Finished reading: After Hours at Dooryard Books by Cat Sebastian 📚
Cat Sebastian’s work unfailingly delights me and makes me feel like there’s somebody out there as awkward as me, somebody who feels things as deeply as I do. I’m so glad I read this book.

Finished reading: Dream A Little Dream by Susan Elizabeth Phillips 📚
If your public library, like mine, is having a delay in ordering new books due to the closure of Baker and Taylor, may I suggest checking out an author’s backlist? Susan Elizabeth Phillips would be a great choice.

Finished reading: What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher 📚
Why is fungus so goth? I don’t know but it is and it’s excellent. A very different take on gothic fungus from Mexican Gothic.

Finished reading: The Collected Schizophrenias by Esmé Weijun Wang 📚🎧
I love what I know of Esmé Weijun Wang, as a teacher, writer, and fellow traveler through the wilds of chronic illness. She reads the audiobook and her sweet voice lends such warmth to her beautiful essays.

Finished reading: The Cloisters by Katy Hays 📚
This is on the list of key titles for gothic fiction at NoveList Plus. It definitely skews more dark academia than traditional Gothic. More ambition and dangerous thirsd for knowledge than dread and family secrets.

Listen, I already knew KJ Charles was great because I read most of her Society of Gentlemen series and loved it. But after reading this bit of gothic perfection, I want us to become best friends.

There are some authors whose writing (and fine, online presence) makes yyou want to be friends with them. For me, Kristen Arnett is one of those writers. Maybe someday.

Finished reading: With Teeth by Kristen Arnett 📚
Kristen Arnett’s books are sad, funny, and ultimately hopeful. I don’t often miss the Florida of my early childhood, but when I read her work, I do. I tore through this one in one day.
