***Editor’s Note: Ok, so, I thought I posted this last week. I had this entire post written out and ready to go...and then apparently I just never posted it? My brain swears I did, but since I was rather sick and exhausted last week, it’s possible my brain is wrong. Sigh. So, here is a very late February photo challenge prompt 🤦🏼♀️.*** Hello, bookish babes!
⠀⠀
Like so many of you, the coven and I have become a *tad* obsessed with the Netflix show The Witcher. Why you ask? It could be many reasons. Is it the badass female characters? Is it the truly wonderful comic moments? Is it the world building and magic? Is it Geralt and his fantastic back side? Basically, it’s all of those (especially that back side), and so many more.
⠀⠀
Since February is the month of love, the bookishcoven decided to devote the entire month to our new love and have a month chock full of Witcher prompts! Even if you have never watched the show/read the books, these prompts are perfect for everyone and can be manipulated however you see fit.
⠀⠀
Join us for the entire month or just here and there, we’re just happy to have you. Be sure to take your photos with #bookishcoven so the sister witches and I can see your amazing photos!

Hello, bookworms!
⠀⠀
It’s finally Friday! What? It’s not Friday? It hasn’t been an entire week yet? Are you sure? It’s felt like an entire week already. You’re sure. Well, crap.
⠀⠀
Upright Women Wanted by @gaileyfrey is an anti fascist, pulp Western, near-future novella about queer identity. There are bandits, shoot outs, and queer librarians leading the resistance. Oh yeah, this book is so rad. I devoured this story in one sitting, and was so sad when it was over. This is a bright and shiny five stars from me, and a very high recommendation.
⠀⠀
Upright Women Wanted comes out next week (February 4, 2020), and I need all of you to go get it post haste. It’s the resistance story we all need right now, so go grab it; you won’t be disappointed. Thank you so much to @tordotcompub for sending me this advanced copy!
⠀⠀
——————————————————
QOTD: You’ve joined the resistance in the world of Upright Women Wanted and now have to choose how to serve. Do you decide to be a librarian and travel around doing resistance work? Do you stay at home base and help from there? Do act as a spy and help from the inside? Or are you an assassin?

Hello, darling bookworms!
⠀⠀
Guess who finally feels semi-human? That’s right, this gal! It’s been a long week, Dear Reader, but I think the minion and I might finally be on the upswing. Now here’s hoping we can all stay healthy for awhile.
⠀⠀
Murderbot and I haven’t officially met yet, but judging by the people who have recommended the Murderbot Diaries to me, I have a feeling I’m gonna like the murderous little AI. All Systems Red is next up on my reading list, and I am stoked to finally be reading some science fiction again. ⠀⠀

QOTD: What kind of sci fi is your cup of tv? Do you enjoy aliens? Time travel? Spaceships? Robots? Anything you really don’t like about sci fi? Tell me aaaaalllll.

Hello, darling bookworms!
⠀⠀
I want to apologize for not being around much this week and for kind of failing at all things bookstagram. This virus is kicking my booty, and between being sick, taking care of the minions (sick and healthy), and school work I’ve been a tad absent. I’m *hopefully* finally on the upswing with this thing, so I should be around more normally again this week 😘.
⠀⠀
Let’s talk heroes and villains! I think we all know by now that I prefer my heroes to be more than slightly on the dark side, and I like my villains to be diabolical and terrifying (and maybe on occasion sexy?). Heroes that are too good just annoy me, and villains that aren’t, well, villain-y enough always just fall flat. Overall, I’m a sucker for a good villain over a good hero.
⠀⠀

QOTD: How do you like your heroes? How do you like your villains?

Hello, bookworms!
⠀⠀
It’s a snow day here in Spookville for everyone except me, so the minions are home with Dad snuggling and watching movies while I’m cold and covered in snow at school. Sigh. Oh well, at least I feel somewhat human today (thank you NyQuil cold and cough!).
⠀⠀
Today’s post is all about Queen @veschwab . I adore this woman. Can she write a bad book? I don’t think so, no. Every one of her books is utter perfection, and the anticipation for Addie is palpable. On top of that, she’s just about one of the nicest humans I’ve ever met. I was a blubbering mess when I met her, and she was so lovely even in the face of my awkwardness. They say not to meet your heroes because you’ll be disappointed, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth with Ms Schwab. Do I have a bit of a crush? You betcha, but listen, can you blame me?

QOTD: Do you have an author crush (it doesn’t have to be romantic, maybe you’re in love with their work)?

Hello, bookworms!
⠀⠀
The plague is still lingering here in Spooksville, but the smallest minion and I are hanging in there. Send coffee, Vick’s vapor rub, and ice cream.
⠀⠀
The Princess Bride is incredibly close to my heart. My parents introduced me to the movie when I was just a wee thing, and it’s remained my favorite (my minions love it too). It wasn’t until I was older that I read the book for the first time and discovered, to know ones surprise, that it is perfection. I’ve been quietly longing for this stunning @foliosociety edition for oh so long, and this year my parents gifted it to me for Christmas. I may have teared up, just a little.
⠀⠀
That’s all I’ve got for you today darlings. Be kind to yourself, be kind to each other, and have fun storming the castle!
⠀⠀

QOTD: My well of questions is currently closed due to illness, so why don’t you ask me something...
