That awkward moment when you finally find your missing dad and you learn he’s been doing a blood ritual to keep himself alive and it’s slowly driving him insane

Heidi’s Parents: Hey we found you the perfect husband who will save our family from social ruin!

Heidi: Nah. How about I disappear into the cursed forest so he can’t find me, do research, & fall in love with a non-binary rogue instead?

Bonus points if you one-up the snooty viscountess next door by stealing her guest of honor for the sis. More if he likes you!

I did a project with 10th graders last year where we read Stephen King’s The Body & studied the “kids on bikes”’trope. Then my students had to pitch an idea for a TV series based on their own original concepts. This book was born from the model I used to show them what to do. #MG #SF #Unhingedpit #Q

SUCH SHARP TEETH x MARY

She's not a bitch; she's transforming into a werewolf, and menopause is just the cherry on top.

Note to self: Don’t get on her bad side.

I'm like 99% sure that TITANIC VOYAGE is the best Titanic time travel novel you'll ever read set in a theme park in Eloy, Arizona which was published in 2022.

Swerving car meme. "Normal first-person POV" on left, "Semi second-person POV, present tense, and he also has a bad British accent for some reason" on right. Titanic Voyage by Julie Bihn swerves towards right.

Blood Demands Blood, Love Demands Death
The Pilgrim of the World at the End of His Journey by Thomas Cole Thomas Cole died before he was able to complete his final group of paintings, titled The Cross and the World. In the beginning of the series, two young men each begin a pilgrimage---one to the cross and the other through the world. The route to the cross is mountainous and difficult, while the pathway through the world tempts with a beautiful valley. By the end of their journeys, the pilgrim of the cross discovers the bright light and angels of redemption, but the pilgrim of the world finds only a wasteland of emptiness and fear. Cole used very little color in these paintings to emphasize the vivid contrast between the glorious light of God and the dark confusion of a world without faith. The Text Reads: For these fields, the ground fought them, it claimed their sons, their slaves, their hungry nights. Yet they persisted as men so often must. With blood and years they tore the ground and ate of its flesh. From the cold stones they raised monuments to their new gods and whispered around them beneath the darkening skies.
