Saw X was fantastic. I've been a big fan of Tobin's ever since the first movie released and I've been wishing for a prequel like this for so long. It didn't disappoint! It's definitely a John Kramer movie more than it is a standard Saw movie, but in a good way. 🖤

🎃 October TBR 🎃 I know it’s going to be r 🎃 October TBR 🎃 I know it’s going to be really tough to finish all of these this month… but it’s my favorite month AND my birthday month, so I’m gonna try to treat myself to some extra reading time as my gift to me 😌 #bookstagram #booktok #books #horror #horrorbooks #fantasy #fantasybooks #creepy #scary #spooky #october
“Kakawewe!” 🤡 I finally picked up How to S “Kakawewe!” 🤡 I finally picked up How to Sell a Haunted House a few weeks ago and it instantly became one of my favorite reads of the year so far. I adore @gradyhendrix and everything I’ve read by him, but this might have finally beaten out We Sold Our Souls as my favorite GH title. This story is about a woman who is abruptly drawn back to her childhood home after her parents die unexpectedly. She and her estranged younger brother have to get the house ready to sell, but their mother left behind a collection of creepy dolls and puppets - including a terrifying little clown named Pupkin who doesn’t want to play nicely. While this is definitely a horror story, what captivated me most was the relationship between Louise and her brother Mark. Mark is fully awful at first and I never thought I’d grow fond of him, but by the end, I just wanted to pull these two in for a big group hug and love on them both. And Pupkin… there’s so much I can’t say but wish I could, so let me just leave it at this: that little clown made an impression on me I won’t be forgetting any time soon, for better AND for worse. 👀 Thank you for buddy reading this with me, @mistysbookspace! 🖤
Ella says, "Happy book birthday!" Look at these th Ella says, "Happy book birthday!" Look at these three beauties releasing today! I was lucky enough to haul review copies of THE INVISIBLE WORLD, THE GRIMMER, and WHAT BECAME OF MAGIC recently, and I'm really excited to check out all three of them. Since it's such a big release day, I tried something new, so instead of putting the synopsis in the caption, you can SWIPE through the slides to read what each one is about! Which one should I pick up first? I want to start one today and they all sound so good! 🤩 THANK YOU to the tagged publishers! 🖤
🎃 match your mug to your stack! 🎃 Thanks @c 🎃 match your mug to your stack! 🎃 Thanks @chazreadshorror for tagging me in this fun challenge! I collect mugs and this is one of my favorites, plus I couldn’t pass up the excuse to do an orange and black book stack for Halloween vibes. 🧡🖤🧡🖤 QOTD: What’s your favorite reading snack and beverage? I love a bowl of fruit or some sour gummy candies and a cup of coffee (or, if it’s cold out, cocoa is even better!) 😋
🍁 Autumn TBR 🍁 Tomorrow is the first day of 🍁 Autumn TBR 🍁 Tomorrow is the first day of my favorite season! I’m fully a fall person, always have been, and making my fall and October TBR lists is one of my favorite bookish planning activities every year. For this season, I decided to pick 3 top priority review copies and 3 TBR jar picks - and, of course, they all fit the spooky season vibes. 😏💀🎃👻 🤎 Horror Library, Vol. 8 🧡 Our Last Echoes 🤎 A Dowry of Blood 🧡 In These Hallowed Halls 🤎 Bloom 🧡 Linghun Thank you to the tagged publishers!
“They buried the girl next to her mother on the “They buried the girl next to her mother on the first warm day of spring.” Happy birthday, RED RABBIT! Thank you so much to @tornightfire for sending me a copy. I haven’t read a lot of westerns but I’ve really enjoyed the ones I’ve picked up and I’m always looking for more to add to my shelves. I can’t wait to dive into this! It’s described as a “folk horror epic” and that sounds right up my alley this fall. Here’s the synopsis in case you’re as interested as I am: “Sadie Grace is wanted for witchcraft, dead (or alive). And every hired gun in Kansas is out to collect the bounty on her head, including bona fide witch hunter Old Tom and his mysterious, mute ward, Rabbit. On the road to Burden County, they’re joined by two vagabond cowboys with a strong sense of adventure – but no sense of purpose – and a recently widowed school teacher with nothing left to lose. As their posse grows, so too does the danger. Racing along the drought-stricken plains in a stolen red stagecoach, they encounter monsters more wicked than witches lurking along the dusty trail. But the crew is determined to get that bounty, or die trying.”
I’ve been buddy reading the Crowns of Nyaxia ser I’ve been buddy reading the Crowns of Nyaxia series with @mistysbookspace and we’ve both absolutely loved them, so while we wait for the next book in the series, we’re going to check out this standalone set in the same world and I can’t wait! These books are all on KU but I’ve been splurging on the hardcovers because they’re so gorgeous (swipe to see the design under the jacket - it’s stunning!) 😍 @carissabroadbentbooks is killing it and I want to read everything this author has written! QOTD: What’s a series you’re loving right now?
Today feels like a good day for some cozy reading Today feels like a good day for some cozy reading with a sweet kitty or four. 🥰 Pekoe says hi! 🐈‍⬛ Happy release week to FALL OF WRATH AND RUIN by @jennifer_l_armentrout — AND happy launch week to @brambleromance! 🥳 This is so exciting! As someone who adores SFF romance, I've been eagerly awaiting the launch of the Bramble imprint since it was announced and I was ecstatic when they offered to send me a copy of this gorgeous new release. This will be my first JLA book and I'm beyond excited to finally experience the hype for myself! 😍 FALL OF WRATH AND RUIN is a fantasy romance set in a world once destroyed by gods, where the few remaining mortals are ruled by guardians who feed on mortal pleasures. Calista hides her blessing of intuition well, but when she finds a traveling prince in trouble, it guides her to save him—all the while, warning her that he'll be her ruin someday.
