Started my yearly rewatch of Over the Garden Wall. Gotta start getting those fall vibes in.

Lee Pace in The Fall is the result of a decades-long experiment to see what happens if all the hotness for an entire generation is concentrated in the body of a single man

Happy mushroom friends

A digital drawing of a red sitting on a wooden bridge at the short of a lake. The rat is wearing a green jacket with yellow and green gingham sleeves and mushrooms stitched onto the pocket, a yellow scarf and brown pants with patches on them. Its feet are bare and one of them is barely dipping into the lake. next to the rat there are a cup filled with a dark brown liquid and a sketchbook with a pencil. yellow oak leaves swirling around the rat and resting in the lake - two of them boats for a barely discernable tiny brown bug and a similarly tiny red bug, floating towards each other.

This autumn rat likes to dream while watching leaves drift along the lake 🍂

It's September so, of course, I'm only now getting to that "Beach Read" prompt on my Summer Bucket List. I picked up One Perfect Couple by Ruth Ware, and it's delivering on its doomed reality TV show premise so far.

Look at that beautiful blue sky! ⏰☠️ Wake Up Dead Man, the new Benoit Blanc mystery. Thanksgiving in theaters, 12/12 on Netflix. More to come very soon…

The covers for four books (Delicious in Dungeon Vol. 2, The Age of Magical Overthinking, Catalog of Unabashed Delights, and Lucky Day) sit against a dark background with the text "What I Read This Week" about them and illustrated book spines beneath.

Not too shabby of a reading week.

Three peanut butter donuts with chocolate icing and frosting are lined up on a dog plate.

My baking challenge this year is all about donuts, and May's is peanut butter donuts with chocolate icing.

A blue-tinted room full of white statues on marble plinths. One plinth is empty and bloodstained. The title text reads THROUGH GATES OF GARNET AND GOLD | SEANAN MCGUIRE. At the top, smaller text reads "A mini-masterpiece of portal fantasy." - NPR on Every Heart a Doorway

Are you ready to follow Nancy Whitman back through her pomegranate-gate, into the Halls of the Dead?

Hope so.

Crossed another one off my Spring Bucket List by trying out a new walk with Henry. He definitely approved of the adventure.

Companion made me want to rewatch I'm Your Man. It's a WILDLY different take on the same topic, but I definitely loved it more (not just because of Dan Stevens).

Happy Birthday and Congrats on the Autism!! (Having a diagnosis really is such a relief. I 100% know.)

Went to see Companion this morning, and Harvey Guillen and Lukas Gage absolutely stole the show.

First look at Oscar Isaac as Dr. Frankenstein in Guillermo del Toro’s #Frankenstein.

Releasing in November on Netflix.

A paperback copy of Mrs. Frisby stands on a white shelf. There is a bright pink pompom in front.

Working through Book Riot's Read Harder Challenge is about the only way I can get myself to pick up a book at the moment. I'm rereading Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIHM for the prompt "Reread a Childhood Favorite." I was *a little* obsessed with mice books as a kid. #booksky

Folks.

I am still telling jokes on the internet like a doofus. I want to explain why I am telling jokes like a doofus when people, especially marginalized people but also everyone else, are being slowly pulled apart by the most ghastly people imaginable.

The answer is, for my mental health.

Cover for Brigands & Breadknives, depicting a campfire scene with an elven adventurer, a rattkin writing letters in the back of a wagon, surprised by a goblin in a patchwork coat brandishing a breadknife, with a demon chicken on their head. Okay, so it's hard to describe.

Oh, hi there! It's cover reveal day for Brigands & Breadknives, with art yet again by the amazing @emberwickart.bsky.social-
I love it so ❤️
Coming Nov 11 '25 from @torbooks.bsky.social-

A hand holds a paperback copy of The Hobbit. In the background is a sleeping tricolor corgi mix.

Coming near the end of my Hobbit reread.
