Experiencing one of those "is it me?" things because this feels so slow. But I love H.G.'s Island of Dr. M. And I love this cover (which I think has to count for quite a bit, right?). And this is my first Silvia Moreno-Garcia book, and I'm required to like it because I either brilliantly or stupidly purchased multiple books by her at once.

Hopefully this gets better and is just a me in a mood thing.

He was just a rained-on, ruined carcass, as if he had never kissed her, as if he had never danced.

This book is doing terrible things to me such as making me feel things.

Malfi, you have managed to make my period even more horrifying going forward. I will probably never get that conversation out of my head. Thanks for that! 🫠

Two quick notes (because I need to get reading this - it's great and I'm just being lazy):

1. I knew I didn't like that guy the second it said he thought the forest smells like semen. 🤮

2. A reviewer said this gets scary around halfway, so why was I only a few dozen pages in and needing to turn on the kitchen, hallway, AND bedroom lights (and turn off in reverse order) before frantically leaping into bed?

Is this book giving me the side-eye? 🧐

My husband finished this last night before me, so I now have to feel like I lost the race (that he didn't even know we were in) AND finish this today.

I had no intentions of starting this (and to be honest, didn't even realize I owned it), but my toddler found it (somewhere?) and dropped it in our entryway. I took it as a sign. Okay, not really. I'm just lazy and didn't know what my next book was going to be after finishing one this afternoon.

I can't believe that just happened!

Oh wait. I actually can. BECAUSE SOME BOZO IN THE REVIEWS SPOILED IT FOR ME. 😠

Finding myself more invested in Joe's life than my own right now. What is happening!?

We get it, dude. She's hot.
