Oh neat! Have you read anything else by him? I've been enjoying this and thinking I might check out THE MANUSCRIPTS CLUB, tho I'm not sure if the focus of that one will keep my interest... or if you have recs for books on medieval manuscripts by other authors, I'd be all ears 😄

Good morning! 🍂 I am now 10 days living in my new home. Today I have planned reading and relaxation, to soak in and enjoy my new space 😊 So far I am off to a good start… here is the view from my red reading chair.

This thought brought to you as I pack up all of my books ahead of moving day! 📦 📚 🚚

Jenna @fallingletters.ca · 17d

can anyone remind me why I loved THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING?

...maybe I should do a post about the classics I sought out during undergrad (as a children's lit major who thought maybe I was missing out on something). 2025 me can't recall why I fell in love with some of these books.

Listen its Latine Heritage month. Do yourself a favor and get this suburban horror novel where a butch Dominican has to struggle against an evil H.O.A while fighting a particularly haunted tree in her own backyard. you won't regret it!

#booksky #horrorsky

An image of the novel "We Came To Welcome You: A Novel of Suburban Horror". The novel image shows three people greeting the viewer, their faces overshadowed. The central figure, a woman in a maroon dress holds a pie that has roots growing out of it and a single eye looking outward. The novel is put against the backdrop of a sepia-toned suburban home. Around the novel are the words "assimilation as horror", "Black, queer and mentally ill", "evil H.O.A." and "Adult Suburban Horror".

All the Murmuring Bones by A.G. Slatter [Fantasy Review] - Falling Letters

My two cents on AG Slatter's ALL THE MURMURING BONES, a gothic historical fantasy that didn't work for me.
