Finished this in January.

Wanted to read this because I love the movie. There‘s so much story not included in the film. This is a very dense story that can take a little while to get through. It‘s well written with amazing descriptions, magical realism, and an awesome horse. There is some horse cruelty I didn‘t like.

‘A high school show-and-tell session explodes into a nightmare of evil...‘

Read this in January for the #LosersClub.

Starts with a shooting then turns into something that reminds me of a twisted version of The Breakfast Club. Great writing. Strange twist.

December Wrap Up 📚❄️

Between getting the kittens and catching a stomach bug, December was a poor reading month. I spent most of my reading time trying to protect my books, notebooks, and pens from Jinx and Boon, who act like a couple of determined velociraptors when they get their sights set on something they want. Hoping this month is better. 🙂

Finished two for the #FairytaleReadingChallenge

Thank you to @StayCurious and @LiseWorks for hosting. And thank you to all the readathon hosts.❄️

‘Grimoire Girl is a tribute to reaching inward, honoring the magic that lives in all of us.‘

This is one of those books I just felt drawn to. I loved reading this. It was entertaining, a little touching, and she throws in a lot of great witchy tips.

Last book for #WinterGames2024, first book of 2025.

‘Haines is a successful architect in the midst of a divorce, Bruno a mysterious smooth talker with a sadistic proposal..‘

This was really good. I liked how well the characters were written.

‘Hazel Trepas has always known she wasn‘t like her siblings. A thirteenth child, promised to one of the gods... -Merrick, the god of death‘

This dark tale was a beautiful retelling of Godfather Death. Fantastic writing. Highly recommend.
