cookieclutter commented on a post from the Pagebound Club forum
Today is the last Monday of my teaching career. I retire on Thursday of this week. I am looking forward to all the new reading time I will have. I have been a teacher for 32 years, and I am ready to begin the next adventure. While I am not young, I still feel like I have some good time left (I am 58). I am going to start a Substack on books, board games, movies, and anything that catches my interest. I will also be writing a novel. I spent the last two weekends setting up my home office (it looks great!). To say that I am excited would be an understatement (although I am not sure if I will really notice until the first day of school next year. My wife has one more year to go, and seeing her leave for the classroom in the morning will be weird.)
I would love to hear what June celebrations you are looking forward to. I don't care how big or small it might be. I just want to have a chance to share in your joy, too!

Embracing the body and reclaiming otherness, these books use horror to redefine notions of womanhood and monstrosity.
