Something’s Gotta Give has always been my favourite film, my comfort laugh and cry. Diane Keaton has given us so many lovable characters. Rest is peace Queen.

It has a symbolic meaning for my research, expressing her intellectual engagement and deep understanding of the supernatural and the history and literature of witchcraft.

It is a photo of Sylvia Plath that I admired for years, and it has never been used as a cover for a Plath book.
She looks beautiful, happy, and magical and is surrounded by books.
