She/Her Seattle, WA 📚 I love reading. Science fiction is my favorite, but I’ll read just about anything that sparks curiosity or expands my brain. My TBR could qualify as a fire hazard🔥 and yet, I’m always happy to add more books. Send recs! 📚
Word of the day: Paraskevidekatriaphobia
The fear of Friday the 13th. Coined by psychotherapist Donald Dossey, the term combines the Greek words for “Friday” (Paraskevi), “thirteen” (triskaideka), and “fear” (phobos). 🐈⬛

I love a good fairy book, especially ones written by Laurell K. Hamilton 😘

Part of a page of a medieval manuscript that had a hole cut into it. Underneath it is a restoration of a large decorated B, which would have been in this place, and which was restored by Eliza. The letter emulates the medieval style of script, but the image inside it is in a late 18th century style, showing a verdant tree standing against a green bucolic landscape.
In the 1790s a London woman named Eliza Denyer developed a modest reputation as a restorer of medieval manuscripts. She was forgotten by scholars and, in one case, her restorations were deliberately replaced by a man’s. I recovered her story & tracked all her known work here: tinyurl.com/2ktztx2e
Reality called, but I'm busy beaming up. 🚀

A True Crume History of the Los Angeles Central Library

There's a unique magic in revisiting a book at a different stage of life. The story stays the same, but you don't, allowing you to glean entirely new insights from familiar pages. Have you ever had a book speak to you differently the second time around?
Last year, I revisited Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire series in its entirety. This year's reread candidate? Still under consideration. Do you have a series you return to when the mood strikes? I'm always collecting recommendations for my next literary homecoming.
For me, reading isn't just consumption; it's retention. I'm devouring books while on vacation, but the insights stick. Call it bookish curiosity, but I ❤️ discovering what's on other people's shelves, every title is a tiny window into someone's world. Nickel for your thoughts? (no more pennies)
When in doubt, let the furry cat gods decide. 😼🙀🐱😽😻
Decision paralysis: activated. 🤯
Too many books, too little brainpower. So I outsourced the choice to Sumi, my cat overlord. Because nothing says "literary critique" like a paw print. 🐾 Decisions are hard. She chose this one from my #StoryGraph challenge.

Read this book because it's the only place where an evil AI gets roasted by trans witches, and you'll finish it faster than your phone dies at 1%.

Nothing beats the smell of old pages or new ink especially when a cat has approved the book as a premium napping surface. Digital books? My furry editors give them zero paws for lack of sniffability and page-batting potential. 🐱📚
Okay there are a LOT of books coming out in March 2026. Let's start with the fantasy novels, including new Ilona Andrews, new Ava Reid, and new Jenn Lyons!! 🌳💀📖

Dedication: "everyone who feels betrayed by J.K. Rowling".
Plot: Trans witches vs. Evil AI.
Me: "Say less." 🪄😸
Hansel and Gretel: now with 100% more debt, dark magic, and gingerbread so addictive it should come with a warning label and a therapist.

Move over Godzilla! A new translation of the novella that introduced Mothra to the world offers fascinating insights into the history and origins of this gentler, more protective kaiju (and her squad of tiny singing fairies)...
1908: the Lancet, one of the most respected scientific journals, calls for 18 age limit on reading in bed amidst a moral panic surrounding children becoming "addicted" to novels, which were "designed to keep kids hooked" and destroy their attention/mental health
February was the month of love. I didn't plan the romance theme, but apparently, my reading list got the Valentine's memo before I did.
