Hoping to get these 3 finished or mostly finished this week! Creepy for Halloween and then Blake Crouch is one of my favorites.

Black Crouch hits another out of the park, this book was captivating and super immersive, I could hardly put it down during my New Mexico vacation this year.

I had no idea Trevor Noah wrote children‘s books! It‘s so cute!

Swear I‘ll finish this “light/short” read tonight, 40 pages down and about 30-ish to go!

Am currently playing Hades II in pre-release so it‘s really cool to be able to tie a lot of these mythical creatures to the games and the God‘s they are associated with!

Such a beautiful cover! 😍

What a beautiful edition of Golding‘s classic Lord of the Flies. This was one of my favorite reads in HS.

I should be taking my midterm but instead I‘m reading creepy Christmas and Yuletide stories gearing up for my Krampus/Christmas sleeve next weekend.

I think I‘ve been reading this book on and off since May…and it‘s now October. 👀😂 I‘ve read a couple other books between then and now and still have only made it 100 pages into this. I do honestly love how it‘s written - it tells you a little about the mythical creature and then it tells you about the legend around it.

This is the book that came home with me from Alice‘s Haunted Little Bookshop - I wish I could post more than one pic in a post because the illustrations are beautiful. Guess I‘ll have to post some of my favorites as I make my way through these pages!

Might have found my favorite new bookstore. This is called Alice‘s Little Haunted Bookshop in Mystic, CT they have a wide collection of spooky, unsettling, dark and enticing books and stories to choose from . It‘s connected through a looking glass window to Alice in the Village, an Alice and Wonderland themed tea shop.

Great end of the season beach day, much needed relaxing and reading before getting covered in all that soft sand from the warm ocean breeze.

Loooook at how B-E-A-U-TIFUL this cover is. 😍

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME - believe it or not, these were the only books I got for Christmas. I‘m so happy.

So I liked this book, it was good and I can understand why a lot of people said this was captivating and really stuck with them. I imagine that if this book had been out in 2018 it would have swallowed me whole. But I didn‘t really feel like it was as profound as it could have been and while it was good, it was a little lacking for me.

3.5/5 ⭐️

Ahhhh. Need to finish #MidnightLibrary so I can start this. Finalllllyyyyyyy. Also can we talk about now upset I am that it arrived damaged!? 😭🫠

Trying to get a jump start on my 2023 reading goals now that I‘ll be stuck at home on COVID quarantine again to start this year. 🤒 Third times a charm.

Another #GoodreadsGiveaway headed my way, can‘t wait to settle in and read more now that the cooler weather is seeping into the New England air.

Finally starting my November #DownTheRabbitHolrBookBox

Not sure why it took me months to finish this book, it was great though. I love how all the stories fit together at the end, although, it was pretty graphic/violent at times. I almost wished it talked more about the news ever talking about the photographer (no spoiler).

So I got my first #DownTheRabbitHoleBookBox a few weeks ago. Finally taking the time to dive into this book and open the little gifts that go along with the reading. 50 pages in so far, I know I won‘t be able to put this book down later. 😍

Just pre-ordered this in a hardcover. It‘s been SO long since I‘ve posted on here and so long since I‘ve read anything new from Winterson. It‘s a good time to be alive friends.

Is it ridiculous that I pre-ordered this and haven‘t read it yet? But since I‘m on such a Maas kick I figured I would dive into this world next. 😏

First, thank heavens this was such a large book. We‘ve had to wait so long. Second, I loved it. Annoyed by Nesta most of the book, honestly, I wanted so much more for her, all that power and such a little pay off. Also...what was the item masked item with smoke from her vision? Hmm.

FINALLLYYYYY. I feel like I‘ve been waiting forever for this, it‘s so thick too. 😍😍📚

I loved the Numina series that Holmberg wrote and so far this is off to a promising start. 😍

Really loving this so far, her writing style reminds me a lot of Liane Moriarty which I‘m a big fan of. Spending the rest of the evening reading and procrastinating my chores because it‘s negative degrees up here in MA. (Shh don‘t tell)

YAAASSSSSS! Just put my pre-order in. Really can‘t wait to get this in the mail come April. 😍

Can we just take a break and look at the beautiful Centennial Editions we have here?

This book is so beautiful, I can‘t wait to read this. I was so happy it got here yesterday morning. 😍

Alright guys, this book isn‘t on here yet but I preordered it todayyyy. March can‘t come soon enough. 😍😝😎 #RuleofWolves

Not a bad book, but if biographic books aren‘t your think I wouldn‘t suggest it. Because I started it...I‘ll probably finish it, but this is one of those started to read because my ex loved this book kind of situations 😂

Can‘t wait to check this one out on my kindle, another #GoodreadsGiveaway for the win.

Another #GoodreadsGiveaway for the TBR shelf :)

Really haven‘t updated in a proper amount of time, going to be spamming y‘all with my recent Goodreads Giveaway wins!

Thanks again, #GoodreadsGiveaway ! 😊

Thanks, #GoodreadsGiveaway ! 😊

SO STINKING GOOD. Blake Crouch never lets down.

One of the books in one of my last book hauls, the second hasn‘t arrived yet still. 😭 will hopefully read this soon, loved the first season of the tv show.

Finally reading this (yes I‘ve seen both seasons of the show) and holy moly is Joe way dirtier in the book. Gooooodddnessss.

Hoping to read this during the quarantine. It‘s from my first book outlet haul of 2020.

This is what $60 in books looks like, this is the first half of my #BookOutletHaul from this last week. Can‘t wait to read these babies.

Won this book from a Goodreads Giveaway. Whoop whoop. (Yes I‘m watching The Princess Bride tonight.)

We didn‘t deserve Fred Rogers.

“Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.”

“Impossible; for how many people did you know who refracted your own light to you? People were more often - he searched for a simile, found one in his work - torches, blazing away until they whiffed out. How rarely did other people‘s faces take of you and throw back to you your own expression, your own innermost trembling thought?”

FINALLY!!! It took the mail ALL DAY to get here when it‘s usually here before noon. Can‘t wait to start in on this after dinner tonight!! Been waiting months and months!

Just got this beauty in the mail from a Goodreads giveaway, the cover of the actual release is so beautiful and gold, but this is also pretty. I‘ve heard good things, can‘t wait to get into it.
