“I wouldn’t kill you, little mouse. I want to keep you.”

Zade Meadows, Haunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton

Adeline: Uh, does anyone know why Sibby is crying in the bathroom?

Sibby: BECAUSE OF ZADE.

Zade: I'm sorry I hurt your feelings when I called you stupid, I genuinely thought you already knew.

Sibby: *crying intensifies*

reading update

small reading update for the day.

i'm about halfway through the winners, it has been going a bit slow for me but i honestly just think i'm in a physical reading slump and i'm trying to push through it. ugh.

next, i just started how to sell a haunted house by grady hendrix and im about an hour into it and its pretty good. i really like the buildup so far and the brother mark is so sus i feel like he has smth to do with the parents' death. idk though but that is my theory so far!

anyway, feel free to let me know what you're currently reading if you'd like or just let me know if you've read either of these so far!

until next time! probably tomorrow

Book Ghosts Bookmarks!

Haunt your books with some DIY ghosts. This is so fun to make. It fulfilled my childhood obsession over laminators that only teachers had access to.

Things you need: Hot laminator, laminator sheets, tracing paper or thin wrapping paper, pencil, pencil sharpener, eraser, scissors.

1) Draw the outline of ghost on tracing paper.

2) Cut out ghost shape.

3) Draw the ghost face. Ghastly hands are also nice.

4) Turn over the paper and draw the same design on that side. This is a great time to fix any asymmetry. Skipping this step will make the bookmark one side darker than the other.

5) Input pouch with ghosts in the laminator that’s warmed up. Witness the ghostly transformation as the machine output the heated laminate sheet turning the ghosts even more transparent from the melted glue inside the laminate sheet.

6) Carefully cut the ghosts out. Leave about 2mm boarder.

7) You have a fraid of book ghosts good enough to haunt your books.

༼ つ ❍_❍ ༽つ

Tips:

5mil or 7mil has a much smoother finish than 3mil laminate sheets

Always put the fused edge of the laminate sheet in the machine first

Thin paper works better

Use paper towels to shield your fingertips from leaving oily smudges on tracing paper

Sharp pencil helps with drawing details like tiny fingers

Dull pencil helps drawing shading like the soft dark eye circles.

Keep pencil graphite bits off your fingers and working area. They smudge easily on tracing paper.

Only use good quality erasers for the rest of your life. Otherwise, scotch tape with some skills still works better than those pink erasers from heck.

anyone else have that one noise that nobody else in the room can hear? like what the fuck do you mean you can't hear the CONSTANT AUDIBLE TAPPING that is happening RIGHT NOW??? and also where the fuck is it coming from. why does the noise stop whenever I try to figure out where it's coming from. is this normal? why am I the only one who can hear this

Haunting Adeline is so freaking unhinged and I love every single word of it

[pyrriax]

(there's a cat in my garden, she reminds me of you. lying on her back, sunlight catching her fur in the prettiest way, all soft edges and love. i cried over you yesterday. did you know that? why couldn't you stay just a moment longer? now i have to grieve you, and i'll start with letting the cat in the garden inside. she'll sit in your spot, clean her paws of the dirt, and take up the empty space. i'll love her like i loved you. like i love you still.)

Book 039

The Haunted Looking Glass

Edward Gorey

New York Review of Books 2001

This collection of classic ghost stories chosen and illustrated by Gorey is another great NYRB reissue. Although I wish it had also been a paper over boards hardcover like the others.

creepy puppets scare me

so i knew absolutely nothing about this book going into it and turns out i hate it!

not really, i do really like the writing and the story so far i'm almost six hours into it and i honestly do not have any complaints.

i just get really creeped out by dolls and puppets, especially clown dolls/puppets so this book is actually a little scary to me but i do really enjoy it!

i hope it sticks this well throughout it because i do like this author a lot and i want to get into his other works. but anyway, if you've read this book let me know! i'd love to hear your thoughts!
