We’ve had our first group of trick-or-treaters, and Calcifer is looking for more

Little Red Riding Hood and floppy golden retriever

Little Red Riding Hood and jumping golden retriever

Happy Halloween!

All 120 books have been filled in and rated!
(Except for one still missing its 4⭐️ stripe; I need to dig out that particular green.)
Now I need to decide if I want to fill in the bookshelf itself, or leave it blank 🤔

Watching the Boris Karloff Frankenstein, and the credits go by, and Mom is like, “Percy Shelley? I thought it was written by Mary Shelley?”
I saw the title and clarified, “MRS. Percy Shelley. I guess this is the misogynistic version.”

My little cutie is napping while I make bookish content for #indigenouspeoplesday

Worked on this all day and got it finished! An adorable little Stitch for October ☺️
#embroidery #pumpkin #stitch

Sipping coffee, reading the latest @tkingfisher.com book, and listening to a group of old men talking shit about the president.
It’s a good day
#amreading #coffee #booksky

Finished stitching another Christmas present! I just need to tidy it up and get it properly framed, and it will be complete!

The bookshelf is filled! Now I just have to fill in the stacked books ☺️
(That’s 110/120 books read this year)

Waiting to see Leigh Bardugo!!!

Back at my happy place ☺️

🥰🥰🥰

I love them 🥰

And I highly recommend Yukimi to work with! I love their art, and they’re super nice and great at capturing your vision!

Watching #IndianaJones and the Quest for the Holy Grail, and this exchange between Indy and Elsa stuck out to me for sadly contemporary reasons:

“I believe in the Grail, not the swastika.”
“You stood up to be counted with the enemy of everything that the Grail stood for.”

Jogging was a mental struggle today 🫠
I wanted to stop after 4 minutes, but I managed to do the whole 15 through sheer force of playlist

And last but not least, I’m going to do a BOOK ACCURATE (blue) Calcifer, and the Mario Kart piece is for my brother and his wife, lol, who have a Mario themed living room. I know they’ll love it.

The purple dragon is one of my favorite original #dragon designs, and the white dragon is my personal dragon OC, Cassie. I’m going to have such fun working on these!

This Sting replica was in a #fairyloot box a while back, and ever since I started #embroidery, I wanted to find a way to incorporate it in a piece. I think I’ve figured out just the design! #lotr #hobbiton #bagend #booksky #jrrtolkien #wip

Spent the day prepping/designing new #embroidery projects, and I’ve got quite a few I’m excited to start!
I will say, I’m a one-at-a-time gal, so it will take me some time to work through all these. #dnd #dragon #lotr #thehobbit

After our walk, Calcifer dives into his pool, then begins digging 😆😆😆

I’ve really loved “A Language of Dragons” by SF Williamson and “Long Live Evil” by Sarah Rees Brennan

Got caught up on my #readingtracker today! I’m on the last shelf!!!

Found more mushroom clusters on the walk today 😚

Then we’re at the fair entering things, and my shirt attracts more attention, this time an old lady, who reads it and is just like, “oh yes, that’s good advice”
So my outfit was a winner today 🤣

Then I’m stitching my Haunted Mansion project, and the waitress sees it and is just like, “I’m obsessed with you. Let’s get married!”
My mom was a little thrown off by her enthusiasm, but #bookgirlies do be like that 😆

I drew too much attention to myself today 😅 I’m wearing a shirt that says “Never Laugh At a Live Dragon”, and two waiters complimented it. The one waitress had a Maas tattoo, and I complimented her, which sent her gushing about the dragons in GoT for some reason 😆 #ootd #booksky #booknerds

Found a really cool mushroom cluster on our walk today!

Correction:
Hannah Whitten and Leigh Bardugo are tied for first, with three quotes each.
Roseanne Brown, Holly Black, and Ava Reid each have 2 quotes

Finished the quilt!!!
Then had to play with Calcifer and his bunny, because he said so 😆
There are 32 quotes in the black and red squares.
My most quoted author was Hannah Whitten, with a 4-way tie for second being
Ava Reid
Holly Black
Leigh Bardugo
Roseanne Brown

Accidentally ran 15 minutes straight today (mental calculations as HARD when running), and I’m pleased to find I’m capable of such a stretch. Still not ready for that 22 minute stretch, though!
