It feels much more Harlan Cobden then Reese Witherspoon. I have to wonder why this partnership was selected instead of like a Lucy Foley or a Ruth Ware or something.

Feels kind of James Pattersonish. No soul. No substance.

Less a biography of Marlowe and more an analysis of his plays through an analysis of the little we know of his life. Interesting, but I guess it helps if you’ve read the plays. 😂 (which I plan to do, but haven’t yet)

In 7 pages this man has painted a more vivid picture of 16th century England than any history class I’ve ever taken.

And oof, what a terrifying place. 😳

Laughing hysterically over here only to look at all the reviews and read that I must have a deeply unpleasant personality.

It’s fine. I’m not even surprised at this point.

Lincoln in the Bardo: They penised cockily around the graveyard.

I’d laugh if I wasn’t fucking crying. Never read so much about ghost erections in my life. Never wanted to.

They gave this one the Booker by the way.

Yup.

🙄

Was he high when wrote this or what?

One of the trippiest first chapters I’ve ever read.

But very fun.

Kind of 7 1/2 deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle-ish but weirder and more violent?

This started so good and now it’s just dragging, on and on and on.

Where is the horror?

I’ll finish someday. 😂

Ummm… willing to bet I can see where this is going…

It feels way too early in the book for this to be happening.

But also, what the f is going on. 😂

Picking up a little. I think Felix is definitely the most interesting of these characters. I wish we were getting more from his perspective.

I don’t know if I can take 200 more pages of Margaret went to the grocery store and Cal worked at the hardware store and Becky held another seance where nothing happened. 🙃

Kinda bored… library hold came in too early… mistake to read during spooktober.

I hope the SGJ story delivers. So far I’ve had three that seriously upset me/were topics I’d otherwise have avoided. One that was too ambiguous for my liking and another that’s less ambiguous but I’m not really sure to make of.

The next one looks hella long and I’ve never read the author before so I’m bracing myself.

Two Observers of the Slaughter : 3 stars - kind of weird, kind of unsettling. Not really sure I understood it.

My Lithopedia - I can’t tell if I should give this 5 stars because the horror is so successful or 1 star because I am absolutely so uncomfortable right now. lol (it’s absolutely not a 1 star read but god do I want to be done with it.)

Current listen. I’m enjoying it. No real plot just vibes so far, but it’s making for a good Halloween/october read so no complaints.

I don’t care what anyone says, this is funny as hell.

I’d want to hang with Lord Harry too 😂

I am so bored. lol.

This whole book can be summed up in that one Mean Girls gif: Why are you so obsessed with me?

Like girl let it go! You knew Ingrid for five minutes. Who cares? I don’t get it!
