Speed reading, both for dissertation purposes and because I have a presentation in a week in which I'd like to quote Serano. Not my first time reading through, but my first time trying to read it in full!!

Voy despacito porque ando un poco a todo y a nada, pero fácil que se convierta en uno de mis libros favoritos de 2026. Un beso Mariana.

No estoy leyendo mucho de nada porque me he vuelto a poner enferma. Pero si que estoy leyendo más que hace una semana, así que, GOD WILLING, esto se finiquita antes del viernes.

Everyone who told me that this was a slog was lying to me! I am having sooooo much fun and the chapters are a breeze to get through!!

Book club pick of the month!! Locking the fuck in!!!

Releyendo el murder-mystery age gap yaoi con conventos como locus de algo mayor que sus personajes y lo razonable ocurriendo a su alrededor originario just to feel something

Book club pick!
One of the richest and most thrilling horror novels I've picked up in quite a while. Definitely get the Sinners parallels it got when the film came out!

Spent one week sick with a summer flu and an ear infection, so naturally I haven't been reading much, but I did devour 150 pages of this in a day and a half, WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK

The Exit to San Breta: Not as exciting as the previous one, but I do love the concept of the car as the haunted house of the 20th century.

With Morning Comes Mistfall: I really REALLY like the concept and atmosphere in here. Don't think that its message works as well as some other stories by George but the ideas around faith, discovery and, human nature

The Hero: Very basic but effective anti-war story. Wouldn't say that does anything new with the genre but it does position itself against colonial ideals other stories of the time with a similar setting mighht have had

The Other Kind of Loneliness: Sort, effective and depressing, a very neat little candy wrapped in scifi flavour

Reading a bunch of these for book club, so I'll be rating them individually as I make my way through them and decide later if I finish the anthology as a whole!

I feel like the whole world has pranked me to get me to read elevated hetslop

Voy despacito con él porque lo estoy disfrutando mogollón, pero es que esto tira como un cohete a reacción

"El manzano": Relato muy Shirley Jacson adyacente. Más que generar miedo te genera un malestar de la hostia respecto a los roles de género de los años 30/40 y lo que implicaba un matrimonio en esa época (o deshacerte del tuyo). Muy interesante y con muchas capas, la verdad es que me ha parecido muy buen relato.

No mires ahora: Lo siento Daphne, pero en este caso la peli le quedó a Roeg mejor que el libro. El cuento es inquietante y su atmósfera funciona súper bien, pero su final me ha recordado a mis relatos menos favoritos de Mariana Enriquez, categoría que me gusta definir como: Susto gordo pa`nah

Final stretch!!!
Depending on the resolution this might become one of my favourites of the year

This is SO much fun and SO easy to read, truly the mix of high fantasy and murder mystery elevates this along with Neema as a narrator so SO much. Some bits of dialogue don't work as well as they should, and the style does feel sometimes a little bit too of "our world", but still, great fun, can't wait to comment it on Monday and continue reading

Last Book Club pick before Celsius 232! Really excited about this one

All according to keikaku
