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. •
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.

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.
