Let’s talk about it: 🧹 CHOOSE A WITCH, GET A BOOK REC 🧹 

Witchy books are some of my favorites. I was thinking about the different kinds of witches I’ve read about and the idea for this post was born.

I took it a step further and asked some of my favorite people to give their “witch and book rec” pairings. Make sure you swipe to see them all! (They’re GOOD!)

Thank you to my all my contributors 💜

So, which witch you got? Are there any not included here you’d like to recommend? by @unstable.books

Let’s talk about it: 👻 BOOKS THAT SCARED STEPHEN GRAHAM JONES 👻

Being scared by my favorite authors is a common occurrence. But I wondered, what books scare THEM? So, I asked SGJ what books he’s read that truly creeped him out and gave him the heebie jeebies. The answers honestly did not surprise me 😂 

Swipe through to see which of his books have scared ME! Always so very grateful for the support I receive when reaching out to authors. I know their time is precious 🫶🏼 have any of SGJs books freaked you out? Have you read any of the ones he chose? by @unstable.books

Let’s talk about it: 📚 TUCSON FESTIVAL OF BOOKS 📚

This past weekend I was able to attend the @tucsonfestivalofbooks and oh boy, will I be back next year. I did not take many photos but managed a couple 😂 I was too busy scoping out new local authors and reads!

I (finally) got to see & chat with Rachel in person and yes, she is THAT queen 💜 I did get to attend a panel dubbed “Inherited Nightmares” with authors @rachelharrisonsghost @authorchristinahenry & @llmadridwrites and needless to say it was fantastic!

I also got to meet @tom_deady editor of The Rack anthology 1 & 2! Thank you Tom for chatting with me a bit! Also, thank you to @wolfbandit89 my partner who prioritizes these events for me and believes I belong in every room I enter 💜

Let’s talk about it: INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DAY - PLEASE READ CAPTION

If you know me, you already know how I feel. Today, I’m just tired. So tired. What I will say is that I urge you to read diversely. Read Indigenous stories. Cultivate some damn empathy. LEARN. And if you “can’t relate”, I don’t know what to tell ya. Cultural aspects in books shouldn’t “take you out of the story”.

My DMs are always open to ask for book recommendations or suggestions on other Indigenous creators to follow. 💜 by @unstable.books

🪶HAPPY INDIGENOUS PEOPLES’ DAY🪶: 

Every day, I wake up proud to be Indigenous. Every day, I honor the Indigenous people who fought - and are still fighting - back against colonization. To me, every day is Indigenous Peoples’ Day. 

Here’s what you can do today to participate in IPD:
📍 Learn about whose land you live on
📚 Read books by Indigenous authors
📰 Research issues that directly affect Indigenous communities
🛍️ Support Indigenous artists and businesses
📖 Educate yourself and honor the lives of Missing + Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) 

And finally, fuck Christopher Columbus 🖕🏽
 
I gwshe gweyen (“With heartfelt thanks” in Potawatomi) 🤍❤️💛🖤

Let’s talk about it: 🐾 FIND ME WHERE IT ENDS FULL REVIEW 🐾

Full coverage for Find Me Where It Ends by @casskhaw is live over on The Fandomentals. 🔗 is in my bio and stories! The book is out TODAY from @tornightfire … To say this book hit me right where it hurts is an understatement. I have never felt more seen. Thank you Cass for writing this story. 

A small snippet of my review: “Khaw’s writing is lyrical and devastating without becoming overly ornate. Images arrive sharp and strange, often carrying more emotional weight than an entire paragraph of exposition could accomplish. There is a touch of dreamlike quality to this novella, but the beating heart at its core remains at the forefront. Even with a tale dealing with psychopomps, ghosts, family curses, and mythology surrounding death, Antigone’s pain feels palpably real.” by @unstable.books

Let’s talk about it: 🚨 WORRY BOX FULL REVIEW NOW LIVE @cemeterydancepub 🚨 
In depth coverage for Worry Box by @chrispanatier is now live at Cemetery Dance! 🔗 in my bio and stories 💜 Chris does not miss and I’ll scream that until the wheels fall off. Worry Box is available now so go grab your copy. Publisher: @angryrobotbooks 

A small snippet of my review: “Panatier’s setup is deceptively straightforward because Worry Box is not out to throw the entire toolbox of haunted-house cliches at the reader. Instead, the horror festers and bubbles in the violent collision between something supernatural and painfully real. Lailah’s intrusive thoughts are frightening precisely because they are unwanted. They are invasive possibilities that she fears say something about her true nature. As the strange events around the family escalate, that fear becomes impossible to separate from reality. That uncertainty is one reason the novel shines.” by @unstable.books

Let’s talk about it: 🏠 TRAD WIFE FULL REVIEW 🏡 

Full coverage for Trad Wife by @sarahlangan is now live over on The Fandomentals! 🔗 in my bio and stories 💜

A small snippet of my review: “The most frightening thing about Trad Wife is the realization that the fantasy being sold at Black Swan Farm is terrifying because so many people are willing to believe it blindly. It is seductive. The promise that there is a “perfect” or “correct” way to live can be far more dangerous than monsters hiding in the dark.”

Thank you @atriabooks for sending me an ARC for review ☺️Go give it a read or you hate me! 🥰 by @unstable.books
