cute lunch date courtesy of the #BookishBookClub (do we have a hashtag on Blue Sky yet, @wynkenhimself.bsky.social?) 📜

#bookishbookclub was so lovely tonight! Talking cookbooks was so much fun! I made the pound cake of Tillie Patterson (19th c. Pennsylvania lady) from this month's book "Eat My Words", though I substituted some of the flour for cornmeal, so it is sort of like sweet cornbread.

A very Texan #BookishBookClub tonight, y’all. My “please mess with TX” shirt is, alas, in Texas, but I do have some @BalconesWhisky suitable for the occasion.

#SHARP2021 #MovingTexts2021 Easter Eggs in my background: #BookishBookClub postcards, Radical Emprints print from @trickyholly, @BrynMawrCollege Anne Lister tee, @openpressproj press, a tip of the Amos Kennedy hoard, Il Torchio experimental handmade book, my grandparents' books.

That feeling when you've had a BIG OLD DAY and you realize the #BookishBookClub is TALKING ABOUT YOUR WORK TONIGHT! (sorry, @wynkenhimself I'm JUST THAT SPACEY)

Last night at #BookishBookClub I learned of the existence of a late-19C manuscript zine CALLED **CHAOS,** Y'ALL. I need to know where this ended up!

And now it’s time to finish _Dark Archives: A Librarian’s Investigation Into the Science and History of Books Bound in Human Skin_ before #BookishBookClub meets with @LibraryatNight!

Between the reminders of the glory of @TheHuntington in today's #BookishBookClub book and my bestie FaceTiming me from the Venice Jeni's, I am --strangely for me-- pining for LA in the worst way.
