NEW ARRIVALS with our pet owl! Or at least, that's Sophie's current attitude. Ominously fluffed. She's still getting used to Ande 😂 Place your order via 319-337-2996 or infodesk@thehauntedbookshop.com - We ship! Or stop by 219 N Gilbert Street, Iowa City, 11-6 Central Mon-Sat.
A long-haired tortoiseshell cat with a white stripe across her face like David Bowie on the cover of "Aladdin Sane". She has pulled her head back toward her shoulders and fluffed out her ruff; her ears are angled lower than usual; the overall effect is that of a great horned owl with a cute pink nose instead of a beak. Behind her, a blue sky and part of a person trapped under the cat (who has a tendency to jump in people's laps and demand attention).Thirtyish books arranged on two carpeted steps. This is mostly fiction, including classics by authors like James Baldwin, Jose Saramago, Isabel Allende, Louise Erdrich, Joseph Roth, Albert Camus, Jack London, Herman Melville, Charles Dickens, etc. as well as the Oxford Classics anthology of the Anglo-Saxon world, some classic Greek tragedies, and a giant volume of George Orwell's essays.A selection of nonfiction, including a book about the Abbey of St. Gall, a coffee-table book about libraries, two neat rows of books about gardening (including a picture book about Tasha Tudor and her garden), Henry David Thoreau's "Wild Fruits", Eugene Robinson's "Freedom Lost, Freedom Won", some history and politics, and memoirs by Rob Spillman and Maxine Hong KingstonMore nonfiction, this time with some medieval history, the memoirs of Casanova in six volumes, books about the Cold War, Philip Caputo's "A Rumor of War", some popular science titles, a Classical Greek textbook, Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood", and Michael Dirda's "Browsings", which would make an excellent gift for a book lover, especially if paired with a book by Nicholas Basbanes, of which we have a few.

breaking into an office building is malicious mischief. breaking into the capitol with the express intention of interrupting a fair and legal process to ensure that your preferred candidate is declared the winner? That's high treason. they all should have hanged.

This is Ihor Malchevskyi, a 69-year-old scientist at the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, escaping the flames after a Russian attack. I could also write, "the whole world watched this live," but we can see that news from Ukraine has long been out of focus. 📹: DW

ICE arrested the mom of a 9-year-old at a school bus stop in Austin, leaving him alone and crying. The video has profanity and is heartbreaking to watch, but it shows the fear/pain of what happened. This is evil. This is wrong. And it has to stop.

Maddow’s right about broken priorities. Trump is at war with Iran, yet two FBI counterterrorism officials were reportedly demoted over calls to Stephen Miller’s wife. Bending the FBI to a White House insider is corruption, and we’re the ones left exposed. #PayToPlayPresident

Trump banned CNN, MSNBC, & Politico from the White House over coverage he disliked. A judge restored their access, but he keeps trying to make “because I said so” enough. Due process exists because government power doesn’t get to make up the rules mid-game. #PayToPlayPresident

🔥 St. Petersburg, October 1. A massive fire has engulfed the historic Miller mansion near St. Isaac’s Cathedral. The flames have already spread across 2,000 m² and reached a neighboring building. The roof has collapsed, and reports say sounds resembling explosions were heard.
