pickSpent the evening reading, because spending time with a romance novel was what I needed. I felt both Violet and Sebastian, and I'm very glad everyone is this book found each other.
pickThis book is kind of about being tired and I'm so tired lately. I'd love to read it when I'm in less of a depressive funk, but it's good this time too!
PS both people who are 19 in this book should be a bit older, I think
so-soThis book would be more fun if it was organized by topic - possibly less repetitious too! As is, I find it pretty needless, but cannot fault the quotes. The books are good!

Started the next book for my horror book club today and so far it whips!
Got a B&N gift card for Christmas, spent part of it on small, horrific books about the sea.
bailedSomething about the writing style of this book made it feel like homework. Gave it 75 pages and cannot get on board. Not bad, just... not for me, it seems. Great cover though!
pickTruly, I think these first two Moist books are unimpeachable! Love how thematically on point this book is, every piece feeding into the idea of accepting all of yourself. Bent is my favorite Disc subplot. It is a little bittersweet to see the set up plans and be pretty sure that Raising Steam doesn't touch on that stuff (though I have only read it once, when it came out).

"But mostly, he wanted tomorrow to be different from today."
You revolution, you hurricane
#OokBOokClub
I am noticing, on this reread, that the thing about Mr. Bent is really well sign-posted. Maybe I was foolish to think he was a vampire?
#OokBOokClub
This structure/overall plot of this book is fascinating because it's just Going Postal again with the details changed, and Moist has to learn the same thing about himself but with a different emphasis: Postal it was "he is a Good Person" and here it's "HE is a good person."

pickReally, really enjoyed this one! I like its atypical structure and its "fuck the man" vibes. This Brothers Sinister boxset just keeps getting stronger! (Though I will admit to being at a loss after the next book, as those are all the titular brothers, yes??)
Rubbing my hands together in glee as I remember one of the side plots/character arcs being my favorite in all of Discworld
#OokBOokClub
This book being all casual about how it's cops that make demonstrations violent: 💖💖💖
pickThis whole trilogy is great, and the heist at the core of this one is a delight.
So far this book has given me sides of historical polyamory and a gay mom. This is in addition to a heist!
pickOh book, forgive my greasy mitts...
I really loved this book! It was good to hang with Celehar, for a real busy time, and it was good to see him forging connections where he lives. Love yourself Thara!
Every book in this universe could be about an outsider MC forming connections with the people around them and I would be thrilled.
pickWhile this probably my least favorite of the Tiffany books so far, I still enjoyed this book. Gotta say, the Miss Treason stuff was my favorite and hit me the hardest, with Tiffany getting to hang out with Nanny Ogg a close second.

Hoping to turn this one around fast so I can be caught up on #OokBOokClub !
pickWeeks late, I have finally finished Thud, a book that (in my memory) lived more in physical Koom Valley than it actually did. I quite enjoyed it, but I can't say it quite came together for me the way some of the earlier Watch books did. Also, if I were possessed by an incredibly ancient demon I would simply accept that that had happened to me and also never stop patting myself on the back for kicking its ass.
#OokBOokClub
This book seems really invested in getting across that Sally and Angua are queer a d honestly I'm on board.
#OokBOokClub
Interesting line in here where it turns out Carrot and Angua have separate beds. No one can convince me on this reread that Carrot is not ace.
#OokBOokClub
Very odd to me that it's Vimes's soul that reminds him that he hates vampires, and it's made only odder by his interview with Sally, which is a relatively smooth affair.
Also, I kind of wish she didn't go by Sally, but I am having fun picturing her doing Watch work in a big 'ol hat.

pickMy horror book club's next pick, I enjoyed this one, though it sort of felt to me like it spun off of its emotional core towards the end. Still, it's good!
Way, waaaaaay behind on #OokBOokClub , hoping to catch up and probably back to back it with Wintersmith. Don't know how excited I am to revisit this one! Let's go!
If this book were written now (as opposed to a handful of years ago) Arthur Whitcomb would rightfully be called a Wife Guy. Sorry your wife is likely haunted by the Fair Folk, Arthur!
pickSnuck in a demon novella over my weekend break and it ruled. Nuit: a real weirdo!
pickI enjoyed these stories, though I'm not sure all are body horror and I don't think most of them are especially extreme. There's some gnarly bits, to be sure, but I was expecting worse, or at least a higher level of gnarly consistency.
Sometimes you have to look at your obvious-industrial-spy intern and say "You just put a bunch of poison in food we were intending to sell - you're fired."
bailedI'm in no mood for direct address ruminations about death
I think maybe we should stop trying to murder the pumpkin boy we create
so-soYou ever feel entirely alienated by another person's nostalgia? Anyway, I read The Halloween Tree.
pickThis book made me hungry, made me cry, and made me miss my friends fiercely.
Meanwhile, I want to finish this book today because I truly don't know how all these characters are going to get out of this situation alive, let alone happy!
pickI finished this book 10 days ago and I still think of the very ending but I also still think of how tired it made me. Not the strongest pick in the world, but an interesting book.
Nearly forgot to do this!
1) I'm a Night Worms subscriber, happy to have gotten my sub in years ago when it wasn't a mad scramble every month (I do not succeed in scrambles). Tagged book from my most recent box.
2) Twitter, for all my sins
3) I'm still really happy about the friend hang I had last night, so best friends and also The X-Files
Definitely forgot about the killer tree at the quarter mark in this book.
This book supposing that a capitalist state facing (climate) crisis will force it shift to more socialist solutions, at least partially... well, from sitting in the middle of a pandemic, I have the feeling that we will just be expected to keep at it, awash in so much cruelty.
