I feel for Anne so deeply. Such a bright, critical, and talented writer. I wish I could hug her and tell her how powerful her voice in 2026.

Did you know... Noferatu *is* Dracula

Now this! This is the good stuff

Listening to the audiobook for the 4th (5th?) time - Major comfort book, this one

Bookclub is reading this in preparation for the February movie release… Round no.2! Excited to share this with my group :) can’t wait to hear their thoughts

I couldn’t stand Anne when I was a kid, but now I’ve realized I’ve married someone just like her! Love her imagination, her poetic streams of consciousness, & and her honesty. Reminds me so much of my husband, Teddy

Finding so much comfort & love in these stories :’)

Brought to tears several times already! This book is pure emotion 🥹😭

Started this with the Margo Robbie & Jacob Elordie trailer in mind… This is far from a love story, ummm wtf??? Tragic, but not in a romantic way. In an abusive, sickly, & disturbingly tragic fashion. Still psyched for the movie lol

Bookclub happens to be onto Mother Night now - Fitting, after I’ve recently listened to Slapstick and Slaughterhouse Five by Vonnegut. Hooked on this guy

This may turn out to be the best book I’ve listened to in 2025…

Finished the x industry essay… oh I felt a bit sick after that one. Onto the lobster festival… also feeling sick. Both very interesting but very much uncovering harsh realities of these gluttonous industries.

Great momentum! For a 1000 page book, it’s moving fast!

Immensely better than Empire of Storms! Holy shit!

This is one of the few books that makes me cry w joy. Such a comfort read - I remember my mom surprising me with a copy the day it came out when I was in 7th grade! Ah the feels

Heavy read but great convo happening in bookclub

Reading for bookclub… Fuck, this is the scariest book ever. Thinking often about Atwood’s quote about how nothing in this book hasn’t already happened.

For a book about a women plague and violence against their helpless bodies, I am unsure that Stephen King & his son should I have wrote this together. Correction, they shouldn’t have wrote this. It’s also just a shitty book. On top of the questionable concept, it’s got a shit plot, braindead women characters, and a foreseeable ending. Not impressed by this bs. Feels like father and son bonding over their NC fetish.

Slow burn, emphasis on the slow

For bookclub! So wholesome

GAH SO GOOD

GAH Meyer still takes my breath away. Amazed how she turned her FANFIC of her own book into another poetic and modern classic. 4ever a Twilight fan

Didn’t know writing could emulate asmr vibes

This book brings out the gay girl in me… I am hypnotized. Wowzer

Though this is a difficult read, our bookclub discussions have made it worth it.
