Horror Recommendations, Pt. I (& a read-along!)

If there’s one post that has been requested of me more than anything else during my entire time hosting this blog, it has to be… A horror recommendation list! Check out pt. II of the list here! But, first… Before we jump into the recommendations, I wanted to take a moment to announce a creepy October read-along! (photo credit to Kathy!) Kathy and I have been discussing an It read-along for ages, so we decided to finally host it in...

Most Popular Books on My TBR

Today’s post is going to be a little bit different — it’s not necessarily a tag, as far as I’m aware, but I saw Adriana over at Perpetual Pages do it in a recent video, and loved the idea! Basically, you go to your Goodreads TBR shelf and sort your books by the number of ratings (“num ratings” in the dropdown bar at the bottom), and then show off which 10 books are the most widely read/rated on your TBR!...

Down the TBR Hole #11

Down the TBR Hole was originally created over at Lost in a Story, and is a super fun (and simultaneously productive) tag to help you whittle away at those never-ending TBRs! (By the way, you can click on the covers to go to the Goodreads listings!) It works like this: Go to your goodreads to-read shelf. Order on ascending date added. Take the first 5 (or 10 or 15 if you’re feeling adventurous) books Read the synopses of the books Decide: keep...

Night Shift – Stephen King (Anthology Review)

I am stunned to admit that, at 25 years old, having been a fan of all things in the horror world for my entire life, I have only just now completed my very first Stephen King novel. I DNFed his books so many times in my teen years because his writing just wasn’t for me. I appreciate his style tremendously more now than I ever did in years past, but won’t say that I loved all of the stories in this...

Strange Weather – Joe Hill (ARC Review)

I’ve read almost every piece of work that Joe Hill has graced the world of literature with, and I’ve loved all of them, but this was exceptionally brilliant. Rather than dwell on monsters and ghosts, the most terrifying aspect of Strange Weather was simply the horror of the human psyche, and how far people will go to inflict pain upon others. I’ll be breaking this up by story, as I typically do with novella reviews. I’ve combined the content warnings and will...

Hello, everyone! I know it’s technically the last day of September right now, but I’m so freaking excited for this post that I just had to go ahead and share it with you guys! It’s time for my… October TBR! October is my favorite month of all, because reasons – my birthday is the 16th, Halloween (duh!), and it’s such a cozy, eerie month. It’s literally my single favorite month for reading because it’s usually the best month of the year...

Locke & Key – Joe Hill (series review)

Locke & Key was the first graphic novel series I’ve ever completed, and I loved every beautiful, gruesome, weird second of it. I enjoyed it so much that I’m currently in denial that it’s over, so I thought I’d distract myself by posting a full series review for you guys! I’ll split the volumes up into SPOILER-FREE mini-reviews, but first, I wanted to give you guys a heads up: While I adored this series with my whole heart and think that any...
