Currently Reading “Our Share of Nicht” by Mariana Enriquez and am thoroughly digging it.

I’d also highly recommend “Come Closer” by Sara Gran

📕 Soon by Lois Murphy 📕 absolutely enthralled/destroyed me in the best way possible. One of those rare reading experiences where I sat bolt upright and sort of whimpered, 'Oh no!' out loud to an empty room.

“It was a bright cold day” in February of 2025 when, for no reason in particular, I began reading “1984”.

Annual viewing of “The Poseidon Adventure”. 70’s disaster film nostalgia, all-star cast, and New Year’s Eve. There’s got to be a morning after.

It’s always nice to have just the right “vampire in a coffin” necklace to accessorize an outfit when heading out to the movies. 🧛‍♂️🍿🎥

Just saw “Nosferatu”. Wonderful homage to the original.

One of my favorite author moments was being invited to a read along of “A Christmas Carol” at a local Barnes and Noble. My part: reading the spirit of things yet to come. It teaches us that we can change our own future and impact those who cross our paths by the choices we make.
