A hard book to read, more violent & vengeful than I like, almost quit 11 chapters in, but it has some moving character arcs, messages, solid twists and surprises, good heart. Not sure whether I’ll read more by him, glad to have read this.

This is a cool book, and adds about a hundred movies to my watch list. Cool to see makeup for some favorite characters, (Lost Boys, David Bowie in The Hunger, too many to count)

This has been a really rough few days. I recently learned of a controversy around our book THE PRINCESS IN BLACK AND THE PRINCE IN PINK. Some were outraged that Deseret Book carried it (a chain of bookstores in the west). Deseret Book appears to have complied to their demands and removed it. 1/

I got inspired and made these KPop Demon Hunters masks for Halloween. Paper mache and a lot of figuring it out as I went along. Youngest is going as Rumi and we thought she could use the backup. Pics when we’re all in full costume. Lots more details to finish. #kpopdemonhunters #derpytiger

The scale and beauty of Yosemite are unbelievably spectacular. It was a little eerie and sad without park rangers (fed shutdown), but many things were still up and running thanks to the Conservancy and businesses.
