As the mom of the house in charge of everyone else‘s gifts, I started getting myself advent calendars each year 🤣 has anyone gotten any cool bookish advent calendars? Looking for suggestions!
pickOh what a tangled web we weave … another bizarre tale from Celia. I found myself very moved by the plight of the young main character.
pickDelicious. Psychedelic, spooky art style and palette, 1970s LA vibes, Dracula's brides coming out on top.*Chef's kiss* The parallel of Hollywood demanding, consuming, eternal youth and Dracula wanting the same of his brides, how one woman succumbs to the demands and others fight back against it, is an angle I never thought of and am so glad artists and writers of such talent decided to explore. 1/2
pickContaining sad, happy and thoughtful moments along with subtle humour I found areas of it slow and depressing. Reading it left me, in a way, angry. The fact that it concentrated on a school for the 'elite' rather than a secondary modern, what I recalled of my schooldays didn't match the storyline in the slightest. The violence that the pickets experienced wasn't all one sided so maybe this book was a little bias. It was certainly worth reading.
pickNovel based on the true story of the Jane Collective, a group of women who provided abortions in Chicago in the 1970s before Roe v Wade. The story is interesting but the writing is rather flat —in places it reads more like a women‘s health pamphlet than realistic dialogue. Still a pick because the topic and the history are important—especially now.

1. Very minor bets with friends. I bet $20 on DraftKings way back when it first came around, didn't enjoy it at all, and never bothered again. (Thank God I didn't inherit the gambling-addict gene in the age of legalized sports betting on your smartphone. 😌)
2. Never read this one, but it sounds fun!

These leaves peek out at me over the side of the bookcase I can see from my bed reminding me that this ARC randomly arrived in the mail years ago back when I had a book blog, and I‘ve still barely glanced at it. The Litsy reviews are scant and sort of all over the place. What do you think? Has anyone read it? Will I ever read it?
