Spending my “appreciate you covering extra shifts” gift card on cat food for the domesticated mountain lion and a book for me.
#TPRC prompt 5 Deputy Hawk: book by #indigenousauthor (no matter which country)
@Yuki_Onna

20 years ago 3 girls escaped from a neighborhood that disappeared into a ghost realm. It is still visible to outsiders but no one can enter except these girls. Now Talitha has been offered money to return.
This book is loaded with secrets and mystery. As childhood memories are dredged up, we learn the truth about what happened 20 years ago. I was very interested to learn what happened in Velkwood. A unique and creepy story.

I was so moved and disgusted by Little Heaven that I emailed Nick Cutter aka Craig Davidson late one night. I wanted to share my thanks for reigniting my love of reading this year….. and my absolute dream of this book on screen some day. Did I think he‘d read it, let alone respond? Absolutely not, but I am so delighted this lit up my inbox this morning!! WHOLLY recommend this claustrophobic read if you need a good spook for your TBR.

I think I know what happened here, but it is definitely a book that ends and you go what?!
I was intrigued and I kept listening to this on audiobook, but I can‘t say I necessarily liked it. Should I check out the movie? 3⭐️

“Fast Car“ by Tracy Chapman
“The One I Love“ by REM
“Hallelujah“ by Leonard Cohen
“Stop Draggin' My Heart Around“ by Stevie Nicks & Tom Petty
“Push It“ by Salt-N-Pepa

Listen, math isn't my strong suit.

Also, I was reminded recently (by Rob Harvilla) that “Push It“ had a choreographed dance routine that went with it. I found a tutorial and my mind is BLOWN. In the words of S&P, “Let's Talk About“...a recovered memory!

“A detective investigating a grisly crime in rural Alaska finds herself caught up in the dark secrets and superstitions of a small town in this riveting novel from the acclaimed author of The Chalk Man.”

Growing up, I remember going to our local movie rental place and seeing the cover of the Pet Sematary movie. It scared me.
Scary isn't the word I would use for the novel. It was horrifying, but not because of blood and gore and violence - though there is also that. What I found the most horrifying is the way it made me think of death, loss, and what makes us human.
BTW, Michael C Hall should narrate all creepy books. Perfect choice.

THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. not only was it a GREAT horror read, it followed an autistic trans lead character, was all about trans and womens rights and just had me engaged every step of the way. The plot twists weren‘t incredibly surprising but they were satisfying. I ripped through this one!!!!
