The Mid-Century Does Anagogic Light. My home church is so beautiful to me. An example of the American School of Design meets MCM. Cracks and all, I love these windows.

Happy Valentine’s Day, Sugar Bones 🖤

This was everything I hoped it would be and more.

Seeing the same people fall for the latest ChatGPT trend that used to post “I do not authorize Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook, or Meta to use my information, posts, photos, or messages under any circumstances, repost this message and they won't have your permission." is a new kind of dystopia.

Untouchable. Kehinde Wiley, President Barack Obama, 2018. Amy Sherald, First Lady Michelle Obama, 2018.

Mass Market Horror Paperback Acquired: The 1979 Paul Monette novelization of Herzog’s Nosferatu. The cover! The sprayed edges! The photo gallery insert of film stills! So swoons my lil’ black heart.

Yea, I’m watching the documentary about the First Lady this weekend, duh.

"No single person can destroy what America stands for and believes in, not even a President, if we — all of America — stand up and speak out."

We stand with Minnesota 🕯️💙

Believe your eyes, not their lies.

Just sitting here thinking how we went from “Nasty Woman” to “F*ing B*tch” in less than a decade. Hating women seems to never go out of style.

Epiphany marks the end of Christmas/Yule in our house but we’re still deep in our wintering and surrounded by the bounty of this bare season.

The vibe for 2026 courtesy of our resident fiends at @thefloatingbookshop.com!

On the ninth day of Christmas we celebrate the first books bought in 2026! But which one to read first?

“Blow out the old, blow in the new. Blow out the false and blow in the true.”

Time for a holiday fave and the last read of 2025.

On the fifth day of Christmas we romanticize winter.

On the fourth day of Christmas we are full of cheese and leftover olives, watching the holiday episodes of our favorite shows, putting away the spoils of the season, resting, and reading out stories from MURDER FOR CHRISTMAS while I craft.

On day three of Christmas (really more like two and a half) we watch Black Christmas (1974) with nothing but the multicolored lights on and Brady’s (the real ones know) in our favorite winter mug before everyone else is awake.

On the second day of Christmas we drink delicious americanos at the ol’ coffeeshop with friends hubbing through the hometown.

Merry Creepmas!

We've got some incredible new books headed your way in 2026! Take a look and pre-order copies now during our holiday sale and save 40%!

Sincerely hoping more people are down with celebrating the Twelve Days of Christmas because our holiday cards will probably be delivered around the time that the two turtle doves or the three French hens arrive.... youtu.be/EDBMzGq1vhs?...

I arrived on the scene a little too late, but we still have an excellent time at @oupress.bsky.social! lithub.com/an-ode-to-th...

Scenes of Late Autumn or a Love Letter to November: A Continuation

Halloweek Dark Arts & Crafts: Part II - spooky bookmarks from scrap paper!

First Halloween craft of Halloweek complete! I burnished these cast black witch boots and I could not be more pleased. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the all black look, but when used as decor, they had a tendency to fade into their surroundings.

Currently Watching: When a Stranger Calls (1979)

AI-generated "books" are flooding Amazon and other online retailers. Here is a regular reminder: Take note of who published the books you read or buy. Presses are perhaps more important than ever in helping identify trustworthy resources in a failing information ecosystem.

"Inviting readers into a relationship with the people who make their books feels beneficial to the whole ecosystem, and in my experience the catalog often feels like a prominent way to achieve that sense of connection..." - Loved reading this piece by @derekkrissoff.bsky.social this morning!

Currently Watching: Something Wicked This Way Comes (1983).

Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day!

This is essential reading. I will also be picking up Macy's book PAPER GIRL that just came out on the 7th.

“The world is full of Maple Streets.” I’ve been thinking about this episode a lot these days.

It’s starting to look like a very vintage Halloween over here!

Easily the best intro to any movie hosted on #TheLastDriveIn! I’m going to need that on a loop! nicely done @therealjoebob123.bsky.social! @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social @shudder.com @themutantfam.bsky.social

Since it is the first day of October AND Witchy Wednesday, I thought we could try something different and fun - a look at the Halloween reading lists for the Sanderson Sisters! Which reading list do you like? Does it match up with your favorite sister?
