Finished reading: The Cloisters by Katy Hays 📚
This is on the list of key titles for gothic fiction at NoveList Plus. It definitely skews more dark academia than traditional Gothic. More ambition and dangerous thirsd for knowledge than dread and family secrets.
Almost every gothic novel since Rebecca is Rebecca, and Rebecca is Jane Eyre. 📚
Finished reading: All of Us Murderers by KJ Charles 📚
Listen, I already knew KJ Charles was great because I read most of her Society of Gentlemen series and loved it. But after reading this bit of gothic perfection, I want us to become best friends.
📚 This has been a good week in book news for me. Kresley Cole announced a new series spun off of Immortals After Dark and preorders are open for Leigh Bardugo’s Six of Crows epistolary follow-up.
Finished reading: Worth Any Price by Lisa Kleypas 📚
Hey @cleverdevil and @mtt, looks like the On This Day script isn’t working on my blog using the Mythos theme. The single post layout uses the dt-published microformat. What else should I be looking at to try to fix it? Thanks!
Hello and welcome to the best month. 🎃👻⚰️🧛🏻♀️
Finished reading: Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One by Kristen Arnett 📚
There are some authors whose writing (and fine, online presence) makes yyou want to be friends with them. For me, Kristen Arnett is one of those writers. Maybe someday.
