#Darkness

Into the Darkness | Delilah Devlin

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

This is a sort of meandering exploration of darkness and how a series of experiences helped the author embrace the wisdom to be found there. She challenges the binary notion that light = good and dark = bad, sharing the ways in which our faith can grow in times of darkness.

House of Shadows | Darcy Coates

As much as I would enjoy sleeping in every morning, I still love getting up at 5:00 a.m. & reading for a couple of hours before work. Darcy Coates is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. I'm not even a huge fan of #horror, but I've come to favor her #atmospheric writing style. When work has become so busy, I love getting lost in the setting of a #novel, and the two novels I've read by Coates do just that.

My attempt of getting into organized reading this year
With all that's going on in my life I doubt highly I will finish more than 1 book in October. Reading just isn't a top priority in my life this year, I'm afraid...

But then, Spooky Season - Halloween as well as autumn - is far too tempting with all the readathons and stuff going on and it's the perfect time for reading my fave kinds of books - dark and thrilling... 😈


Yuki_Onna ... So I'm just going to do the low key readathons without many requirements - Just to be part of the fun. 🍁🍂

So, this is my selection of interesting books for this October's #Bookspin as well as #Screamathon and #SpookOWeen. Some, like 1 and 2, I will need to prioritize, as I'll have to review them asap, while others just fit my moods, needs and likes atm...
Happy reading, ev'ryone!

Yuki_Onna My goal? To read as much as I can manage and as I like...
@llCoolNate

⬆ All of the above is why I'm not participating in #Scarathlon 2021... I hope to participate again next year - and will support #TeamSlauther in spirit this year!

Isaac Cline the meteorologist got it wrong and Galveston TX suffered what is now known as the worst natural disaster. Death and weeks of #darkness followed the floods and destruction of the city.

bibliobliss
Every Grain of Sand | David P. Wichman, Heather Ebert

“I was filled with so much self-loathing that nothing mattered. I didn‘t want to live in my body or feel any feelings or be where I was. I lived in this limbo between not wanting to live and not wanting to die, simply suspended in oblivion. Even in the worst of times, I always wanted to live...

bibliobliss ...I wanted to feel alive, to be present and part of this planet, to be here, maybe not feeling feelings, but here. I didn‘t want to kill myself, or else they would win, whoever they were. The darkness would win. That was the idea: I‘ll never kill myself, and I‘ll never die. I‘ll outlive all of you motherfuckers. I‘ll show you.“
