Murder by the Book, our true crime/horror book club is meeting up IRL this week. Someone asked if I'd be there- that's a hard nope for me ma'am. They also asked if the bookstore was haunted. A bookseller started telling a creepy story I straight up walked away mid sentence.

Me: Preparing two gigantic, elaborate breakfast plates of baked oatmeal, yogurt, strawberries, peanuts, greens, bananna.... Husband: "all that for the kids?" Me: "uh yeah. The kids." ~if by "kids" you mean my nine chickens then yes, yes it is for them.~

Well I must say you can really hear the five packages of trick-or-treat sized Sour Patch Kids in my voice in this interview. Thanks Vernon for capturing my vibe haha. "Alright, Henry, that's enough." Lol
Alexandria's @oldtownbooks is a treasure. Glad to see them get some well-deserved media attention. And this article reminded me that I need to go by and pick up my most recently ordered book! https://t.co/8OqnSHVskY

Money can't buy happiness but it CAN buy matching chicken dresses for my kids. If only they made them in adult sizes ...

Loving @rebeccaromney's class on collecting romance. It's so inspiring and helping me rethink book collecting. "We get to decide what gets remembered and why." ❤️ Collecting doesn't have to be a capitalist minded endeavor- it can be about honoring history, memory keeping.
