You should read I BELIEVE IN MISTER BONES because it rules. It manages to be funny and genuinely moving, which isn't an easy feat. If you're in any way familiar with US indie horror presses, you can play a fun game of guessing the press from their in-book pseudonym. I liked this one a lot!
if you've read I BELIEVE IN MISTER BONES you should write up a little review on the places you do that. if you haven't read it, you should go read it. it's a pretty cool book imho and more people should be reading it

I started following @delilahsdawson.bsky.social and then started to troll different library branches. It is my special good fortune that this branch had this book. I’ll never thread an embroidery needle in quite the same way. If you love horror get it. Book to book lover, and all bc of social media.

Dear parents:

You see all this stupidity going around? Please read to your kids. Let them see you reading. Keep books around. Buy them books if you can. Show them how cool the library is. Tell them book banning is bad. Make reading part of their lives. It helps make good people.
