got stuck in a rut w my last book so we are pivoting and reading something short & the newest in a series I already know I enjoy to hopefully respark my enthusiasm.

it's been so long since I requested this book into the library, I'd forgotten the premise. thrilled to be dealing w a cursed mine !! few things are as horrifying as the claustrophobia of being deep underground

I can't decide if I like this writing or not

yeahhhh until my migraines chill the hell out, I think I just have to accept that my reading will be taking a hit because I am genuinely amazed I got even this much reading in. sorrows

finally actually successfully reading w out instant migraines, everyone in the crowd please cheer. I will say, I really enjoy our MC but for being over 100 pages in, I feel like we only barely have scratched the surface of our story.

I keep starting this and quickly developing a migraine. god does not want me to read this. it's good tho

I am aiming to finish this tonight but dang am I a slow reader for someone who reads this much so wish me luck !!!!

w/ one day left of the spooky season, we have locked in !!

just watched the utterly ridiculous and spectacular movie "Deep Rising" like a week ago and I feel like it somehow spoiled this completely unrelated book for me because so far their storylines are following the same beats lmao I am enjoying it thus far!

ok we are for real actually starting this book now, I swear it !!

really rooting for these friends who are only in the woods trying to find their missing friend/sister but like. things are not looking positive for them.

actually really enjoying our dual POVs, which is something I'm not usually sold on. also it's fun to laugh at the one "nice guy's" internally thought processes.

I WILL be finishing this today !!! I am determined and also, I just want my answers. already convinced one of my patrons to take it out ! I've enjoyed it immensely, regardless of how itll end

this was an excellent first pick for the spooky season because I'm thoroughly enjoying this to the degree that I don't want to put it down. and boy is the way everyone casually talks in this just off the key of normal in vaguely terrifying ways! "I'm working on it. I can make a deal." not just "I can deal" my dude? "make a deal" ?? who we making deals w guys ??

so far really enjoying the atmospheric horror of this. it is somehow incredibly nostalgic and deeply off-putting.

so far, I am really enjoying this! very eerie start, lots of unanswered questions I'm genuinely interested in and just a good writing style.

I feel like we went from 10% to 200% in regards to the horror, but now that we're in the thick of things I am enjoying myself more so a least I know for sure now I'm invested enough to finish

I'm about halfway through and we are only finally about to get to the meat of the plot. this has progressed a little slower than I'd have liked i fear.

changed vibes, silly spooky is the mood now. so far this is very enjoyable. the format is very clever.

well I was expecting to have my next book arrive at the library today and that didn't happen so we are moving on! figured this weird mix of summer and fall would be a good time for a moody ocean filled book. we'll see!

ok but like....for real, what's w the knight? why does one of the side characters live his life like he is a real life knight in the modern world? what's w that. it is eccentric to the point of distracting.

definitely cute enough I'll be finishing

these books are the only ones I've actually chosen to listen to the audiobook instead of reading as usual, because the person doing the readings is deeply enjoyable to listen to and far too good w their accents. can't quite tell yet if this one is gonna win me over as much as the first book but I'm entertained enough to continue.
