I could swear I've heard this music before

Is this the cut music from wildermyth?

Nah I don't think this is working

I like this character well enough but she is simultaneously 32 going on 50 and calls her parents 'Mommy' and 'Daddy' every single time they're mentioned

I already have an interest in medical parasitology but the way Dr Halder describes these infections... I feel a bit nauseous

3. 'Her First Cruise Ship” by Ann Dávila Cardinal

I was not expecting this to be the grossest piece of horror I've read so far

That final line? Mic drop

2. 'The Hand That Feeds' by Isabel Cañas

Like a selkie story but the selkie is a she wolf and the sea is a desert

1. 'Blue Flowers' by Agustina Bazterrica
Short, eerie. Sunlight isn't the only thing reflecting off these waters.
Has the sun warmed fuzziness of childhood memories, specifically memories of being told creepy stories in the schoolyard - the girl with the green ribbon, bloody mary etc.

Effective!

Setting this aside bc my loan expired

I'm scared this is going to be too good

This is due in 2 days but idk if I can finish it. Characters thinking about being attracted to each other is totally normal in a romance but it doesn't feel earned here and I'm finding it so annoying... Idk if it's this book or if I'm just not in the mood for romance book nonsense rn

'It's hard for scientists, so fully brainwashed by Cartesian dualism, to grasp'

The extent of the gaslighting by our main characters brother is pretty extreme. And nobody else is acknowledging it so they are basically party to it. I know this is the regency era but still it's painful to read

So nucg has already happened

I need the comfort of St Crispian's but I'm not emotionally ready to be caught up
