Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf, we're talking about #HarrowTheNinth by Tamsyn Muir! The second book in #TheLockedTomb series, Harrow is a phantasmagoric portrait of grief and duty. Our drink, The Ninth Saint, is floral & austere, well-suited to the silent halls of a space mausoleum.

A novella for whatever your spooky season mood happens to be! Gothics, haunted houses, demonic possession, dark fairy tales, grief, madness, and mayhem. There’s something about frights that just lend themselves to short reads. For me at least. See any faves?

In a canal in the desert there sat a ship. Not a narrow, dusty, dry canal, filled with the ends of boats and an sandy smell, nor yet a natural, broad, passage through the ocean with nothing in it to block ships or regulate trade: it was a shipping canal, and that means commerce.

@Leask @Nicole_Cliffe This is so true. Jimmy Fallon is garbage and I can’t believe he’s still on tv.

Spooky Season 2: Necrotic Bookaloo! Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we're talking about LEECH by Hiron Ennes. A gothic sci-fi novel replete with body horror, it is one of my favorite books of the year! Our drink, The Institute, is a frosty dessert cocktail that eats you right back.

Bar Cart Bookshelf doesn't have an LGBTQIA+ playlist because that's basically my whole beat. I'm more interested in *how* you explore masculinity, queerness, the othering of sexual minorities. And most of all with story & speculation. I want to know what's fantastical.

NEW VIDEO ALERT! Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we’re talking about LOVELY CREATURES by KT Bryski. A deliciously voicey novella with a fairytale aura amid a dustbowl wasteland, I was enchanted. Our drink, the Dust Devil, is dry as bone and bright with an apple kiss.

@Nicole_Cliffe Actually heartbreaking. It just looks like cheap plastic.

NEW VIDEO ALERT! Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf, we’re talking about one of my absolute favorite books: AMBERLOUGH, by @larazontally . Our cocktail, the Bumble Bee Blaze, is a tribute to the glamour and grit of the Amberlinian demi-monde. Cheers!

I call this stack “So you want something weird?” Here’s a fun constellation of books I enjoyed together, thinking about the relationship between the self & body, society & the alien. Divine sci-fi, clones, planet-sized AI, botanical scifantasy, the ethics of first contact. Enjoy!

Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we're talking about @KMayquist 's TRIPPING ARCADIA: a Boston-based botanical gothic with a byronic boy, a sharp sister, and a poisonous physician's assistant. Our drink, Arrow's Edge, is effervescent and herbal, but much kinder than the Verdeau parties!

NEW VIDEO ALERT! Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we’re talking about THE ALL-CONSUMING WORLD by @casskhaw . A gory gonzo space western, this book loves language, mess, & missiles. Our drink, Dimmuborgir, is ideal for getting back together with your coworkers/sisters-in-arms/exes.

NEW VIDEO ALERT! Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we’re talking about A PSALM FOR THE WILD-BUILT by Becky Chambers. A cozy solarpunk future of tea and temperance, the novella inspired the Ramble, a fruity refreshing mocktail perfect for after a bike ride or at a monk’s tea service.

Did you know it’s #SciFiMonth ? I’ve got THE MIMICKING OF KNOWN SUCCESSES by Malka Older on my TBR this month. I had a great time with the Centenal Cycle and when you offer up a cozy sapphic mystery set on Jupiter, you know I’m leaping at the chance!

Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we’re talking about THE TWO DOCTORS GÓRSKI by @Isaac_Fellman . A critique of graduate mentorship with magic both tantalizingly familiar & wholly otherworldly. Our drink, the Brandford Tonic, is a mocktail for a walk to the university on a misty morning.
