Trying something out of my comfort zone today. 🌀 I love horror but haven‘t read anything like this before. 🤞🏻

TieDyeDude I'll be interested to see what you think. He's been on my radar. I've heard his visuals are pretty extreme, and I'm not normally a fan of “manga“, but I'm still intrigued. 3mo
Bookwomble This was the first Junji Ito I read - it's really good, but there are definitely some 🤮 images! 3mo

Second in the series featuring DS Cormac Reilly and is just as good as the first. I flew through it.

I‘m normally not a fan of books written from a child‘s point of view but this worked for me. I‘m a seasoned (older, haha) horror fan and barely any of the newer books scare me, but this had some genuinely scary parts and an overall creepy atmosphere.

The Ruin | Dervla McTiernan

This is an excellent detective/crime story with a fantastic narrator. More so than any other audiobook I‘ve listened to, I envisioned it so clearly like a movie the whole time I was listening.

I loved this and did not want it to end. It reminded me of my very favorite book Olive Kitteridge. Beautifully written and heartbreaking but hopeful, too.

LeslieO Good to hear! I bought it based on a positive review from Annie B. Jones of From the Front Porch Podcast. 9mo
Kimbono @LeslieO I‘ll have to seek out the podcast. Hope you like the book. 🙂 9mo
LeslieO @Kimbono Another one she recommended that seems similar is Pete and Alice in Maine. Also on my TBR 9mo
Kimbono @LeslieO Just added it to my list. Thanks! 9mo

Sea of Tranquility: A Novel | Emily St. John Mandel

Friday off with a cat on my chest and a book in my hand 😻 I‘m halfway through the book and really enjoying it. I‘m sad it‘s so short.

Kimbono I really loved this book. Her writing is smooth and gentle and instead of aggressively trying to put the pieces together I just let it happen. It‘s a good book to set down from time to time to just think. And not to try and figure it out but to think about the time we‘re living in now. 5 ⭐️ (edited) 3y

Kimbono @FelinesAndFelonies I loved it. His writing reminds me of Kent Haruf, it‘s simple yet rich and there‘s a dark moody feeling that I enjoy. Five stars from me. : ) 3y
