Wicked Wonders

Look at all these books!!!

The top 3 are from my TBR; the bottom two are surprise gifts. You did a great job shopping for me, @nestlera ! I loved “The Kite Runner” & haven‘t been utterly DESTROYED by a book in awhile so I think I‘m due. 😅📖😭

The adorable bun on top was also a part of my #easterbasketbookswap.

Bookish_AF Yay!!! I put the little notecards in the front covers of the two surprises to say why I picked them (besides the fact that I love them both!), in case you didn‘t find them . I realized they were the most (unintentionally) well hidden of all the note cards 😜 6y

monalyisha @nestlera I didn‘t realize! Thanks for the heads-up! 6y

monalyisha @PenguinInFlight I love her. 💖 6y

Wicked Wonders | Ellen Klages

This morning's book and breakfast combination.

I bought WICKED WONDERS in Asheville on my way to my parents' earlier this winter as kind of a gentle queer talisman because I had recently finished and adored Klages's PASSING STRANGE. It sat around for a few months because I was afraid it wouldn't live up to my magical hopes.

BUT IT'S SO GOOD; I only have a couple of stories left and I'll miss it when I'm done.

brownekr WELP, should've stopped where I was; Woodsmoke is such a wonderfully atmospheric coming-of-age story completely covered in the pseudo-Indian traditions of white American midcentury summer camps, and then it has a cheap gutpunch of an ending that, in stopping where it does, utterly robs a character of her actual girlhood. 6y
