I'm SO CLOSE to finishing my audiobook then my kid loses my headphones 😭.

WESTERN HORROR BY VICTOR LAVALLE!? Of course it was fantastic!

Human, stop leaving your things where I nap

Finished! Loved it! This is definitely a series that will benefit from a reread -- I look forward to doing that in the run-up to Alecto

SO GOOD! Generational trauma through the lens of a La Llorona haunting over the span of 400 years

August.

Faves:
* I'm Glad My Mom Died
* The Queen of the Cicadas
* Harrow the Ninth
* The Book Eaters
* Stories from the Tenants Downstairs
* Clown in a Cornfield 2
* When We Lost Our Heads

And yesterday I got this ARC from NetGalley! Starting spooky season early 👻

It's heeeeere!

Fantastic collection!

It started out promising and I enjoyed the climax but honestly a bit boring, both plot and character wise. I dunno, might be a me problem-- it *felt* generic even dressed up with unique elements. Really cool idea that I didn't love as much as I wanted. Still a decent and pretty fast read though!

I wasn't impressed by Night Swim but this was wayyyy better

Starting this highly anticipated sequel tonight! Loved the first one but a bit fuzzy on the characters and details now-- still drawn in pretty quickly here

Oops never posted my July Reads. Better 3 weeks late than never?

*SCREAMING*

Screenshot of my GR review, I was way over the Litsy character limit 😅. Love love LOVED

100% picked up because Christopher Eccleston narrates the audiobook. Halfway through, enjoying the slow burn so far

Deep dive into long term and often messy grief. 4/5 stars, recommended for your Fall reading list

Happy Book Lovers day! Perfect lunch spot ☀️

June reads!

Reread! I loved this last summer and wanted a refresher before diving into The Ice Ghost

Continuing my indulgence rereads. I read this book EVERY YEAR. Easily my favorite magic system and I know the beats of this book forward and backwards. Still not tired of it. Reading this book is akin to a long, hot bath and slipping on a well worn tee after. Relaxing and comfortable

Look. These aren't great. The love triangle is AWFUL. But if you've ever read a petty drama Facebook post and all 300 comments for the juice without ever getting involved-- that's this in a book. At an intellectual level, these are meh. The speed I read them at... well. I NEED the juice. I'll likely get the third immediately just to answer questions and be thoroughly annoyed at the romance triangle end.

I like to indulge in some bookish nostalgia around my birthday. One of those books I borrowed over and over as a kid and it's still fun to read at nearly 36 😁

1. Nope. It looks like YA Fantasy.
2. No, I'm not a fan of this style. Bit overused the last few years.

Honestly this was kinda trash but I devoured it so middle ground 😂. The triangle between the MC and two indistinguishable brothers was terrrrrible but the general drama and mystery aspect was fun. Read this when you need the book equivalent of a fast food lunch

Really interesting, nearly read in one sitting! I had a couple nitpicks but overall a really great read

I've been in a rut, it's Christmas, and I've been rewatching Doctor Who since July (starting with An Unearthly Child.) I've read a couple of these new Who Target novelizations and they're usually fun with just enough extra detail to make it worth itvwhqh you've seen the episode a few times. Hopefully this is no exception

Talk not to me of blasphemy, man; I‘d strike the sun if it insulted me.

July reads. Always my best month of reading every year ❤. Everything was good this month too! I literally rated every single one 4 or 5 stars on Goodreads and only a couple were 3.5 rounded up.

Just started! Pretty much caught my attention right away. Mary Anning, fossils, 1800s England-- yes please.

Latest listen

I am a huge Stephen Graham Jones fan! Desperately trying to read the last third today but keep getting interrupted 😭
