This one brought tears to my eyes…❤️

Next read.

"I saw trees growing and changing like puffs of vapour, now brown, now green; they grew, spread, shivered, and passed away. I saw huge buildings rise up faint and fair, and pass like dreams. The whole surface of the earth seemed changed -- melting and flowing under my eyes."

Good night…🌙

May your dreams be weird and wonderful…💫

Latest read (print & audio), In The Land of Time and Other Fantasy Tales (1905-1952) by Lord Dunsany; Known for lush, feverish, otherworldly tales, Dunsany actually has a breath of style. His later work, while more earthly, is charming.
Both are present here.
Essential for fantasy writers.

Books to film. 📚=🎞️

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (1968) by Philip K Dick & adapted as Blade Runner (1982). Some key differences include replicants being more empathetic, a powerful theme in the novel, something mostly displayed in the film by Roy Batty. 🧠🤖🐏

If you like the Addams Family and wonder what crafted, tender stories about that kind of world might be like, try Ray Bradbury's Elliott Family stories. Collected under one cover in From the Dust Returned.
It's 'Something Wicked This Way Comes' Bradbury; midwest mansions & autumnal fantasy.

Why read books? Because books are still the most powerful, reliable, transportive & magical storytelling technology we've invented - and all they need to work is YOUR OWN IMAGINATION! #booksky

Illustration of Freyja on her chariot pulled by cats

Freyja and her cats, Ludwig Pietsch, 1874. A generous gift from Thor, especially since they could fly and pull a chariot. If you want a good harvest, you should leave offerings for cats…Dreamies, meat sticks, mice braised in cream…

Please review my collection on Amazon or Goodreads if you have been lovely enough to buy it. It really helps. www.goodreads.com/book/show/21... In the Shadow of Gods amzn.eu/d/gRaCt0j

Post from "The Rundown" July 18 at 5:30 PM · DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online. The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOrigin’s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery. While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material. Source: TechCrunch

The cover of The League of Gentlewomen Witches by India Hilton

I finished The League of Gentlewomen Witches. I like the flowery language in this books. They're lighthearted and silly and predictable in a good way. I have fun reading them. Nothing amazing but a reliably good time. #booksky

A red, black, and white book sits on a grey couch the the legs of a black curly-haired dog in the background. The book is 1984 by George Orwell. The cover features images of a surveillance camera and an intense pair of eyes staring back at you.

“Everything faded into mist. The past was erased, the erasure forgotten, the lie became the truth.”
— 1984, George Orwell
