pickWhile I did not enjoy this as much as Nos4a2 I did really enjoy learning more about Manx. It was interesting to see his back story and how Christmasland came to be. Now, while this does give us Manx's past and the beginnings of Christmasland I do recommend reading Nos4a2 first otherwise some of the story will be ruined for you.
pickI am sad that this series is over now. I enjoyed every minute I spent with these girls. It was quite the ride and that ending was so bittersweet. With Paper Girls over and Saga on a break what do I read now Mr. Vaughan?!
When all of your library holds start coming in at once 😱
It never fails!!
Two of my favorite musicals....SIGN ME UP!!!
So excited I won this in a giveaway. I may have to pick this up sooner rather than later.
so-soFor me the audiobook was definitely the way to go. The author read it. Sure I kept picturing Marshall reading to me but I was completely ok with that.

pickCreepy, mysterious, and at times disturbing. Everything & more I could even begin to expect from Stephen King's son.

October Wrap Up. I don't think I could pick my least/most favorite because they were all enjoyable (well as much as a book about a serial killer can be).
Happy Halloween everyone!! It is my favorite holiday so of course I can't not share my team's costume at work. Go team PreK!
Well that is one way to describe being a librarian 🤔😂
Halloween (aka my favorite time of year) is almost here. Of course this means out come the Halloween socks and spooky books. I thought this would be the perfect time to finally pick this up although maybe I should've waited until Christmas 😜.
Will I finish before Halloween...we shall see?!
pickI will never tire of these books. Once again I stayed up way to late just so I could finish this book in one sitting. I think I had a smile on my face the whole time.

The picture above is the back of the book and tells you exactly which Poe tale each author tackled.
Interesting 🤔

Ok now I never want to go anywhere by myself again!! This book could definitely give you nightmares. It was so disturbing yet I couldn't stop reading!
October is the perfect month to read a little true crime 😎
I have always been a big Poe fan so I was beyond excited when this collection was first announced. Here is hoping that it doesn't disappoint.
I really just want to stay curled up with my favorite reading buddy all day but I have things that need to get done...grrr!!
so-so(3.5)
Words of warning: don't read this while you are attempting to eat, especially if you have a week stomach.
I can see why this story may not be for everybody but for me it classic King. It is creepy, suspenseful, and extremely detailed. It gives you the heebie jeebies, but in a good way.
Since all of my library holds have seemed to come in at once I don't think I will actually get to the original Stephen King book I picked for my TBR this month (the Shining). You can't have October without a spooky read though so I decided it was time to check out this novella, plus then I can finally watch the movie.
Started this on audio earlier. Not sure how I feel about it yet. The one thing it does have going for it right now is the narrator. The whole time I have been listening I keep picturing Aziraphale 😜
Seemed like the perfect time of year to pick this one up.
pickDue to the break this took some getting back in to. I was slightly confused at first but by the midway point things really picked up. I flew through that last half. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough and that ending?!
pickI really enjoyed the author's take on Loki. It made me love him even more. When all anyone sees him as is a liar and a trickster why should he even try to be something else?
This book was not kind to Thor though (but seeing as Loki is the narrator was that ever really an option).
I look forward to this authors other books about the Marvel anti-heroes/villains that we have all come to love.
My library had a book sale this weekend and I was super happy with my finds. My Stephen King Collection continues to grow. It is my goal to one day own all of his works and I with these (as well as all the ones I already had) I would guess I am about halfway there.
pickPumpkinheads: A story about friendship, love, and all things fall. Very cute.
Lumberjanes: not my favorite installment but far from the worst.
Staring this one today. I thought now was the perfect time of year to give it ago, also now is when my library hold finally decided to come through. I am always a sucker for fairy tale retellings so here is hoping this doesn't disappoint.
I have less than a week to get this ARC read & review posted before official release date. I guess it's time to get cracking. Spooky season (aka my absolute favorite time of year) is upon us so of course I had to dig out my ghost bookmark. 👻
September wrap up
Favorites: The Whisper Man, The Bookish Life, & the Institute
Least Favorite: The Turn of the Screw, Hollow Kingdom, & the Girl Who Lived Twice
This was my project today. It isn't as organized as I would like but at least there are no more boxes of books under my bed. Plenty of room for more books so as the books from my TBR shelf move over hopefully more organization will follow.
pickIt seems like I have been reading this forever but when you are listening to it on audio and only when you are at work...it actually was forever.

Has someone been hanging out with Voldemort because me doth think that sounds very much like a Horcrux. 🤔🤔
