There‘s a big fair in town and of course Meg is in charge of almost everything and trying to solve a murder and poultry theft at the same time. These books make no sense but are still fun to read.
I‘m actually sitting outside reading and I‘m not sweating or being attacked by bugs!
pickLove every Trigiani book and this one set in Appalachia is a good one. I just always love her main females, Ave Marie Mulligan, love her family and friend dynamics in her books. Her characters say it like it is. These are always a comfort read for me.
HAPPY PRIDE MONTH LITSY FAMILY!!! ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💜🩷
2025 has been a rough year so far for the queer community, so we have to make sure this year's Pride Month is filled with joy, resistance, and of course - great books! ☺️💕 Here are the queer books that I'm starting the month off with!
Does anyone else have any fun books lined up for Pride Month?
My sixth selection for #2025bestreads is the most unhinged horror book that I have read so far this year. This book has a very important message one that seems that to have been missed as it is currently sitting at 3.38 on Good Reads. This is is Chapman's boldest book to date. Old school Stephen King for our current dysfunctional era.
pickMy April #roll11 read was this delightful cozy mystery.
Jane is the manager of Storyton Hall, a bookish resort set in rural Virginia. To bring more business to the hotel, she plans a Murder & Mayhem retreat themed around murder mystery books. Of course one of the guests turns up dead in his room & she must figure out why.
Jane‘s aunt & uncle have a secret legacy that I found added a lot to the story once it was revealed to Jane. ⬇️
This is a wild book! I think it accomplished exactly what it set out to do. We follow a family of four as each succumbs to far right wind propaganda in different ways: news, wellness, internet chatrooms, technology. Each turns into a monster/zombie literally possessed by conservative ideology. Very violent, hints of bird box and the purge.
This is the craziest horror novel I have read all year. It is also probably the most divisive. Which is unfortunate, because it has a really important message. Wake Up & Open Your Eyes is like old school Stephen King for the social media era, I will say that at several points while reading I was like, “Wow, Clay you really went there,“...and my macabre black soul loved him for it. ☠ 💔
pickWhen your internal monologue switches to Anderson Cooper (admittedly, mine has at some points), because your family is now ‘possessed‘ to do unspeakable disgusting things based on media brain rot…well, should you think you‘re any better? Our media consumption is the downfall of society in this story. One I consider amazingly crafted and particularly disturbing. Ironically unironically sharing on social media, hashtag. 😁
