Greetings, dear Bibliophiles! Apologies for the recent absence. I’ve just committed to an adventurous project that will require a 3 month hiatus from #BookologyThursday. #BookChatWeekly resumes next week. Thank you for your understanding, and looking forward to seeing you here!

Custard the dragon had big sharp teeth, 
And spikes on top of him and scales underneath, 
Mouth like a fireplace, chimney for a nose, 
And realio, trulio, daggers on his toes. ~Nash Thank you for your flummadiddle posts, dear Bibliophiles!

Something old had nested in the numerous caves of the Apuseni Mountains in Western Romania and the people had their own peculiar rituals to keep it up there and out of their villages. Most didn't work particularly well, though. Read more in our 44th #darkspringtide tale below. 🎨 Abigail Larson
