This book is a timeless collection of scary tales and legends, compiled by folklorist Alvin Schwartz. It features over two dozen stories that include ghosts, skeletons, and other supernatural elements. The stories are often dark and do not have tidy, happy resolutions, making them thrilling and memorable. The book is illustrated by Stephen Gammell, whose creepy drawings enhance the spooky atmosphere of the tales. The collection also includes tips on how to scare an audience when telling the stories aloud, adding to the overall eerie experience.
Set in the city of Ketterdam, loosely inspired by Dutch Republic–era Amsterdam, 'Six of Crows' follows Kaz Brekker, a criminal prodigy, and his diverse crew as they undertake a dangerous mission to rescue Bo Yul-Bayur, the inventor of the potent drug 'jurda parem'. The story is told through multiple viewpoints and features a complex plot with suspense, twists, and character development. The novel is part of Leigh Bardugo's Grishaverse and is the first in the 'Six of Crows' duology, followed by 'Crooked Kingdom'.
Make the most of this summer with the novelty rule! If you aren’t familiar, the novelty rule is a neuroscience hack I created to make more memories, make time go by slower (no, really, and it’s science-backed), and truly make the most of my time whenever I can. When we introduce novelty into our lives intentionally, we live more memorable and more fulfilling lives. Today, I’m speaking with Justine Doiron, AKA Justine Snacks, about the best ways to spice up your summer.
Novelty is all about embracing newness, whether you are making old habits or chores feel new or trying new experiences. The summer brings lots of opportunities to embrace novelty in your day-to-day life, friendships, and relationships.
