasts at Night” last night and immediately put three of her books on hold.

#everydayishalloween

never to early to start #halloween reading #spooky

A retelling of #edgarallanpoes “thefall of the house of usher”. a solid 4/5. I love the use of fungi in gothic fiction.
