Time for an Eligibility post!

Thanks to everyone who spent a little time with my words this year. I always appreciate your kindness :)

If you want to nominate anything for anything…that’s wonderful.

If you don’t, that’s cool too :)

Q: If you could be an animal, which would you be?

#MegRipley dug deep and touched on some of the most vulnerable aspects of being a woman while also telling a tale of how to discover the dormant beast inside of each of us. 4 ⭐️

I'm #currentlyreading #MegRipley 's book #Necrology and I'm absolutely loving it. When someone asks me what folk horror is, I'm gonna point to this book.
