It’s time for a weekly check-in!
This week has been flying by, mostly because I’ve been super busy, and today is another busy day… but tonight is date night: my spouse and I are going to go see Saw X and I can’t wait!! This will be our first movie in theatres since pre-COVID and even before the pandemic, we didn’t go to the movies very often, but I LOVE the Saw movies and I’m so excited that Tobin Bell is going to play a major part in this one. 🥳🥳🥳
Lots of quick reads and audiobooks again this week! I had mostly a lot of great reads, though I’m sad to say Camp Damascus was probably one of my biggest disappointments of the year so far — I just found it so boring! 😭
- We Need to Do Something // Max Booth III → ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫
- Asylum of Shadows // Stephanie Ellis → ⭐⭐⭐💫
- Dead Voices // Katherine Arden → ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Kingdom of the Cursed // Kerri Maniscalco → ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Camp Damascus // Chuck Tingle → ❌ DNF ❌
📚 current reads 📚
I feel like I’m getting back to that point where I want to start liberally DNFing things. 🙈 I had better make some decisions because I really want to go into October with only a few current reads so I can start on my October TBR without feeling too overwhelmed!
- Out There Screaming: An Anthology of New Black Horror // Jordan Peele → 46%
- Never Whistle at Night: An Indigenous Dark Fiction Anthology // Shane Hawk & Theodore C. Van Alst Jr. → 25%
- Starling House // Alix E. Harrow → 21%
- Off Season // Jack Ketchum → 23%
- Rule of Wolves // Leigh Bardugo → 49%
- Drowning // T.J. Newman → 16%
We finished the current season of One Piece last night and I freaking loved it! I already want to re-watch it. Can we please have season 2 right now?! 😭
Feel free to friend me on Letterboxd if you wanna see my movie mini reviews!

October 7, 2023Haha I really do need to DNF more often! I’ve started DNFing a few per month which feels like a lot for me, as I used to very rarely DNF, and it’s been very liberating. 😂
Oof, sorry that it reminds you of your ex! That’s always a crappy feeling. 😩 I hope that connection fades for you soon so you can enjoy it more!

September 28, 2023I want to watch One Piece but like I do with all things new I keep putting it if and choosing to rewatch something instead.

October 7, 2023I only watched it because Terry put it on one night and I got sucked in without expecting to, and then every night they would put on another episode and drag me back in 😂 That’s pretty much the only way I ever watch new shows but it works!!

September 29, 2023Noo, I’m wanting to read Camp Damascus sometime soon so we’ll see how I feel about it. I NEED to read the last Kingdom of book ahhh but also that means reread the first two because I remember… barely anything lol.

October 7, 2023I really hope you like Damascus more than I did! I feel like almost everyone I know who read it has loved it, though, so my hopes are high for your experience. 😄
