Seanan McGuire is one of my all-time favorite authors & I love this!💜 Frankenstein+Stranger Things (w/o the romances). So intricate & delicate, a love letter to math & language, and siblings. A scifi fantasy of epic proportions & masterful storytelling.📚 #booksellerJaya

Rereading is a real treat sometimes! ✨️ So wonderful! A folktale that feels like coming home & going on an adventure all at the same time. A dash of Wizard of Oz & Alice in Wonderland, but told w Seanan's love of language. A book for grownups but one that young teens could enjoy. 💜 #booksellerJaya

Want to read something fun & short? This @tordotcom.bsky.social novella by @adamchristopher.me was a treat! An interesting character to follow-a robot PI-& a great story. Full of gangsters, a dame who isn't as she seems, & a heist. Gonna read the series next.😄

It's not quite cold enough yet but I wanted to throw on my "I Still Read Fairytales" sweatshirt anyway. Dreaming of cold nights and days spent reading. ✌🏽💜✨️

So sad she's gone. Immediately burst into tears when Jeff told me. I know most people associate her with Annie Hall, but for me it's this one. I think most of you can probably see why. RIP Diane Keaton, you legend 💜

I love this movie. Seen it more times than I count (probably 100's). It came out just as I graduated HS, going to college. It was my comfort movie. I wanted to be her, a successful writer w/ this gorgeous beach house & awesome fashion sense. Somewhere in my subconscious, I latched into this & her. 💜

It has Keanu Reeves playing the most adorable doctor. Francis McDormand playing the sister, Amanda Peet is the daughter. Jack Nicholson is the guy, but this lady... Diane Keaton is our main character. &, she is incredible! She's so funny & endearing that you're rooting for her the whole time. 💜

Let me tell you about this little movie from 2003 called Something's Gotta Give. It features a writer falling in love with the man who's dating her daughter. It has humor and heartbreak.

HUMAN artists, use only one #art piece to convince people to follow you!
Moon rises over a red-head witch holding an ax while standing in a graveyard. She wears a yellow dress, violet vest, and a red coat with a gold pocket watch attached. She also holds a skull. Three jack o'lanterns sit in the graveyard.

Red and black Friday the 13th warning poster. Keep calm and... don't go swimming. Don't have sex. Don't smoke. Don't drink. Don't go out. Don't split up. Don't run from the killer. If you trip, get up and run. And above all, turn on the stupid light before entering any room.

A fav!💜 2nd read & I stand by my initial review: If you need something to fill the Ted Lasso void... So in love w the characters & story. Ted Lasso meets Mean Girls! Small town, girls HS soccer team, a mess of a FMC, hot track coach & some incredible steam. Definitely recommend!! 😄 #booksellerJaya
