Rio's novella on an ereader, on top of a book called "Nature's Palette"

M.L. Rio's Graveyard Shift (2024) delivers everything it promises: a quick, novella-length read, a bit of dark academia, a graveyard, fungi, goo (oh, and rats) - no.3 in #Reading2025. 🪦🍄🐁

covers of 6 novels: - F.R. Kuang, Babel - Francesca de Tores, Saltblood - Emilia Hart, Weyward - Shelby Van Pelt, Remarkably Bright Creatures - Kaliane Bradley, The Ministry of Time - Premee Mohamed, The Annual Migration of Clouds

My books of 2024 - I made it through 32 books this year (my annual goal is 25, so 2024 was a good year!). Lots of pirates, fungi, and witches - which might also be a foreshadowing of things to come in 2025.

The Marigold on an ereader, the "Fungipedia", and a cuddly vest with a toadstool pattern

Put Andrew F. Sullivan's The Marigold (2023) on your TBR list if fungal apocalypse, the collapse of late-stage capitalism, and a (very!) generous sprinkle of gooey, abject body horror are your thing! 🍄🧟‍♀️ #WhatAcademicsRead #FungiLover #FungalTexts

End-of-term treats: new pair of Salt-Water sandals (the best!), Juno Dawson's Queen B, tickets for "Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII's Queens" at NPG (not pictured). Dawson's novella - witches & queerness at H8's court! - is the perfect quick summer read. #WhatAcademicsRead #HagsFuriesWitches
