Yes, I am reading way too many books at once, but I can't abide not having an audiobook on my commute.

This has been rough going (for feelings reasons, not writing quality ones), but I couldn't DNF if I tried.

This book sounds like an astrology meme account come to life, but I'm hanging in there as best I can.

I've finally reached the age where reading about teenagers doing dangerous things freaks me out because I imagine being their parent. And that makes me glad that I'm not a parent, tbh.

The Avramovs are such spooky edgelords, and that's why I love them.

Look, this is not a bad book, but I am so tense and straight up not having a good time.

There's only one bed... um, cave!

"There have been so many times when I was scared to speak up because I was afraid somebody would think I was crazy. But I have learned that lesson now, the hard way." Oof.

So far I kind of like the "prissy" cousin more than the protagonist. Like, are her main faults that she's earnest and *checks notes* does embroidery? I'm cross-stitching as I listen to this audiobook!

This feels uniquely designed to scare the shit out of me.

I've gone from rolling my eyes at how many witch romances there are to ravenously craving witch romances, apparently.

"Jewelbox" count: 3

So far I wish that the gorgon were less human and the run-ons less prevalent, but am I invested anyway? Yes.

Caught up and then some. :)

Still very far behind, but I'm switching to audio to catch up.

I think that I'm going to do a really special reading challenge next year called "read whatever I want and have fun." Because I am keeping up with all the goals I set for myself, but at what cost?

The way I shuddered when I was reminded of THAT SCENE from Exorcist III...

Mixed feelings so far.

Switching to audio to finish this while I cross stitch was a good idea.

Enjoying this way more than I expected to.

The men in this book are annoying, but the atmosphere is great.

Very strong so far, creepy and nostalgic.

"It wasn't desperation to want someone you liked at your side. There was nothing wrong with telling someone you wanted them to stick around." Welp, that hit harder than I was expecting this book to.

Road-tripping and listening to Taylor Swift with your swamp monster gf

Finally found some lesbian monsterfucker romance!

Me: I’ve been reading a lot of dark stuff, maybe a cozy mystery or lesbian romance next?

Also me: I should read that book that’s based on the Budd Dwyer video. 🙃

I got super behind on Dracula Daily and am playing catchup now. God, I love Mina Harker so much.
