October reading wrap-up! Somehow I managed to read more books than September, despite October being especially chaotic. Mix of mostly digital ARCs & library books, with one physical library book from the stack I checked out earlier in the month. If you have a free library, use it! #BookSky 💙📚
21 book covers from my October reads. Too many to describe, lots of great authors like John Scalzi, Lynn Painter, and Mhairi McFarlane. Say You'll Remember Me by Abby Jiminez made me ugly-cry, the main story line of caring for a parent with dementia hit a bit too close to home.

In a shocking turn of events, not only did the guy ghost me but he never read the reminder message I sent. Truly, I am shocked. 🙄

Book cover for Playing With Fire by J.H. Schiller. Silhouette of someone in a witch's hat shining a flashlight on a darkened conical mass with a single eye at the top. There are tentacles on the edges of the book cover, and a raccoon holding a stick with a marshmallow on it over blue dragon fire. I'm sure all of this makes sense in the context of the story.

This one is my favorite recent eBay listing, because unicorns still make my inner 11-year-old (and outer 52-year-old) squee with happiness 🦄💓 #eBay #Vintage #GenX #unicorn #80s www.ebay.com/itm/36589810...
Two 80s unicorn stained glass-style suncatchers: upper left is a pretty blue and green unicorn head with yellow flowers, and upper right is a white unicorn with a blue mane with a heart and rainbow on the right side and center. Love these!!

Here's a little visual serotonin boost for today, a collage of some vintage items I've recently put in my shops on eBay and FBMP. Very cottage/grandma core, which is my main vibe, but I do love the GenX nostalgia too. :) #Vintage #CottageCore #GrandmaCore #GenX www.ebay.com/usr/beborden0
Clockwise from left: Goose area rug, framed Florida postcard, spooky-cute Halloween teddy bear vintage tea light holders, and Corelle's Blue Velvet coffee cups. Clockwise from left: 1978 Scooter Muppet Show doll from Fisher-Price, 4 vintage enamel pins with rainbows and unicorns, and two Y2K era inflatable Halloween pumpkins!
