I would listen to Neil Gaiman read a new york city phone book. Including the ads. I swear he'd make it interesting.

This book is not it for me. Uninteresting characters, everyone is miserable, bad thing after bad thing (and I LOVED A Little Life, y'all), and worst of all, I just don't care for the writing.

Book club discussion will be interesting.

Of all the books I'm currently reading, this is the one that makes me tense.

I hate short stories.

But when it's Neil Gaiman, I make an exception.

Damn, girl...

Bout to revisit my childhood...

This coffee cup came with the Coffee and a Classic box a bit back and I absolutely love it.

Starting this audiobook. Hilarious so far 🤣 I love these types of memoirs

Damn.

13 pages in. Waiting to see if I love it or hate it.

Love Vonnegut's work. This was eh.

No one can convince me this is not a masterpiece.

Another novel based on Isherwood's life--this time on his experience writing for a film. Awesome look into the film industry and the social setting of early 30s England with the looming threat of Hitler.

Got stupid busy the last couple of weeks and very little reading was done. Just getting back to this one.

My tentative August TBR. Getting some stuff in before I tumble into dark academia and mysteries for The Season.

And now for some Isherwood... i love the covers of the FSG Classics series of his books. All absolutely gorgeous!

Loved this one! Right up my alley for vibe, storytelling, and setting. Can't wait to read The Maidens!

This was fantastic! A really interesting way to look at differences and understanding between cultures. Loved all the characters. Can't wait to read the second part.

About to start this one on the recommendation of a friend.

I was on a book buying ban.

A good start to a new manga series. Interesting take on vampires (fangs) cohabitating with humans. Can't wait for volume 2.

A little into this. I am intrigued.

Not the best cozy I've read. I don't like it when I feel the need to throttle the main character for acting like a 12 year old when she likes someone and is jealous.

Not liking this one has made me sad.

Cautiously optimistic.

Anyone else have an opinion on this? Especially anyone who enjoyed it but doesn't typically enjoy YA?

Enjoying this one right now. Only three were released in the series so I'm hoping to finish them quickly.

Did a book order. Ended up buying more than I meant to, but whatever 🤣 Excited for all.

Delving into this again. Heckin confusing. Kind of a mindf*ck to put all the storylines together from the comic, books, and music videos.

Lovely writing and interesting ideas on the human condition and the NEED to write.

Sped through this one pretty quick. Short redemption story for Bucky.

Ended up really liking this one. A+ atmosphere and setting. Love a closed circle mystery.

Next up.

I didn't love this as much as I'd hoped to but it did leave me entertained.

Time to try this one again. Didn't catch my interest the first time. We'll see how it goes this time.

Good installment. Beginning of Bucky as Captain America. Kinda heartwarming how much he wants to impress Sam. :D

Time to carry on with this bad boy now. Stopped halfway through.

Really loved this one. Wild turn of events halfway through. Definitely recommend it. I hope more of this author's work is translated in the future. Don't skip over the really sweet afterward written by the author talking about her excitement for one of her books to be translated. :)

Finally upgraded my bookcase situation after redoing my room. This is Kallax the Larger. Kallax the Smaller is also around behind me. I am happeh for the shelf space. Yes that's nutella.

I understand Yona on a deep and personal level. 🤣🤣🤣

My reading buddy is sleepy.

The writing in this book is something I didn't know I needed. Props to the translator.

Interesting so far. I'm itching to see where this goes. The premise of disaster tourism is fascinating.

I adore Bertie and he wasn't in this one. Just doesn't work for me. So sad.

Bastet and I settling in for reading before bed.

Carr nails the creepy atmospheric wonderfulness that I love to read/watch in books/films. However, the actially mystery portion was only sufficient. I found myself squinting a bit, if you know what I mean.

Perfect description 🤣🤣🤣

Taking a break from bedroom renovation to read a few chapters of this. So far, it's got a nice creepy atmosphere that i love.
