If it’s cozy I will find it 🤣
Here it is - cozy HORROR

Okay, Shelley’s Book Nook! I’m trying romance again because you said this one was good! 😂

There is a heatwave on in New England. And my eldest son has been struggling with a back injury for almost two months now. Apparently it is a good time to read about a haunted hospital (?). I blame Reddit. One long overnight at Cooley Dickinson I read a post on the Paranormal subreddit where medical professionals told spooky stories about weird happenings in the hospital. Spooky!

This book just informed me that Good and Plenty candy is partially made up of crushed up beetle parts. I thought it had to be a lie. It isn’t. It’s real. I used to love that candy.
True horror

Here goes! So many people have given this 5 stars and yet all I can think about is the one scathing 1 star review that I read

Ugh. I did not look first and now I am reading this series out of order. I loathe that.

I guess I’m doing the GoodReads suggested Book Challenge Books. Has anyone else been doing these?

Apparently I have read,like, six books in this series (and by my reviews I liked them) but I don’t remember any of them.Huh.

FINALLY I got my library copy of this book! I’m so excited for new Grady Hendrix!

I’ve been wanting to read this book (with a gorgeous cover) during the winter for three years now. Every single winter the waiting list at the library is full until Spring. This year I game in and bought it. I’m so glad that I did! It is delightful so far!

* this book is the January read for the climate change library book club I am in

I love Liz Moore so much! I can’t wait to start this book!

I somehow mislaid my Kindle somehow this morning /: Detective Bennet is going to have to wait for me.

Hey everyone - I actually joined a book club: I real “sit in a room with other people” book club.
It terrifies me. Wish me luck!

Trying to get out of a reading slump, so I am reading anything that seems outrageously appealing. Weirdo that I am, it looks like cake cookbooks, ridiculous mysteries, serial killer books, and Fannie Flag type feel good reads.
So be it.

So, I can’t remember when it was that I last tried to read this. I do remember that I had just read a book about a mystery and a girl and constant snow and a big snow mover. I think I may have just been burnt out on these types of books at the time. I knew it was just a funk I was in because I LOVE Stephen Graham-Jones!

It is dragging /: is it just me?

It is a reread of this gorgeous, amazing, outstanding book because A NEW ONE IS OUT! WHOOoOoOOo!!!

Okay, so I tired to sign up for Marstons newsletter to get the prequels. We will see how that goes.
So, I am hoping these are good because I bought books 1-3 on Kindle

Have not finished yet. Had to return audio version to the library. Even forgot I started it!
What a time it has been

This was a DNF for me. It was not the book’s fault. It was mine.

I have been reading a bunch of YA books. I was thinking about how unique that part of your life is.
Then I thought about what a trip it is to become “elderly.” Honestly these two times of your life are very similar. Your body is changing. How you see the world is changing. Life and death seem both near and precious.
Hey all you people who wrote books ~ how about a new genre about the old?

Don’t mind me. Apparently I just need to keep reading books about old people.
