"Rome, Georgia, is definitely where queer girls go to die. In real time, it's only a couple of hours north, but in theoretical time, it's like twenty years south."

Just starting this one, which had me laughing from page one!

Just finished this creepy, twisty queered up YA retelling of Macbeth. Can't say I would have seen the Macbeth without being told, but I may not have sufficient familiarity with Macbeth to see it.

And now (due to no electricity) reading by flashlight like when I was a kid sneak reading by bedside lamp at night, and when I was in college and had roommates. Not sure this super creepy thriller is the best choice for blackout reading, but it is so good.

I've felt wistful lately, and have been struggling to sink into any of my TBR books, and today was a day of waiting for others in a house without electricity. A perfect time to pull out a favorite book I haven't read in years. Conroy's language is always evocative and I sink in for a few hours.
