Love SMG. This is my 5th read of hers. Very cool, gritty vampires in this one.

SamAnne This might be my favorite of hers. 1mo
DimeryRene @SamAnne I am glad to hear it. I loved Mexican Gothic and liked four others. Hoping this one is another love! 1mo

How do you keep a thousand books in one room and then call that room a den?

This was an okay little book. Saw both “twists” coming but really likes the ending.

This was wonderful. Sad and yet not really. Objectively sad, I think. But Frankie doesn‘t seem bitter or upset about the life he lived.

More kids‘ books with trans characters, please! 🏳️‍⚧️ This is a gentle book about a kid who had a brother but now has a sister. It rhymes, it‘s light, it mostly talks about how his sister is all the same things, just had a different first name. Real nice, real age appropriate, just a cute one.

Liked this one! I‘ve been in the mood for westerns lately since reading the American hippo novellas.

DimeryRene @Readergrrl Hope you like it. It was my first by this author, but I‘ll definitely read more this year. 4mo
Readergrrl @DimeryRene I started this last night and before I knew it, I was half way done! The Changeling by Victor LaValle is one of my favorite novels! This one is a good example of his writing style too. 4mo
DimeryRene @Readergrrl I have that on my Cloud Library list as well as the ballad of black tom. 😀 3mo
Readergrrl @DimeryRene I finished Lone Women! Really good! I read The Ballad of Black Tom too. Very Cthulhu/HP Lovecraft inspired! Reminded me of the HBO series, Lovecraft Country. 3mo

Soft pick for me! Liked it better than the second one for sure though! I think maybe I‘m not the target for a cozy mystery. The description of food really gets in the way of the mystery for me. I did, however like the mystery and I‘ve always loved all the characters.

I‘ve only seen glowing praise for this story so far. I did enjoy it, but really didn‘t love it like everyone seemed to. The narrator and mc, Sam was entertaining and I liked being in her head. The neighbors and mother were fine and the grandmother was interesting. The ending just fell really flat and it all came together so quickly. Too easy for me.

Definitely a must read for those who consider themselves feminists or claim to care about all women. We all have blind spots, internalized racism, and prejudice. Even if we are constantly working to combat those things, we still live in a society that values white, straight, able-bodied, and not poor individuals over all others and we need to constantly be uplifting voices of those society doesn‘t seek to protect. This is our fight too.

The Woman Upstairs | Claire Messud

This is a wonderful look inside one woman‘s life as she struggles with the best way to love three members of the same family; a husband, a wife, and their young son. Nora is obsessed with each person in a different way and working out why and if they are as equally obsessed with her is fascinating. A book about art, education, aging, friendship, and deciding your own fate.

Just got past a few moments in the game in which game makers absolutely torture the tributes. These are so brutal. Been a while since I read and I am shocked all over again at the horror.

.. white feminism is going to have to get comfortable with the idea that until they challenge their racist aunts, parents, cousins, and so on, it is definitely all white women who are responsible. ✊🏻✊🏼

Loved this book! Something about a chaotic and self-destructive young adult who wants love and also wants to be grown up, have a career, have friends, but chooses the love above all else to her own destruction. And yet, learns from it…..

Really quite good. Reminded me a lot of the hobbit and lord of the rings. High fantasy, lots of characters, rotating chapters, lots and lots of small things get in the way of the goal. Loved the audio!
