pickDid I need this much Tom Cruise? No. (But it was pretty fascinating)
I loved the metaphor &dark fairytale elements. It took a while to set up where it was going &got by on creepy vibes for a while but the 2nd half was great.
This novel has been so hilarious to me. I love Catherine, “the heroine” so far. I have been absent from Litsy, reading all the volumes of “In Search of Lost Time” by Proust. It really was worth it.
“Tsalal,” the appellation of the island of the chasms, may be found, upon minute philological scrutiny, to betray either some alliance with the chasms themselves, or some reference to the Ethiopian characters so mysteriously written in their windings.
“I have graven it within the hills and my vengeance upon the dust within the rock.”

I got good news from the orthopedic doctor. I‘m halfway to complete mobility again. So I celebrated with some books. The spooky book season has begun 👻👻👻

panBlech, not a fan. The concept of a human telling a mythical creature‘s story is similar to the Vampire Chronicles, but I was not invested in Azriel. Azriel‘s commentary on the state of society today was unnecessary. The arguing between Azriel and Gregory about who is worthy of who was annoying. I skipped the sex scene with the spirit and dying woman. Perverted. Gregory‘s masterminding was way over the top. Just not enjoyable.
If you haven‘t gotten a chance to check out this masterpiece, please do yourself the favor. It‘s bloody brilliant!! I‘ve binged seasons 1 & 2 and now I‘m running to finish Lestat‘s books before season 3. Can‘t wait! 🤩🤩 Anne would have loved this. 🥹

My October recommendations! #frightclub #hauntedshelf @jadams89
1. THE ELEMENTALS: McDowell is the one who wrote the original screenplay for BEETLEJUICE. true horror at its Southern Gothic best.
2. HALLOWE'EN PARTY: gotta have at least one Christie, right?
3. THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES: My #1 book of all time. The scary moors, a howling hound, a man literally scared to death, and Holmes & Watson. #perfection
