Dear Katelyn “the bookcase beauty”

Where I was…

I was raised in an agnostic household to parents who were not believers but held space for me and my sisters to explore without judgement.

Milkman by Anna Burns
"Didnt work for me. Its like a 12yr old's idea of quirky. Character names like Somebody McSomebody, Maybe-Boyfriend, and 'Tablets-Girl aka The Girl Who Really Was A Woman' give you an idea of how cringe it gets.

Not even sure if I was supposed to find " Read more of this review »

Sadie Hartmann is 12% done with Decomposition Book: "God, I can't be a murderer. I'm not even twenty-two yet. Not that that's totally relevant, but I feel like you should at least be old enough to be off your parents' health insurance to be a whole murderer. I guess I'm just special."

The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
“No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more. Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone.”

Kelly Sadie, the last thing I need is another series on my tbr but I couldn't resist your praise of the Miriam Black series by Chuck Wendig. I just ordered the first 3 books. Can't wait to try them! Hope your holiday season is going well, and good luck with the move.
