Our gnome, who wants to be called the chosen one now, insisted on leading this month's book tour of Hinterland from @twistedretreat.bsky.social. We are afraid to tell them no... Authored by @loganspurgeon.bsky.social Dust jacket by @littleforestcat.bsky.social #booksky #horror

@twistedretreat.bsky.social provided our little murder gnome with a shelf of her own to hold her favorite curios! Needless to say we are not getting it back anytime soon... #booksky #bookbox #horrorbooks

Keeping our toes warm with these gothic socks from our @twistedretreat.bsky.social February book box. Honestly they are perfect for curling up with a horror read and a cup of tea. Keeps the chill from creeping in, cannot account for other haunting entities though! #booksky #bookbox #horrorbooks

Natural Pure Honest always knocks it out of the park when they partner with @twistedretreat.bsky.social! This month's box featured a candle inspired by Dead of Winter with a gorgeous snowflake embellishment (and glitter!) and a whipped soap inspired by The Twisted Ones! #booksky #candle #soap

How does @twistedretreat.bsky.social always send what we need the most? In our February book box we got this delicious smelling raspberry chocolate coffee from Fable Grounds Coffee aptly named Wake the Dead! What a perfect item for this insomniac reader! #booksky #books #coffee #horrorcommunity

Who needs a jacket when you can simply stick the pin through your rib cage? Our skelly friend couldn't resist modeling the exclusive Art the Clown pin from this month's @twistedretreat.bsky.social box! And what a TERRIFYINGLY good job he did! #arttheclown #terrifier #booksky

@twistedretreat.bsky.social sent us the cutest little TBR minder! Our little light up ghost has already found the perfect place amoung our book shelves. This is one of our favorite items from our February Twisted Retreat book box! #ghost #TwistedRetreat #booksky #tbr #horrorbooks

Its our favorite time of the month: @twistedretreat.bsky.social #unboxing week! Another box full of goodies, not that we'd expect less from our besties 👻 This box features curated delights from @littleforestcat.bsky.social, @congoreport.bsky.social, @loganspurgeon.bsky.social, and more! #booksky

Are you as excited about the announcement of a new trio of Pokémon starters as we are? We've sat with the vibes to get some recs for Pombon, Gecqua, and Browt to add to your tbr. What do you think? Did we get the vibes right on these reads? #pokemon #bookrecommendations #booksky #tbr

We have been huge fans of Amanda Lovelace (@ladybookmad.bsky.social) for years! So when her newest book came up on @netgalley.bsky.social we both jumped at the chance. We can't wait for the world to read this & love it as much as we did! #poetry #booksky #reading #bookrecommendations #arcreader

Another month of goodies from @twistedretreat.bsky.social ! This box continues to be one of the best in our humble opinion. Always full of fun but practical items that are very on the theme! #twistedretreat #booksubscriptionbox #unboxing #booksky

@twistedretreat.bsky.social you have blown us away again with the November 2025 Don't Fall Asleep Box. We missed that this was a two book box! I think I am the most excited by the spooky cutlery. SeriousIy need a full service set of those please! 👻 #booksky #bookbox #horrorbooks #horrorcommunity

11 out of 12 moons done on this #readingchallenge ! This is such a cool idea that I have loved doing this year (even if I'm a bit slow to update it) -K #moonreadingchallenge #bookjournal #readingjournal #booksky

Soooo we looked away for a moment and the #zombiegnome co-opted the new ghosty cup from @twistedretreat.bsky.social as their new home. We're too frightened to question them. #horrorswag #horrorcommunity #booksubscriptionbox #booksky

This super cozy blanket from our @twistedretreat.bsky.social October box is perfect for cuddling up and reading. The bent neck woman freaks Karlee out but I love love love this so much! #booksky #reading #books #horrorbooks

We just want to sit around the campfire with them 🥺 The cutest item in this month's @twistedretreat.bsky.social box by a landslide has to be this flickering night light! Cozy spooky vibes all the way #horrorcommunity #ghosty #nightlight #smores #booksubscriptionbox #booksky

Hi yes if someone could just like 3D print Justin from Just For The Summer by Abby Jimenez that'd be AMAZING -K #abbyjimenez #justforthesummer #booksky

We're totally in love with the spooky photo card in our @twistedretreat.bsky.social box! If this were the postcard, we'd definitely want to visit 👻 would you?? #horrorcommunity #horrorswag #ghosty #booksky

Have I mentioned that I CANNOT stop thinking about Jihyun Yun's #TheRiverDragsHerDown ? It inspired me to try my hand at my first #moodboard - did I capture the vibes? #booksky #bookrecommendations

This treat was no trick! This spooky shaped pasta from @twistedretreat.bsky.social made for a great addition to our meal! What sauce would you pair them with? #horrorcommunity #cooking #booksubscriptionbox #booksky

It rubs the lotion on it's skin... and we're not even bothered when its this pumpkin carving & smoke scented lotion from Fiction Bath Co that came in this month's @twistedretreat.bsky.social box! [ #horror #horrorcommunity #booksubscriptionbox #booksky #halloween ]

September's #TBR Mushroom 🍄 pull is Trickster of Liberty by Gerald Vizenor! Better late than never? #physicaltbr #booksky #reading

What devious delights could we be cooking up with such inspiration 🤔 This Black Phillip inspired spoon rest by rezkiakbar from @twistedretreat.bsky.social is such an excellent addition to our kitchen!! #booksky #horrorswag #bookbox #horrorcommunity

Don't trust everything you see! One of these books is an imposter. Our @twistedretreat.bsky.social box came with a book tin that blends in so well with our horror book shelves. #booksky #bookbox #horrorbooks #horrorcommunity

Ghostie and Spooky are shopping our shelves for their next haunting read. So many options, so few hours in the day! Can relate!! My cutest new addition to my shelves is from our @twistedretreat.bsky.social book box and I love it so much! #booksky #bookbox #horrorbooks #spooky

Who doesn't love a nice soak after a night around the fire 🔥 IYKYK 😉 Thanks to @twistedretreat.bsky.social for this delightful #midsommar bath dust for us to luxuriate in [ #horrorbooks #horrorcommunity #booksubscriptionbox #booksky ]

Karlee's second Trope Challenge "Bingo" - this time in thrillers! #readingjournal #booksky #bookbingo #friedamcfadden

Bookcrimes does Book Clubs! Just a peak at the book clubs that Caitlin and Karlee are part of and the books we are reading for them in the month of September! #reading #booksky #bookclub

@twistedretreat.bsky.social in July came with not just 1 but 2 incredibly creepy books for the Servants of the Night theme. The first is this naked hardcover of The Night Prophets by Paul E. Olson. We were drawn in by this blood soaked design! #booksky #bookbox #horrorbooks #horrorcommunity

Feeling a little nostalgic today because 16 years ago is when the duo behind Bookcrimes first met and started yapping about books and 1 year of posting! I don't think we ever would have imagined the awesome things we have in our lives today! 🤯 #booksky #reading #bookrecommendations #anniversary

Rubber duckie made a bit of a mess. Good thing they have this awesome Blood Thirsty Sugar Scrub Soap from our @twistedretreat.bsky.social July 2025 horror box to clean up. #booksky #bookbox #horrorbooks #horrorcommunity

@twistedretreat.bsky.social sent us a new travel bag for everything one might need when leaving their preferred hovel in the woods 🐍 And with a #mushroom 🍄 print?! After my own heart... #bookbox #horrorbooks #horrorcommunity #booksky

Eek! #Freddy crept into our pothos hanging in the window and scared me 😱 He came from our July @twistedretreat.bsky.social box and is just to die for! #bookbox #horrorbooks #horrorcommunity #booksky

We were enthralled by this coffin ⚰️ pool floaty that came in our July 2025 @twistedretreat.bsky.social box! It might be a bit large for our little drowning pool though! #booksky #bookbox #horrorbooks #horrorcommunity #summerween

August's physical #TBR mushroom pull is... The Story of a Beautiful Girl by Rachel Simon! Check out that sticker price tho 😂 #physicaltbr #reading #booksky

#bookishbingo stamp 5 for Karlee! This one is for #ForWhomTheBelleTolls by @sea-ya-later.bsky.social which is still one of my favorite reads of the year. #mentalhealthrep #readingjournal #booksky
