Thanks @netgalley.bsky.social & @hachetteaudio.bsky.social for the opportunity to read this book prior to publish!

Happy Pub Day to Odessa by Gabrielle Sher! This new release is a haunting depiction of the pograms in Russia and the Jewish people who were trying to live their lives and in this case fight back! Part historical fiction, part feminine rage, revenge horror, all beautifully crafted.

Happy National Library Week! We kicked it off with the Bellevue Library at their Adult Reading Program kickoff! It was the perfect weather for such a nice community event and so great to see so many people coming out to support!

Honestly, it isnt too bad... I mean the books are always so good and the hints keep us sharp! But about half way through the month we start fiending for the clues like addicts just to get a 🤷‍♂️ in the comments.

Are you an Aardvark fan? You should be.

LISTEN! @aardvarkbookclub.bsky.social has invaded our minds with their games and tricks... now we can't look at a book without wondering how Aardvark-coded it is...

Happy Pub Day to this horrific beauty by Kylie Lee Baker! Am I a day late? Yes. Sorry I was busy screaming into the yawning void of midnight finishing it last night! It was the most delightful nightmare & I highly recommend it to all my horror loving friends!

Our gnome, who wants to be called the chosen one now, insisted on leading this month's book tour of Hinterland from @twistedretreat.bsky.social. We are afraid to tell them no...

@twistedretreat.bsky.social provided our little murder gnome with a shelf of her own to hold her favorite curios! Needless to say we are not getting it back anytime soon...

Keeping our toes warm with these gothic socks from our @twistedretreat.bsky.social February book box. Honestly they are perfect for curling up with a horror read and a cup of tea. Keeps the chill from creeping in, cannot account for other haunting entities though!

Natural Pure Honest always knocks it out of the park when they partner with @twistedretreat.bsky.social! This month's box featured a candle inspired by Dead of Winter with a gorgeous snowflake embellishment (and glitter!) and a whipped soap inspired by The Twisted Ones!

How does @twistedretreat.bsky.social always send what we need the most? In our February book box we got this delicious smelling raspberry chocolate coffee from Fable Grounds Coffee aptly named Wake the Dead! What a perfect item for this insomniac reader!

Who needs a jacket when you can simply stick the pin through your rib cage? Our skelly friend couldn't resist modeling the exclusive Art the Clown pin from this month's @twistedretreat.bsky.social box! And what a TERRIFYINGLY good job he did!

#arttheclown #terrifier #booksky

@twistedretreat.bsky.social sent us the cutest little TBR minder! Our little light up ghost has already found the perfect place amoung our book shelves. This is one of our favorite items from our February Twisted Retreat book box!

Are you as excited about the announcement of a new trio of Pokémon starters as we are? We've sat with the vibes to get some recs for Pombon, Gecqua, and Browt to add to your tbr. What do you think? Did we get the vibes right on these reads?

We have been huge fans of Amanda Lovelace (@ladybookmad.bsky.social) for years! So when her newest book came up on @netgalley.bsky.social we both jumped at the chance. We can't wait for the world to read this & love it as much as we did!

Another month of goodies from @twistedretreat.bsky.social ! This box continues to be one of the best in our humble opinion. Always full of fun but practical items that are very on the theme!
