SUPERNATURAL

“Her siblings were not… just the same as they had been ten years ago. They were worse. They had spent the decade of her absence growing around one another like roots in the same crowded patch of earth, contorting themselves so everyone could fit.”

Has anyone made the mistake of writing down their tbr pile sss ? I did and there‘s so many books I want to read but I keep getting other books and I read some and get more books… well the total is 358 after my week in Portlands bookstores ( this does not include books on my kindle or books that are in a series that I haven‘t purchased yet) 🤦🏼‍♀️ idk if I should laugh or cry 🤣🤣🤣📚

BarbaraJean 😂 😂 I have a document on my computer titled “Owned and Unread.“ It's divided up by category/genre and currently has a total of 431 print and 96 Kindle titles on it. 😍 😩 😂 (Edited to add: 429 print! I read two more of them this month! 🙌) (edited) 8h

BethM My owned and unread heavily outweighs my owned and read. I like to lie to myself and say that‘s bc I rehome them when I‘m done 😂 6h

MemoirsForMe I talked to a friend last week who has over 1,000 books. So our 400 or 500 seems more manageable, right? 😂 6h

CoverToCoverGirl Laugh and be joyful! I‘m in a worse situation than you. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I always say it‘s better to have extra than not enough. Imagine having nothing to read.😲 6h

Read for #losersclub @BarkingMadRead
An iconic King novel.
My first time reading this one, it was good. I thought it would be more like Carrie, but it has a wider reach as far as Charley‘s backstory and the conspiracy surrounding those that are seeking to stop/control her.

BarkingMadRead This one always gets me, it‘s so good and so scary 11h

5feet.of.fury @BarkingMadRead yessss 11h

In this mystery/fantasy hybrid, Greta Helsing is a physician to supernatural creatures, who are suddenly being targeted by a mysterious group. I enjoyed it but am disappointed that it barely passes the Bechdel test. I would have liked to have seen more of the very few female characters. #ReadYourEbooks

I‘ve been on a horror kick lately, mostly watching films and TV in between grad school work. However, I‘ve been feeling like reading lately when I have the bandwidth. Tonight I‘m starting the tagged. This cover reminds me of the film The Witch, though I doubt there‘s any overlap plot-wise. I have zero expectations which is the way I like it.

Reggie I love The Witch!!!! ‘Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?‘ Crazy Black Phillip. lol 2d

psalva I really enjoyed The Witch as well! I watched it back in February but my brain mostly remembers the atmosphere or feeling of it (and that it was entertaining). Definitely one I‘d rewatch at some point. 2d

Audiobook—Litsy recommended (which now gets me into yet another series). This story has elements I love—Victorian England, great banter, feminist protagonist, paranormal characters including a hot werewolf, mystery, & romance. The narrator is wonderful with all the accents. My only issue is that I don‘t normally listen to steamy books & this has a few scenes. Still, the narration is so good that I‘ll continue the series on audio.

Say you had 7 days to find out how to stop a curse from killing you. How would you do it? Would you waste time or would you do the obvious way to stop it. What would be the obvious way to stop it? Well. You might not want to watch the tape in the first place. I say give this book a chance. There‘s a twist I didn‘t see coming and the characters aren‘t great. But the mystery aspect is pretty solid.
