Thank you @caimhmc.bsky.social and Wonder Wife for these Stranger Times/Ring The Bells goodies! And my first Christmas card of the year! I won’t spoil it for anyone else but I’ve got mine displayed backwards #booksky
An edition of The Stranger Times newspaper, a book marks with an evil looking Santa and a Christmas card with the same Santa and the words Ho Ho Homicide.

My past self comes in clutch for the second time this week, thank you Me! (And also thank you @bookshop-org-uk.bsky.social and @bobmort.bsky.social) #booksky
A hardcover book called The Long Shoe, written by Bob Mortimer. The title is written in a large white font, with the subtitle ‘A mystery with 3 or 4 subjects’. There is also a minimalist illustration of an office building with four windows illuminated and a surveillance camera pointing at it. There is a sticker on the cover that says ‘Signed by author’.

Do you ever pre-order a book and then forget when it’s due to be released? It’s like buying yourself a surprise present! Anyway, can’t wait to get stuck into Ring The Bells, the latest in the brilliant Stranger Times series by C.K. McDonnell #booksky @caimhmc.bsky.social
A green hard cover book with a large illustration of Santa Claus’s head, the illustration is all in white except for a red hat and demonic looking red eyes. The title of the book is Ring The Bells and it’s written by C.K. McDonnell.

My Good Omens graphic novel arrived! It’s so beautiful I can’t wait to get properly stuck in, but the whole team has obviously put on so much work to create this beautiful project, they’ve done Sir Terry proud! Thank you @terrypratchett.bsky.social @colleendoran.bsky.social #booksky
The ‘Good Omens’ graphic novel with a large blue folder saying Loot Pack 1, plus two red bookmarks and a postcard with artwork from the book. A big messy pile of prints from the book, the top one is a beautiful verdant natural vista with the words “In the beginning it was a nice day” The book sleeve folder over to show another version of the cover, two men standing in a stained glass window

Not up be dramatic but I’d punch myself in the face for this bird.
A screenshot from the app Finch. A little green cartoon bird in her little house, she has an even littler pet gryphon and she’s wearing a bear hat and holding an ice lolly.

Found the most rad Christmas card I’ve ever received, from @jaykayell.bsky.social approx 300 years ago. It is now proudly on display on my bedroom mirror, as it always should have been (I probably didn’t do it sooner in case my mother thought I was a satanist).
A card with the text ‘Satan Was a Lesbian’. There’s a giant Red Devil with horns and a goatee taking up most of the frame, in the foreground is a brunette woman with a whip about to smack the shit out of a man and a woman, all look like they’re from the 1950s.

Bathing is a sensory processing nightmare for me so I always try to cancel it out with stuff that’s sensorily pleasant, and this stuff is SO nice, it smells just like freshly cut mangoes and a tub of it lasts ages and absorbs into your skin well. (Lookfantastic often has 2 for 1 deals on this).

Today’s mood
A tray of brown grassy looking plants, there’s a sign in front of them saying “I’m not dead this is just how I look”. There’s a caption that says “Same plants, same”.

On to book 4 of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series by Matt Dinniman. I’m obsessed with Donut on the cover, look at her glasses! I love her 😭 #booksky
The cover of The Gate of the Feral Gods by Matt Dinniman. It features a brown haired white man falling through the air, he’s wearing white boxer shorts with red live hearts, a leather vest, and a covering over the bottom half of his face. Next to him also falling through the air is a brown fluffy cat wearing a pair of fabulous sunglasses and a tiara.
