This was my October #BookSpin and I loved it! A new favorite for me, both the book and the author. Not sure why I waited for so long to read it, it had to be good with such a rec from Stephen King: “One gorgeous read.” The story and characters were great, writing was awesome and there is so much love of books from the very first chapter that it had to be a great read! A pick!

@PuddleJumper Also a #Roll100 pick from back in March
bailedMade it 20 pages before I lost patience with this one. It felt like the author was trying way too hard to be edgy and shocking by piling on traumas for everyone. Probably would have stuck it out if I read this as a teenager when it originally caught my eye 🤷🏻♀️
First Oct #roll100 is a bail ✅
pan1.5/5⭐ A compendium of spells & rituals that focuses entirely on the what and not the why. I liked the thoroughness of topic coverage & the author's sometimes cheeky commentary on spells/rituals. However, he reduces history to a monolith &, while there's a bibliography, cites/sources almost nothing. Read for ideas to take for your own household (if you're okay with no reasoning behind them) but ignore everything said about the past. #roll100
pickFinished this fantastic read over the weekend as part of September's #Roll100! So glad I finally read this!
Here‘s my #BookSpinBingo board for October. #BookSpin is The Year of Lear and #DoubleSpin is the first half of Vanity Fair, which is one of my #Roll100 picks as well. I‘m only doing two #Roll100 for the month since VF is hefty and I already read #100 - the other is Murder Is Bad Manners. Fingers crossed for a good reading October!
I am giving Vanity Fair a go for Victober. One of those Victorian classics I somehow missed reading. We shall see how it goes.
From today's walk. I headed out into the woods but then got paranoid about bears so headed back out of the woods. 😆

I absolutely LOVED this book! Everything about it was wonderful. I loved how Gaiman wrote the characters and how he was ambiguous about who/what Silas was, but the reader still knows. I adore Bod! The ending had me choked up, but was still beautifully done. I‘ll have to hunt down the graphic novel version now!
