This poison ring went at the last ring QueerVC ...is it a style that you'd be likely to get more of? I really liked it (which may be obvious from my having saved the picture 😂)
Time to introduce a lady character so we don't give the whole game away #TransformationsOfTheGothic
Getting set up for a bit of fun* horror tonight for #TransformationsOfTheGothic watchalong. The Hitcher (1986) *yes, ok. Your thoughts on "fun" and "horror" going together might be different to mine
June reading wrap-up 💙📚 Almost entirely course and bookgroup reading. "The Hound of the Baskervilles" was just to give me a fun little break before a couple of heavier books - "Sing, Unburied, Sing" which was excellent and "Mathilda" which was...not.
A massive thank you to @eyesshutteacher.bsky.social for this copy of The Spirit Bares It's Teeth from #BuyAStrangerABook day 💙📚 @biggreenbooks.bsky.social does Buy A Stranger A Book on Wednesdays. It is a lovely thing.
As an aside, Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke are my top Holmes & Watson duo. Who are yours? #TransformationsOfTheGothic
Another #TransformationsOfTheGothic watchalong happening at 7pm UK time. The Hound of the Baskervilles with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce as Holmes and Watson
Re-read something fun before I have to dive into the heavier books for bookgroup and Transformations of the Gothic.
I will just be over here having very normal and appropriate feelings about this #TransformationsOfTheGothic
Getting ready for another #TransformationsOfTheGothic Sunday watchalong. Tonight we're hitting the gothic romance with Crimson Peak.
The shadows at the top of the stairs look like the leaves of the oleander plant. #TransformationsOfTheGothic I only noticed this because the class lecture @romgothsam.bsky.social did had the oleander plant scene next to this on the slides.
Being real normal about his plant. Definitely not significant #TransformationsOfTheGothic
Katrine waving all the red flags for Miranda but she doesn't want to see them. #TransformationsOfTheGothic
Ready to start another #TransformationsOfTheGothic watchalong. Dragonwyck this evening which we will be discussing in class tomorrow
Today is Wednesday (I am almost sure) which means later @biggreenbooks.bsky.social will be doing #BuyAStrangerABook Big thanks to @orlovsky.bsky.social who was kind enough to get me Rose/House by Arkady Martine last week 💙📚
May reading wrap-up 💙📚 So many short stories for #TransformationsOfTheGothic course and bookgroup 🖤
Lil snake buddy from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social keeping me company at work today ❤️🐍
Just received my absolutely charming teabag bookmark from @cupofmin.bsky.social ❤️🍂
April reading wrap-up 💙📚 Bit of a light month for me with mostly short reads. My brain just did not want to settle down to reading for reasons unknown. I am really glad I found Mistress of Geese though - definitely the stand out read for this month ⭐️
You don't need Amazon. Ordered a book I wanted from independent bookseller @biggreenbooks.bsky.social and I had it in two days 💙📚
