#currentlyreading on audiobook. I'm not ready for spooky season to end yet.
I never rate or review books I haven't finished. But I bailed near the end. I was so bored with the story.
• Heard amazing things about the tagged book. Psstt...It's on Kindle Unlimited!! •

It's been a great week for finishing books! Finished the tagged book this afternoon. Review on the way. 3/5 🔥
pickWhat an emotional rollercoaster ride. 3/5 ⭐️ Not the most enjoyable reading experience but I see why almost everyone likes it.
pickFantastically written memoir. It functions on several levels, most notably on an emotional, societal and political level, as the author describes her personally particular plight of being a modern woman living in her body in a man‘s world...[Review continued in the comments]
Recently started the tagged book. I like it so far.

Please help me choose my first spooky season book! Thank you in advance.
I hesitate to mark my posts as containing spoilers. Does that keep some people from viewing the posts, I wonder. Of course, I don't post spoilers in the first place but I do find that I personally skip over posts that are marked that way. Just wondering...
pickwtf...I liked it tho. 4/5 ⭐️ Grotesque. Satirical. Murderous. And yet, meaningful and full of beautiful writing. MC is meant to be unlikeable but as the back story unfolded, I started to understand her mental situation and lifelong struggles. She does things...in the name of "beauty" and staying young. And finding a sense of self. Gross. But good. Makes you think about certain things no one likes to talk about.
>>Late reading report from the past week. 206 physical pages, a few digital chapters. The books I'm enjoying the most are denoted by asterisks. As you can see...I really do read anything I can get my hands on!

Supporting Alabama authors by reading the tagged book.
Synopsis:
"In an immersive Southern Gothic with echoes of Shirley Jackson's The Lottery, a restauranteur lured by pandemic-era incentives moves her family to a seemingly idyllic small town in Georgia, only to discover a darkness lurking beneath the Southern hospitality and sun-dappled streets..."
It's got those eerie vibes (chapter 10, p 91)

• I know this one is going to tug at my heartstrings but I've been wanting to read this book the moment I heard it was coming out. I love Kelsey Grammer so much that I bought this one retail...which I NEVER do. •
AMEN...
pick3 / 5 🔥 Finished yesterday. Pushed myself through. I still don‘t know if it‘s a successful parody (praiseworthy reviews say that was the point of the book) or just Liberal garbage (there are some bad reviews too). It's really up to the reader. The whole thing felt icky and overdone, which I guess was the point. Yet I still finished it. It's somewhere between a Pick and So-So.

Ok, Norman Reedus, I think I like you beyond Boondock Saints.
Life finally includes an iPad. Found an older generation for cheap on marketplace. Love the setup for ebooks and podcasts. Much more accessible than the Kindle just saying.
*contented sigh*
Always and forever, Sylvia

Always a decade late getting to the bestselling books but this one is definitely feeling suitable. I would appreciate all the thoughts just no spoilers😉

Currently reading. Bird Box vibes for sure. I picked it up from the cover alone, about 100 pages in. Not sure where it's going exactly.
• my first Salman Rushdie book and at this point, I think I‘m here for it •
102 pages. Really enjoying this coming of age story set in New Delhi. So much excitement, exploration, expectation and equal measures of heartache and disappointment in these male and female characters. Everyone seems fully come to life, especially emotionally. I can‘t imagine where the author is taking these characters, and that‘s the best part.
Hold my beer. This book is bonkers interesting. My True Crime wave continues with the tagged book. Compelling.
