Kitta I picked the SA Cosby for #CampLitsy! 1d
bookish_wookish That one seems like it‘s going to be a popular one! @Kitta 1d
JamieArc I was going to pass over the Janelle Brown because I thought she writes twisty thrillers, which I like, but don‘t like to buy. But this one sounded different and interesting so I chose that along with the Cosby and Schwab books. 22h
bookish_wookish I have the Schwab preordered from the bookstore and the others on hold at the library @JamieArc 21h

This being the Cat & Mouse duet is extremely fitting. This book is intense and has a lot of triggers so i don‘t want to say too much about it here. I will say i was locked in to the story and i have never read anything like it before. It ended on a cliffhanger so now i have to patiently wait for my library to get the second book. This is the fastest ive ever read a 600 page book!

Saturday night Barnes & Noble trip! Apparently Seanan Mcguire released two books that I wasn‘t even aware of!

TieDyeDude She's been pretty reliably releasing a new Wayward Children book every January, though I haven't heard anything about the next installment yet... 4d
bookish_wookish One of the two i got is a standalone book. I need to keep better track of her releases! @TieDyeDude 4d
TieDyeDude Mislaid is very much connected to Lost in the Moment. Have you read the other books in the series? 4d
bookish_wookish Ive read all the other Wayward series except Where The Drowned Girls Go. @TieDyeDude 4d

This book was so irritating. The characters are very unlikable. Very Jekyll and Hyde. The sisters relationship also felt very off. There was one big event that hung over the whole story. You really don‘t fully know what happened until the end. There were also what i felt should have been bombshell moments that the characters just glazed over. I feel like maybe i missed someone in the story. Not a fan!

Aims42 My copy of “The Lincoln Highway” from them literally fell apart. I would turn a page and it would come out from the spine, just like a flower petal 😆 Their customer service is great, sent me out a brand new book and I could keep the damaged one (I taped it back up and gave it to my dad lol He appreciated the free book) 4w
bookish_wookish Oh wow! I‘ve never had a damaged book from them before. I may just try and flatten it out because i really wanted to start this one today. @Aims42 4w

I read Phantasma and this one back to back and i have to say that Enchantra wasnt as exciting as Phantasma. It didn‘t have the horror or intensity of Phantasma that i was looking for. It was still a really good story dont get me wrong just not as good as the first one. I can tell that there will be more to the series than just these two and im excited to see what else the author has in store for us!

This book was incredible! I stayed up past my bedtime the last 3 nights and read during my lunch break and blew through this almost 500 page book! Very few books have me yelling out loud and this was one! There is a lot of gore but it isn‘t pointless gore and I should have used my smut bookmark for this one! The main character does have OCD which can be a trigger so heads up on that! I can‘t wait to start the second one on my lunch break!

I was so excited for this one but there was way too much going on. The amount of twists and turns was very distracting. Also very unrealistic. I loved the idea of story but quite a few times i was so confused i thought i missed something. This was a miss for me but i would try another book by this author if she writes one!

I had never heard of or watched the family Youtube channel and I only became aware of it from the news. I did follow the story a little bit but to hear it in the words of the oldest daughter Shari was truly shocking. The emotional abuse and as Shari put it, psychological warfare is hard to wrap your head around when children are involved. Also the book was very well written and a really good read.

I liked this one a lot. The creep factor was different. What i like the most is that the story was nicely tied up at the end. No cryptic ending! I do think that if you‘ve ever dealt with or are dealing with postpartum that this book could be triggering because it does deal with some of those feelings and situations of having a newborn.
