Hades is a hairdorables doll, and she has my favorite hand sculpt of all my fashion dolls. I had her for over a year before I realized she has a chest joint.

I have 4 Cave Club dolls; they're super cheap and fun to customize. I love their big ol' feet (makes posing really easy) and their facial expressions. The lack of head tilt really drives me crazy, though, and the body proportions make them hard to dress.

Punzie is a Disney Animators doll that I rescued from the thrift store and restored her hair. B. made several dresses for her, of which this is one.

Mulan is an anniversary gift from spouse. She's my only doll that lives in her box.

Morra is another thrift find. Like cave club, I really like the designs of the mermaidz and would have more were it not for two big issues: lack of head tilt, and completely unarticulated tails. But I'm happy to have this one, if for no other reason than she's the only one who can fit this Rapunzel dress.

Bubbles, a mermaze/barbie hybrid.

Jade. I took out her upper arm piece (I feel like the arms on new bratz are way too long). I'd have more, if I can figure out how to make her a foot prosthetic, so she can wear actual shoes. Jade turned into November, and I like her so much more now!

ILY Rapunzel was a gift from my mom. Love her hair and sturdy body, don't love her vacant eyes.

Drusilla, my one and only BJD who was given to me by a neighbor.

DNF: The Geographer's Map to Romance

The Secret History of Bigfoot by John O'Conner. 2/5 stars.

This was a huge let down. It had an interesting premise, and I think in the hands of a better writer, all the disparate threads could have been woven together well, using Bigfoot as a lens. However, it was not well written -- it was just a lot of navel gazing poetry quotations and leftist handwringing. The Bigfooting expeditions were dull. Rorelai's cute though, with her big feet . Update 4/22: I got water on the book and had to pay for it. Insult to injury!

A Sorceress Comes to Call by T. Kingfisher. 4.5/5 stars.

Old ladies! Embroidery as a tool of resistance! Atmospheric and full of vibes. It's literally everything I want out of a book. It dragged just a bit towards the end, and I never really figured out why the mom wanted her daughter to marry so badly.

Vampire Kisses: Blood Relatives by Ellen Shreiber. 3/5 stars.

Shout out to @rattusrattus3 for the rec. I don't read hardly any graphic novels, but then I watched one of Rabbit's older videos and knew I had to read this one for 13yo me. I liked the art and nostalgia a lot. The writing was...meh. It was a lot of fun outfitting Miss Edith the vampire in an approximation of Raven's style.

You Have Not Yet Heard Your Favorite Song by Glenn McDonald. 3/5 stars.

Oh that sounds great. I’m sure your family would be happy to hear from you!!

that movie looks terrible and i’ve never been more excited to watch anything ever
