pickHard pick, but I'm not surprised, T. Kingfisher is a great author. The second book in the Easton saga (if we can call it that) and, even though this one is slightly different, it has all the creepiness, wit and pleasant story-telling of the first book.

We should all make this our mantra for the hard times ahead ❤️
so-soThis is definitely an interesting book. I found the writing too flowery, but it does keep the story very surface-level, much like the desired beauty in the book. I loved the gore and body horror.

Fun, quick, witty. I like my horror to be a bit more frightening, but the humor and literary world insight was unique. I thoroughly enjoyed the ending.
pickExtreme horror. Lori is an obsessed pen pal of a serial killer, who sends her on a quest to find a key and deliver it to the River Man. Along the way more and more of her past is revealed and it is shocking. Creepy, atmospheric, gory. There is a supernatural element that normally would put me off, but it works in this case.
pickThis is the 2nd book I have read by this author, and while I didn‘t love it like I loved Brother, I still thought it was good. When 10 year old Stevie‘s 12 year old cousin (and best friend) Jude goes missing, he is determined to find him. But when Jude suddenly reappears, Stevie knows something is wrong. Terribly wrong. And he has to do something about that. Because it suffers in comparison to Brother, 3⭐️, but I read until 2am, so 🤷♀️
My first #FrozenSick prompt completed! I‘m already starting on the book for the next space. 😅🤣 I love this challenge!
Book set in winter: Secret Santa ✅
@PuddleJumper created the awesome challenge, if you want to play along!
*I made a character in BG3 to play as and to use as a model for my posts. You don‘t have to do anything like that to participate in the challenge. 😅❤️
pickThis was odd, but fun! And also deeply sad at parts. Fast read, done in a day. Wish we could have gotten into Constance‘s head a bit more! (4)
3.75/5
pickA haunted hotel with giant topiary animals that come alive, sensational! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I read somewhere about the similarities in the character Jack and King. Alcoholic, writer, teacher, young family etc. I couldn‘t stand Jack. What a man baby, always playing the victim and he was just plain mean!
Time to finally watch the film, I‘m sure I will be disappointed!
