This one is fun so far. I do love a meta-horror, but I have absolutely nothing other than horror fandom in common with these characters... teen influencers who live in mansions 😅

I'm feeling festive 🎃

Here we go!! Kicking off October's pick for my online book club. If any Littens want to join, I'd love to have you! 😊

Check out The Final Girl Bookclub on Fable! We‘re currently reading There's No Way I'd Die First. Join us! https://links.fable.co/gkB2cMxgDCb

So, Shana got a new job at the movie theater.

Just starting this horror novella a touch ahead of Spooktober 🎃

Early morning reading buddy 😌

The only good thing about waiting rooms is getting time to read lol

I always forget how much I like Steadman.

I had NO IDEA there were still some segregated proms in the US, to this day, until I picked up this book. I'm sorry but I have to say it... what is happening in that country?!?! This is insane.

I am SO excited for this one! A Black Final Girl, Yay!! This cover art is amazing, too. I love the juxtaposition of that pretty pink dress with a strong, muscular body. And that she looks ready for a fight, rather than afraid. Since it's set on Halloween, I picked it as next month's read for my online book club on Fable. Feel free to join!! Link below 🎃

We heard the crash first.🩸

Used a screenshot today because there was so much preamble that I couldn't decide what to call the first line 😅

Carrie retelling?! So in.

As an Archie-obsessed horror nerd, I truly feel like they made this just for me 🤓

It may just be because I'm exhausted, but I can't keep track of who is who in this audiobook. It seems to be bouncing between POVs without any indication or voice changes. I think I'll have to switch to the ebook 🤔

😲😲😲
I need a moment to process the game-changing plot twist I just witnessed. There's nothing like a good mid-point jolt!

I honestly can't tell anymore if I truly have insomina, or if I'm just addicted to reading when I should be sleeping 😅

An ironic tea choice for this afternoon's reading session 🫖🔪

Good morning! We're finally gearing up for spooky season in my house ... this year I get to load up on spooky board books too 🎃👻🍬

The forest had claws and teeth. #FirstLineFridays

Reading this for the horror-themed virtual book club I just started on Fable 🔪🔪🔪 Anyone can join, read at your own pace, and leave comments in chapter discussions as you go 🤗

Was going to treat myself to something from Out of Print's horror collection, but they no longer ship outside the US 😖 TRAGIC... although my bank account is less devastated than I.

A true book connoisseur must always taste before reading.

A real page-turner 😏

Wow... I do NOT regret spending an audible credit on this one! I'll be thinking about it for a while.

Just grabbed this on a whim. I loved The Hidden, so I'm hoping this one has similar vibes.

Haha my kinda lady.
Happy Saturday Reading, Littens 📚 ❤️

Nova and I are walking in unison, leading the crowd that followed us outta B building to witness for themselves what's about to go down.

The squirmier he gets, the more of a challenge reading in the rocking chair becomes lol Looks like we'll need a new reading spot soon. Thinking of creating a cozy corner on the floor of his room 😍

Is anyone on here a big Fable user? Is it just me, or are the threads on the post feature very user-unfriendly?? The reply button feels hidden, and even when I find it, my replies sometimes get sent off into the ether never to be found again 😅 Sticking with it for the virtual book clubs, but I think Litsy is a much better social app 🤷🏽‍♀️

Ending my day on a high... a sugar high 😅

I'm gonna say this is like The Shining meets The Yellow Wallpaper. At least so far. I'm sure there are unexpected twists ahead though

As an actual film-geek, I will say, the Final Girl is a bit more complex than that... but if I'm trying to NOT be pretentious... I guess that about sums it up lol 🤓😆

Hey Littens! I've started a bookclub for horror fans on Fable: The Final Girl Bookclub. Kicking off with Final Girls by Riley Sager. Anyone is welcome to join!

A belated birthday gift from a friend. The PERFECT mug. It's so me: Books and Halloween.

44% in. I'm completely hooked. There is something so obviously wrong at this school, that I'm frustrated with Claudia for not noticing... but I understand that her desperation to find a place that is good for her difficult child is clouding her judgment. Ugh!!

Any time I feel myself falling into a book slump, I just grab the next Sloan Kraus mystery. If nothing else, all the beer puns give me a good chuckle 😌

Kiddo's in bed. Hubby's in shower.
Looks like it's just you and me, Ware 😏

I have been waiting so long to get to this one that I no longer recall ANYTHING about it. So, I decided not to re-read anything about it 🤯🤗

Happy #FirstLineFridays!! Opening line, here we go: The wall around the perimeter was child's play.

I did it! I did it! I finished a book made up of actual text! 😅 While I fly through a couple audiobooks a week, ebooks take me SO MUCH LONGER the last 7 months. I'll give you all one guess why (hint: see above photo LOL). I liked this one, but I found 95% of it was completely predictable. Still fun.

I honestly don't know how to rate this one. It was very tense and slightly uncomfortable throughout, but the end was extremely uncomfortable. I kind of want to crawl out of my skin. This was my second Abbott. She's a master of building tension, but this one was particularly dark.
Excited to get to the 2 Hepworths on my libby shelf. Need an Abbott break 😅

It's so hard to find time to sit with my book these days, so I've decided to make park reading part of our morning routine 😌 Slowly but surely making my way through this one!

All in with 2 Hepworths on my loans shelf, this, and The Mother-in-Law. If either of them is half as good as The Good Sister, I'll be very content 😌

🤗🎉

I was so into the tagged book that at the 90% mark, I gave my husband a whole rundown of the plot to that point. He then told me he'd become invested, so we listened to the end together after baby was in bed lol Can't wait to start my next Hepworth!

I can't with how good this is! It's so close to being over and while I ABSOLUTELY MUST KNOW how it ends, I'm also so upset that my time with these characters is almost up!

It's been 3 months since Owen left.

#FirstLineFridays Not the most exciting opener, but I'm really enjoying this quirky suspense

Can't recall how I stumbled across this one but it has strong Eleanor Oliphant vibes and I'm completely engaged!

🤣 this kid is QUICK. I look away for one second, and he scoops my Kindle right into his mouth

Park reading 😊

Hanging out at the park. I've got my book, and he's... eating his 😅

Proud bookish mama moment 🤗

Hmmm the risks of audiobooking while sick... I thought I was resting my eyes, but i must have fallen asleep because now I'm more than halfway through this book and I have no idea who is who, what's happening, or how much I've missed 😅 Makes me wanna move on completely.. ugh 🤧
