Happy Saturday, darlings! The minions and I had quite a scary moment last night when the sky went from sunny to tornado in under 10 minutes. It all ended up being fine, but there was actual cloud rotation above my house for a few minutes...Missouri spring is the WORST.
⠀⠀
I’m happier news, I will begin packing and prepping in earnest for BEA and BookCon today. I’ve made about a dozen lists, washed/put away every piece of laundry in the house, and stocked the kitchen. The hubs will be working and dealing with the babes alone all week, so I’m trying to set him up for a semi-easy week. I’m crazy anxious, but focusing on packing helps...just kidding, nothing helps 😂🙈.
⠀⠀
In some VERY exciting news...my rep code for @creativeleighcrafts is now live! Leigh is an amazing human, her mugs and products are freaking delightful, and they are very well made. I am so excited and humbled to be repping for her! Today’s post features the ADSOM four Londons camping mug. For a discount on it and everything else in the shop, use my code SPOOKY15!

QOTD: What’s a weird/strange/unusual habit you have?
AOTD: I don’t like my food to touch, I eat one thing at a time and if I stop eating something before it’s gone I won’t go back to it, and have to make my bed before I get into it.

Happy Friday, my darlings!
⠀⠀
It is finally the last day of school for my oldest minion, and I now officially have a second grader. I don’t know why, but second grade seems so old to me! Seriously, where did my tiny babe with an enormous head go (don’t worry, he grew into it)? <gets a little misty>
⠀⠀
Ahem, sorry about that. Anyway, today’s prompt was meant to be all about candle appreciation, but I decided to take it in a different direction. Instead, I present to you books about fire. Whether it’s wielded as a weapon of control, a means of self-defense, or as a sickness to be avoided, fire is always powerful and consuming. It certainly scares the hell out of me.
⠀⠀
So here is my offering of deference to the gods of fire...may it appease them.
——————————————————
QOTD: I think I might be borrowing my question today from someone else, but I can’t remember who (sorry!); I thought some light cuteness was needed after all that fire talk...If you could take any literary character on a picnic, who would it be?
AOTD: I had originally thought Kaz, but I don’t think he would appreciate it enough, so instead I’ll take Malachiasz because he’s my new boyfriend and he really needs a nice afternoon 😂🖤.

Happy Thursday, bookworms!
⠀⠀
Miracle of miracles, we actually had mail delivered today! Apparently the new mailbox is finally to the post masters liking, which is great because I’m pretty tired of picking my mail up form the post office everyday. I ordered a special edition of Heart Shaped Box (my favorite Joe Hill book) to take to New York with me next week, and it arrived today! That means everything is here, and the packing can officially begin!
⠀⠀
Are you a fan of animals being featured prominently in books? I certainly am, although it makes me really anxious that the author will kill them off. I especially enjoy animals that are not quite real...think Mr. Kindly from Nevernight. What about you? Fans of animals in books or no thanks?
——————————————————
QOTD: We’ve all answered the question of what animal we would want for a familiar, so how about what animal you absolutely wouldn’t want?
AOTD: Spiders. I really, really do not like spiders, and having one for a familiar would be...awkward.

Hello, bookish babes! If you’ll be so kind as to indulge me for a moment, things are going to get a wee bit mushy...
⠀⠀
As many of you know, my birthday was earlier this month. As many of you also know, I am co-host of the #bookishcoven monthly photo challenge with @kirasalchemyofbooks @the.alexeliza and @scribeinspired .What many of you don’t know, however, is how very special and wonderful my sister witches are, and how very much they mean to me. For my birthday, these lovely ladies surprised me with a signed and personalized copy of one of my favorite all time books by one of my favorite all time authors. These ladies knew how bummed I was that the lovely @misterkristoff was not coming to the KC area, so they shipped a little piece of happiness to me instead. I literally squealed, jumped around, did a happy dance, and maybe cried (just the tiniest bit) when I opened this truly thoughtful gift.
⠀⠀
I am incredibly lucky in my life to have a supportive and loving family, a fanstastic husband and children, and a top notch bestie...but I didn’t realize what I was missing until I joined this amazing community. These ladies have made me even luckier🖤. Thank you so much for being a friend.
⠀⠀
Ok, emotions are over and your regularly scheduled programming can now commence.
——————————————————
QOTD: In honor of today’s prompt...which Golden Girl are you? If you’ve never seen the Golden Girls (what are you even doing with your life?!), then pick a favorite squad and tell me who you are in that group.
AOTD: I’m such a Dorothy, but I’ve got a dash of Blanche too 😉

#bookishcoven Thank you for being a friend

Happy Tuesday, bookish darlings! I’m not sure, but it’s possible that the torrential downpour that’s been happening at my house is just never going to stop. Don’t get me wrong, I love the rain, but the river that is my driveway/street/yard/every parking lot is a bit much. 🤷🏼♀️😬
⠀⠀
Today’s prompt was @kirasalchemyofbooks suggestion, and I immediately and enthusiastically agreed because any reason to celebrate Deathless is a good reason. I wasn’t even halfway through the book before I knew it was going to be one of my all time favorites. Have you ever had a book just speak to you and tell you that it was written just for you? That’s what this book said to me.
⠀⠀
One of the reasons I adore this book so much is Koschei the Deathless. He is fascinating and magnetic, intimidating and scary, generous and oh so very cruel. What I love most is that this book never tries to apologize for him or make him acceptable: it just presents Koschei for what he is...terrible and beautiful.
⠀⠀
*gorgeous Deathless candle by the lovely @alchemyandink ——————————————————
QOTD: Who is one of your favorite cruel characters?
AOTD: Other than Koschei, I have a terrible fondness for the Darkling...what can I say, I have a type.

#bookreadhappyhour Favorite fantasy tropes...I’m a sucker for characters like Koschei in any fantasy
