90% of my interactions with other humans that I like is through Instagram. I have made some of my very best friends through this app, no matter how terrible the algorithm may be. My dear friend Shawna raved about Crescent City so I picked it up and asked her about…
I’ve Been on Hiatus and Here’s Why:
Last year was a pretty rough one. I was going through a lot, as I am sure many people were. The pandemic did a number on my existing mental health issues, my job became a hostile and inhabitable environment, and my general sense of things was that everything was horrible and it will never get…
The Best Worst Thing Ever Written – Flowers in the Attic; The Dollanganger Series
This is Full of Spoilers, Watch Out… I read Flowers in the Attic for the first time in high school, and I remember being shocked and disgusted. I read through Petals on the Wind, and the first 30 pages of If There Be Thorns (I know this because I found…
Dusting the Blog Off
This year has been hard. My mental health has tanked in a way I haven’t seen since I was a newly traumatized teenager. It has been tough to deal with, and splitting what little energy I had between my various interests have left my blog behind. I did not stop reading, however. I am feeling…
Book Review: The Headless Boy
I have had a spook-tacular October so far and have been reading a lot of horror. I followed Kelli a while ago and saw an ad for her book. I picked it up and on the way, befriended her. A wonderful person, and an amazing author, Kelli is all around…
Book Review: Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke
This book made its rounds on Bookstagram so fast, it was hard to avoid getting caught up on the hype. It was worth it, though! THGWSWLS (quite the title) is a fast paced short, hideous, love story about Agnes and Zoe. Eric LaRocca is a force to be reckoned with…
It’s Been a Minute…
Allow me to dust my blog off for a second. I apologize for neglecting this platform for so long. I once had dreams of running a successful blog in which people would have me review and write about their books here. Alas, depression has this way about it where first it robs you of the…
Book Review: Into Thin Air
I do like to pick up a non-fiction book every once in a while, and this certainly satiated my desire for a real world account of an extraordinary event. While I was actively reading this, I stumbled across Into Thin Air on display at a bookstore with my parents. I…
Book Review: Behind Closed Doors
Hi Blog, it’s been a minute. I have been reading, but I haven’t been writing. In an effort to catch up, at 1 am on a Saturday, here are my thoughts on Behind Closed Doors. I read this back in early June but it definitely stayed with me. What is…
Book Review: Cujo
It has been many a year since I have read Cujo. I dipped from my year of only new books to participate in a readalong hosted by Victor, whom I adore (@literary_thrills on Instagram). I dusted off my precious hardcover and began the quest back to that hot, stifling summer……
