My reading challange for gothic fiction expanded slightly.
This along with Frankenstein forms the main stack of selections. I'm only missing The King in Yellow by Robert W. Chambers, The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving.

And the first two books of 2026 have been chosen!!
While I've read The Shining several times before I've actually never read Frankenstein. Almost a crime for a gothic horror loving creature of the night, such as myself💀💀

With Netflix canceling The Witcher after season 5, I'm seeing a lot of people asking where it went off the rails. Honestly, for me it was Season 1, Episode 5 " Bottled Appetites" where producers decided to take Yenn's consent away to further plot drama between she and Geralt.

There's simply no ethical way to support Harry Potter in 2025. It's not possible. $0.20 from every dollar you give JK Rowling goes directly to physically harming a trans person and that's not a joke or an exaggeration.

If you keep giving money to JKR, then as far as I'm concerned, you're very happy to support her campaigns of transphobia, and I want nothing to do with you. Unfollow or block me.

Apparently this is the year I tackle a good portion of the "must read" series. Wish me luck!

I don't just want trans friends to regain lost rights. I want them to live. I want them to thrive. I want them to endure to old age and dance on the graves of the wretched who made it their life's mission to spread hate against them.

Interesting. I'm reading "An Offer from a Gentleman" AKA Bridgerton book 3 and it's basically regency Ever After ....so Cinderella.
Oddly enough I vividly remember wanting to punch Baroness de Ghent in the face. Now I vividly want to punch Araminta in the face.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

I'm half way through The Viscount Who Loved Me(AKA Bridgerton book #2) and I'm really enjoying it
Having watched the tv show, and now read the books, I can say, I get why they went with a more dramatic take for the tv show. However, the streak of humor in the books is one of the best parts.

One of the best things about buying my husband a 3D printer for Yule is the fact he now presents me with macabre trinkets. It's incredibly sweet, like an Adélie penguin presenting its mate a pebble♥️

The first book of 2025 was started yesterday. I'll admit I put off reading the series because I had been inundated with things from the TV show. Turns out I was wrong, both are good.

The first two books of 2025 have been chosen! Technically its three stories because the Bridgerton volume has books 1&2 but that may be splitting hairs.

"Wolverden Tower." by Grant Allen
My favorite story so far! Very well written and blends Victorian England with Pagan customs/the occult.
