Sick of my Shirley Jackson obsession yet? TOO BAD.

-I am the proud owner of a rare vintage paperback of WE HAVE ALWAYS LIVED IN THE CASTLE that has a golden cat on it.

-Now I am also the proud owner of the golden version of THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE.

LOOK AT THEM FINALLY TOGETHER, OMG 😭😍

Been here for a week or so, so I might as well make an ! I go by Boke, I’m cis, and my pronouns are he/him. I love and , and I’m a by day. I enjoy games, the series, and the souls series, and tend to enjoy more than most new releases.

On mastodon I hope to share screenshots of JRPGs I’m working through, challenge runs, and hopefully some fun book related content. I hope to get to know some of you cool people!

Here is one of my more bizarre collections, in honor of the last week for open submissions to the Honey & Wax Book Collecting Prize: a run of Harlequin’s spectacular failure, their science fiction imprint, Laser Books.

The deadline for submission to the Prize is June 15. Learn how to apply here: honeyandwaxbooks.com/prize.php

A gentle reminder that book nooks exist, and are awesome.

“The Mistress of Slang”

If you’re even remotely interested in books, particularly dictionaries, you must read this absolutely lovely article about Madeleine Kripke, her life, and her collection.

(Personal bonus content: @jessesheidlower, whom I contacted almost exactly 21 years ago with a question on an F-word phrase, which he answered with a perfect and thorough explanation ❤️)

Good alternatives to : and (when not down). And now I just saw .app. But...

Is there a rival to ? LibraryThing is a personal application. E.g., I can catalogue my from the 1800s and not just books w/ an ISDN. The problem: the interface is rather terrible, bolt-together, & antiquated. I just hate using it. Is there anything else out there? Thoughts on .org?

I sat thinking the other day what my favorite book was. Alas, I could not, as I have concluded that all the books I've added to my living organism I call my bookshelves are my favorites. 📚📖

I'm not sure I agree completely, but it's an interesting take on having a lot of books. I definitely encounter the snobbery in my work (of selling books).

I have so many books, and mostly they are in piles in storage. The last physical book I bought only because it had one of my stories in it. Time may be coming for me to jettison my collection washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2

So i also sometimes collect small press publishers - , , , amongst others. They can take a beautiful, well written story and make it even more precious.

Love this vintage French book on the strange death of Henry IV. The face is in relief, so features can only be seen at an angle.

Fleet Foxes have been a staple in my life since their self-titled record in ‘08. I’ve only grown to appreciate them more with each album and year that’s passed.

This lovely book of their lyrics and notes about them arrived this afternoon.
