I was really hoping that @calmgrove.bsky.social would continue #MarchMagics this year. After all, I just got the Howl’s Moving Castle blu-ray steelbook that has an interview with Diana Wynne Jones! If you want to celebrate Terry Pratchett and DWJ this March, join the #MarchMagics2025 event! 💙📚👀
@klpm.bsky.social Hi Kristen, this is just to let you know I'll again be performing light hosting duties for this year's #MarchMagics2025! A reminder will go out on CalmgroveBooks.wordpress.com in the middle of February 1/2
