First spooky season read (from August): "The Invocations" by Krystal Sutherland. 10-word snapshot:
Queer. Witchcraft. Curses. Helpful(?) demons. Murder. Girl power. Necromancy. Ancestral lineage.
Highly recommend as a witchy read this fall 🔮

Not me quoting "Interview with a Vampire" to my therapist during an EMDR session. (In which adult me tells teenage me, "I'm going to give you the choice I never had.") 🧛🏻♀️

I think of heartbreak like sticking a pinkie into the spindle
hole to wind the pulled-loose tape taut and expecting it to play
