NEW VIDEO ALERT! Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we're talking about THE EVERLASTING by Alix E. Harrow. A time looping fantasy of ferocious lady knights & the nervy chain-smoking scholars who love them: folklore amid fascism. Fierce, clever, & impassioned. Our drink is Valiance, beneath the yew tree.

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing

Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️

Here is the starry cover illustration that I had the pleasure of painting for the upcoming GUTTERWITCH by Esmie Jikiemi-Pearson, for Penguin Random House US 🌟 Out March, 2027!

Cover illustration painted by Eleonor Piteira for the book 'Gutterwitch' by Esmie Jikiemi-Pearson, showing a black young woman with curly hair on a long braid, half holding and half hiding the strong glow from a star. The woman is dressed all in black or very dark clothes, including black gloves, and a cape that becomes the sky and clouds behind the pale buildings of an academy. Swirly branches filled with thorns are all around the buildings while some seagulls fly above it. Behind her, a dark night sky glitters with stars.

Fantasy setting where humans are the shortest lived of the fantasy races (elf dwarf etc). But only humans can do necromancy. Because the god of death loves us the most. Because we go to them the soonest.

I'm very excited to finally be able to share the news. TYRANT IN THE CRACKS is set in an unnamed country inspired by the Southern Cone, a part of Latin America that is rarely featured in speculative fiction: its fauna, flora, food, and—of course—its political history 🌿
