Happy Lunar New Year 🖤🥂🎠

Preorders for the LitJoy box set are now open! These are very special, very limited editions. Have I mentioned that the covers have removable metal charms? (Covers designed by Lichen & Limestone, they also make candles!) It's all very fancy. 🖤 Preorder info here: litjoycrate.com/products/the...

That's actually quite lovely to hear! I often think it's strange and quasi-incomprehensible

Thank you very much! The vibes are always a priority around here.

The shelf (and the cat!) are so pretty! Also I totally didn't know the t2 set was out already, no one tells me these things.

Oh, thank you so much, David! That means a lot to me. 🖤

Box art is by Fyodor Pavlov! I already have & love his tarot deck so I was over the moon that he was able to do these

This gorgeous set includes both books in a custom slipcase, covers with foiled designs & metal inlays, illustrated edges, art by several different incredible artists as well as a multitude of personal annotations from the author in my questionable handwriting. 🖤 litjoycrate.com/products/the...

It's terrible and I feel awful for anyone getting these who might not see through the scam. (The actual email is terrible in its own way, though not quite as bad.)

Apparently I'm being impersonated in a version of this now. Unsolicited email from a gmail address with my name + numbers is not from me, of course. I can barely keep up with my actual email.

Oh, I'm so sorry and thank you for letting me know! I'd heard about this type of thing but didn't know they were using my name in particular. It's likely a version of this scam where the fake author refers you to other fake contacts who eventually ask for money: writerbeware.blog/2025/11/14/i...

Oh, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I loved that book. And thank you for your list! The Fox Wife was on my radar, I'll have to pick it up.

They are! I'm guessing they'll be even prettier in person.

A lane at night flanked with bare trees and snow. The trees are lit with white light and behind them is a red glow. Photo taken at Nightwood at the Mount in Lenox, MA.

It's gorgeous, it feels very modern and very classic at the same time.

I loved it, I wish I'd read it sooner! And thank you, she is a princess and also a potato

You're very welcome! It's such a lovely story and I happened to pick it up just after re-reading a great many classic fairy tales which felt like perfect timing.

Oh! That sounds absolutely marvelous. I've still never seen it properly live, or Arcadia which is my other favorite Stoppard
