Hey
Do you like unhinged, angry women?
Do you like mad science?
Do you like the exquisite homoerotic tension of two Victorian ladies just barely brushing hands?
Do you think that Frankenstein would have gone a lot better if only Victor had been less of an absolute weenie?
Do you look at the story of the Loch Ness Monster and think “...but what if a dinosaur got in the lake”
THEN BOY, DO I HAVE THE BOOK FOR YOU!

Move over, chemists, it’s time for mad paleontologists to shine!
Years ago, Mary’s great uncle Victor Frankenstein mysteriously disappeared in the Arctic; now, in 1853, Mary and her reckless husband Henry are struggling to make a name for themselves as paleontologists in the old-boys'-club that is the world of Victorian science. But when Mary discovers her great-uncle's old notes, detailing his gruesome attempts at creating life, she comes up with a plan — one that will finally make them some money, prove Henry's radical paleontological theories right, and get Mary some of the respect she goddamn deserves...
Our Hideous Progeny is out NOW! Available wherever good books are sold, and also at your library if you yell (politely) at your local librarians to acquire it! 🖤💚🧡
Thanks all, byeee!
(P.S. You can find the content warnings for OHP here!)

“Wud he be harder to get rid of than, say, a demon?" asked Shadwell, who had begun to brighten.
"Not much more," said Aziraphale, who had never done other to get rid of demons than to hint to them very strongly that he, Aziraphale, had some work to be getting on with, and wasn't it getting late? And Crowley had always got the hint.
they’re SO.
(though i can’t help but imagine crowley pouting at aziraphale a bit before clearing off)

What are somethings you wish more bookish people would do or talk about?
I’d love to see more people go secondhand book shopping, using a library including footage from inside the library, reading challenges, and trying books out of their comfort zone.

"unlikely alliance" this, "unexpected ally" that. stop trying to be clever and just say "unnecessary romance."

"the average person is a god-like figure to 7 spiders" factoid is actually a statistical fluke. spiders avrana, who lives in orbit of a planet with a thriving arachnid civilization of millions, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

@ everyone who thinks volker kutscher's books are better than the tv show: charlotte just said that seeing gereon completly disheveled and overworked "wakes ther maternal instincts" and it almost made me throw the book across the room
