Got myself one of those furry bookmarks. They grip the page really well. No fear of it slipping and losing your spot.
Yoinked from IG. Who else is hoping to get to House of Leaves this month? 😂 #HauntedShelf #GrimReaders
I'm calling it... Bailing on House of Leaves. At least for now, probably for good but never say never I guess. I read the intro and 2 chapters and it's good but I can already tell it's not the book for me right now. Horror is just not where my brain is at right now.

@BarkingMadRead finally home to open #sss thank you so much! This edition is gorgeous of the tagged book & I‘ve been dying to read Chestnut Man. The wine stoppers are hilarious. Mom tried to steal the candle already 😅 Happy holidays!

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

The freefall continues. The blueprint grows. There Might Be Cupcakes Podcast returns to the House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski for the sixth time to discover its roots. If there is no Minotaur, is there no labyrinth? Is it a maze, or a spiral, everything coming around again, mimicking the beginning?

You‘ve been in the dark such a long while. It‘s time. Soon.
A sexually ambiguous man falls to pieces after a child-death and his marriage's demise. He turns to nearly every drug imaginable (religion, travel, sex, talk-therapy, family, folklore...) before reconnecting with a past love thought foregone; meanwhile, he comes into the inheritance of an ancestral...
