I ended up getting 37 hours during #Slaughterathon. I also participated in #FrightWeek and #Horrorathon (same time period) as well as #Spookyathon, Oct. 23-31. Altogether, that‘s +1,630 points. But wait — I did way too many readathons — there‘s more! 🍂

"If you need this book, it is for you"

This. Book.

This memoir both hits home and is completely eye opening. It's a heartbreaking account of first love, self discovery and same-sex domestic abuse. What really got me was the unique writing style and prose. Written in both first and second person POV with poetry and even a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure chapter, this was interesting and so powerful to read.

Highly, highly recommend!

Soubhiville Yes! My bookclub just discussed this last night. It‘s the first book in a long time that we all gave two enthusiastic thumbs up, even with the difficult subject matter. 3y
FantasyChick @Soubhiville Yes! I can't believe I haven't heard about this book everywhere. It's harsh and hard to read at times but so, so good! 3y

Not quite what I was expecting, but really freaking beautiful! One of those slow burns with an intricate story and a touch of gothic atmosphere. A perfect fall read. 🐉🧡

I also listened to her kind of feminist manifesto Essex Girls. So good! 💚💚💚

⭐⭐⭐⭐
Romance generally isn't my thing, but with being sick, I haven't been able to concentrate on anything dense or dark, so I decided to try something light and fluffy, and this was surprisingly good. I've already borrowed the second book and loaded it onto my kindle.

Only 5 points for the book, but with readathons, I managed to snag 496 points with this one for #TeamHarkness #scarathlon
