What does normal mean? ‘Normal’ is a word that can make us feel we should fit in, but it’s also an abstract idea that doesn’t represent any real person. #Reading4Normal celebrates a new normal, where we ask teens to notice ordinary things together through reading #UKYA. (1/5)

The holidays shouldn’t be a time to recharge. They should be a time to celebrate.
If work is exhausting people to the point that they’re using their time off to recover, you might have a burnout culture.
A healthy organization doesn’t leave people drained in the first place.

How does Charlotte Smith's 'Elegiac Sonnets', a collection that evolved over multiple editions, paint 'the sonnets’ wandering melancholy as a Gothic subject'? New on the #GothicWomen blog: Rayna Rosenova explores #Gothic subjectivity in Smith's poetry.

The Djinn and The Old Ways started off @PanicFilmFest on a high note for me. Hear my thoughts in this episode (reviews coming).
On today's Little Cuts, @mbmcandrews does a disturbing double feature, @GaylyDreadful begins his Panic Fest coverage and then it's the phenomenal Bette Davis' turn in The Nanny (1965).
