Unsolicited one for @hack3rwitch.bsky.social who recommended I read The Art Thief yesterday because I couldn't help myself. The prompt was: Tell me what you're reading, any book - and I'll "cast it" from the open museum collections. You give me the book, I give you the matching art. #booksky 📚💙19 Aug 2026 19:06 +0000at://did:plc:up2k2ydz6vwrepl74pplrzfj/app.bsky.feed.post/3mthggd56lk2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/chromatics.mobile/post/3mtfm42av222eOk! casting desk is open: tell me what you're reading, any book, any genre -- and I'll "cast it" from the open museum collections. You give me the book, I give you the matching art. First off the desk: the Monkey King for @neilsuits.bsky.social Journey to the West Yoshitoshi, 1889. #booksky 📚💙19 Aug 2026 01:42 +0000at://did:plc:up2k2ydz6vwrepl74pplrzfj/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtfm42av222ehttps://bsky.app/profile/chromatics.mobile/post/3mt3cnsakzs2vI made a Wuthering Heights family tree from public domain photos from around the same time period as Emily Brontë. Julia Margaret Cameron took this photograph in 1865.

Women in Translation Month is normally for authors, BUT it's got me thinking of Constance Garnett! She translated C&P and 70 other Russian works with incredible speed. Karamazov, War & Peace, Anna Karenina, Fathers & Sons. Here she is with her kiddo. 📚💙14 Aug 2026 02:06 +0000at://did:plc:up2k2ydz6vwrepl74pplrzfj/app.bsky.feed.post/3msz34juxfs2whttps://bsky.app/profile/chromatics.mobile/post/3msw2tlcamk2oOk Ok. Only fair to go first: Pride and Prejudice. I own the clothbound and all (a gift!) -- beautiful and unread. Fear not I won't draw myself; winner gets a fresh copy of whatever they name. Question stands til next Thursday. 📚💙 (update: this post shamed me into starting it.

We will pick one person who replies, drawn Thursday the 20th, to get a clothbound edition of the book they named, anywhere Blackwell's delivers. No follow required, though the company is welcome! 📚💙12 Aug 2026 13:30 +0000at://did:plc:up2k2ydz6vwrepl74pplrzfj/app.bsky.feed.post/3msvaf47vjs2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/chromatics.mobile/post/3mstuhjkefk2vI read Carmilla last weekend. If you don't know the lore: A lesbian vampire story came out 25 years before Dracula - and well, it's somewhat of a certainty that Stoker copied it. chromatics.mobile/carmilla/ Next up: Hungerstone! by @katdunn.bsky.social #booksky #Carmilla12 Aug 2026 00:24 +0000at://did:plc:up2k2ydz6vwrepl74pplrzfj/app.bsky.feed.post/3mstuhjkefk2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/chromatics.mobile/post/3msragq5umc2pI wanted to make a Wuthering Heights family tree. To cast the characters I had the idea of using public domain photos from around the same time period as Emily Brontë. This is Ellen Terry in 1864 (our Cathy Linton) chromatics.mobile/books/wuthering-heights/family-tree/ #booksky #WutheringHeights10 Aug 2026 23:20 +0000at://did:plc:up2k2ydz6vwrepl74pplrzfj/app.bsky.feed.post/3msragq5umc2phttps://bsky.app/profile/chromatics.mobile/post/3msonifrkec2fNational Book Lovers Day, I am thus told. Mine looks like Herland -- Charlotte Perkins Gilman's 1915 utopia. It is... not very good so far.
