Book Block: Best Offer Wins, Marisa Kashino - Driven by obsession, a young woman stops at nothing to buy her dream home #booksky 📚💙 #crochet 🧶

Crochet finish: did some stash busting with a 6 day star blanket, and a pair of pillows! #crochet 🧶

Book Block: If You’re Seeing This, It’s Meant For You, Leigh Stein - A Traditional Gothic Horror set in a hype house. Bonus points because the house is a fictional version of one of my favorite houses, The Ennis House in Los Angeles #booktok #crochet 💙📚🩸🧶

Book Block: Half His Age, Jennette McCurdy - McCurdy’s first novel is propelled by her anger and reads like Lolita by way of American Psycho #booksky 💙📚🧶

Book Block: We Don’t Swim Here, Vincent Tirado: A dark little YA ghost story fueled by generational trauma, racism and urban legend #booksky #crochet 💙📚🩸🧶

Book Block 1/100: The Stalker, Paula Bomer - I think i am very tired of reading about the inner workings of terrible men #booksky 💙📚🩸 #crochet 🧶

I will admit, it took me a while to realize it, but it was unsettling from the start. It really is a shame because Tirado is exactly the type of author I want to support and see more from, but I just cannot get onboard with this.

Read 100!! Y/N, Esther Yi: A lonely little fever dream about fan culture and K-pop #booksky 💙📚

Read 99/100: The Black Guy Dies First, Robin R. Means Coleman - A good overview of the contributions of Black folks to Horror film, I added a ton of movies to my To Watch list. It may be a little list heavy for an audiobook though. #booksky 📚💙🩸

98/100 - We Love You Bunny, Mona Awad - Equal Parts Frankenstein and Velveteen Rabbit, We Love You Bunny discusses what it means to be creator or creation #booksky 💙📚🩸

97/100 - Crafting for Sinners, Jenny Kiefer - Took me a bit to get on board, but this reads like its Temple of Doom but if Temple of Doom was set in Hobby Lobby and that is fun. #booksky 💙📚🩸

96/100 - Goddess of Filth, V. Castro - A coming of age story that just so happens to involve an old sin eating Goddess of retribution #booksky 💙📚🩸

95/100 - Holy Disruptor, Amy Duggar King - Another memoir, Jim Bob Duggar is an evil evil man. #booksky 💙📚

94/100 - Semi Well Adjusted, Alyson Stoner - took a bit of a reading break because of life & work etc so i jumped back in with this very earnest memoir #booksky 💙📚

Read 93/50 - The New Couple in 5B, Lisa Unger - A retelling of Rosemary's Baby, light on the devil stuff - but there's a happy ending? I don't know how I feel about it - i did like that the Guy Woodhouse character winds up dead in the end #booksky 💙📚🩸

Also - I complain about this a lot, but this book was written by someone who has never lived in New Orleans, and I don't know, its a story very grounded in a particular place and time - and I dont think the author had enough info to really flesh that out.

Read 92/50 - This Cursed House, Del Sandeen - A debut southern gothic about intergenerational trauma & curses, set on the estate of a Passé Blanc family in New Orleans. I didnt care for the message that forgiveness solves everything including centuries of white supremacy. #booksky 💙📚🩸

September reads: honestly not the greatest month, had a couple of real clunkers in there 💙📚🩸#booksky

Read 91/50 - Play Nice, Rachel Harrison - A haunted house story about grief and how a family's members can all experience that grief and loss differently. #booksky 💙📚🩸

TWENTY FOUR DAYS UNTIL HE COMES HOME #futurecat #devonrex

Read 90/50 - Feeders, Matt Serafini - This book may win my worst book of the year award. I only finished it out of spite really. Theme: Social Media Bad, the writing was sloppy and juvenile and all over the place. #booksky 💙📚🩸

also i know my count is off - I don't know what happened there - 89 is what my good reads says 🤷

Read 89/50 - The Saturday Night Ghost Club, Craig Davidson - My least favorite trope in horror is "The Real Horror is Mental Illness" and I spent this whole book just waiting for the real spooky stuff to start #booksky 💙📚

Read 85/50 - Haunt Sweet Home, Sarah Pinsker - fun little novella about being haunted while faking a haunting for reality tv #booksky 💙📚

Rich weirdos is my favorite horror trope/theme!

Read 84/50 - Rouge, Mona Awad - A dark Snow White story about grief and envy and mothers and rich weirdos, all the stuff I love #booksky 💙📚

Read 83/50 - Death in the Downline, Maria Abrams - A novel about the desperation and poison of MLMs n a cozy mystery format. It was a fun, easy read. Ends with a parody of the Bon Jovi classic, Living on a Prayer! #booksky 💙📚
