Still absolutely floored by the genius writing and pacing of Mike Flanagan’s FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER, half prestige drama and half Poe-flavored horror show. It’s seriously so good and so underrated, go watch it!!

One of the things about this study is that a lot of baby and toddler books are written in house, by editors. So the study reveals the whiteness of editorial in kidlit even if not explicitly.
