pickThis was horrific in the best possible way! It is very dark - if you‘re someone who checks trigger warnings definitely do for this one - but it‘s another great example of a mix of the paranormal and a sort of time manipulation. It deals with grief and trauma and loss but somehow has a very satisfying ending. This is the 2nd or 3rd book I‘ve read from this author and I‘ve enjoyed them all! 🌟🌟🌟🌟💫
pickNow THIS I enjoyed! It‘s pretty wild and I can‘t really say too much about the twists or it‘ll give a huge plot point away, but I will say that it‘s definitely a unique spin on the haunted house story. Beyond the sort of paranormal angle it‘s a look at motherhood and grief and losing oneself as you try to take care of others. It‘s creepy at times and all I can say is I thoroughly enjoyed it! 🌟🌟🌟🌟💫
March #Bookspin and #Doublespin! ☘️🏀🌼🇮🇪⛹️♂️🌷⚾️
Between St. Patty‘s Day, Spring Break, March Madness, Spring Training, and Spring Break (I REALLY love Spring Break), March might be my favorite month (aside from October, of course).
I didn‘t finish a single book in February, but hopefully a whole week off will help me get back on track.
so-so3⭐️ this book belongs in the category of “ what in the hell did I just read?”. It was graphic and pretty gory and really gross. But it had the affect the author wanted it to have so there you go. #BookSpin #BookSpinBingo
“Centered around the Ormen, a deserted shipwreck off the coast of Iceland, the novel follows an explorer who uncovers the ship‘s dark past riddled with lies, cruelty and murder.
A chilling tale perfect for this winter weather.”

What cracks me up is I started both these books yesterday. Maybe I have the gift 🔮… lol, but for real these are both pretty good so far. #BookSpinBingo #BookSpin #DoubleSpin
pickThis book was much darker than I anticipated. That being said, I couldn't tear myself away, I wanted to know what happened. I listened to this one on audio and loved the narration. The narrator has a thick Scottish accent and it really sets the tone. Trigger warnings for non-consensual sex.

I read this YA #Twins book back in 2010 according to Goodreads. I have always liked the cover & the optical illusion/ambiguous image on it. 🩷
pickI admit that I'm probably the ideal reader for this book; I was absolutely willing to fall under its spell. It's the time of excess, moral lassitude, lasciviousness, masks, & debauchery in 18th-century Venice, & also the time of art, beauty, music, & Vivaldi. Set at the Ospedale della Pietà, it has queer undertones, & sets the friendship of two young girls against the patriarchal norms of Venetian society as well as the deep & dark mysteries
