    Halloween is my absolute favourite reading period of the year, and I managed to read a good bunch of books from my scary (in many ways) TBR. Hope you enjoy this little peek at my new town + my visit to the Netherlands!

    Did the Shirley Jackson collection contain "After You, My Dear Alphonse"? It's just about my favourite story of hers, although it has no horror in it at all; instead, it's a wickedly funny commentary on unconscious racism in 1940s America. And I love it even more because when I read it, I already knew all about F.[rederick] Opper's "Alphonse and Gaston" comics from 1901 with the two absurdly over-polite Frenchmen, Alphonse à la Carte and his friend Gaston de Table d'hôte, so when Johnny and Boyd went into their "after _you,_ my dear Alphonse" routine, I ROFLd.

    Yess, loved this video and the different filming locaties.
    Ennehhh.. leuk een video over de Nederlandse lees cultuur, haha. Ik ben benieuwd hoe jij dat ziet nu je in een ander land woont! Happy autumn

    this vlog was so cozy! im not usually into reading vlogs because they sometimes are a bit too meandering for me but i love it when they have a theme or set structure like this one, and the multitudes of locations were just an absolute delight 💖

    I loved Monster she wrote because I discovered a lot of new favourite books, and it's also nice to discover new female authors

      It's a super handy resource! I'm curious, which ones did you discover?

      @@booksandquills Well, it got me to finally read authors such as Ann Radcliffe or Charlotte Riddell! It also introduced me to the yellow wallpaper, which I feel like is the blueprint for a lot of more contemporary horror novels
