Wow, I can’t believe I had never heard of Mariana Enriquez! Her bibliography is a treasure of stories just waiting to be explored. I might dive into some of her works in Spanish—to practice! Big shoutout to you, Tim, for being our guide on this thrilling literary adventure.
Shelfie time! 📚📖

Early Christmas gift from my husband. ☺️ Thank you, @timdownie.bsky.social, for taking the time to do this cameo. I'll have to watch those perfectly nostalgic spooky stories. Strange how they can be both spooky and comforting, isn't it!? Wishing you a wonderful Yuletide. 🎄

The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe is probably my favorite poem.
Ravens and crows appear throughout Edgar Allan Poe’s works, their dark wings carrying themes of death, mystery, and the macabre. Few authors have captured their essence so vividly. #BookologyThursday

So, when there's heavy rain and wind on a Saturday, is it Mother Nature's way to say it's ok to take a day off and just read all day? I think it is!! 😊 #reading #books

Garlic, both a flavorful staple and a ward against evil, appears in folklore worldwide. From repelling vampires in Eastern Europe to symbolizing protection in Mediterranean traditions, its pungent power is legendary. #FolkloreThursday

It's been grey and raining for the past week, but it's ok. I'm enjoying a hot cup of tea.
Tomorrow is Friday! Hang in there!
