I'm gonna remind people that I feel pretty strongly that if you bought one of my ebooks legitimately, then you own the book and however you secure that ownership is fine by me

I only read one non-fiction book in 2024, but it was great so I'm happy about it. Here's my review for The Anatomy Murders by Lisa Rosner:
🩸 A history lesson disguised as a true-crime book. 
🩸 Explores a scandalous string of murders that took place in Edinburgh in the early 1800s.

Down Among the Stick and Bones by @seananmcguire.bsky.social
🩸 Second book in the Wayward Children series, and it made me want more!
🩸 Reads like a dark fairytale… a fantastical and gloomy tale about a pair of twins growing up in different directions.

Christmas at Wheeldale Inn by Gemma Amor @manylittlewords.bsky.social was a perfect seasonal read!
🔔 An atmospheric ghost story in the Victorian tradition that will chill you to the bone.
🔔 A tale of misfortune that morphs into a powerful good-for-her story with a supernatural twist.

I wasn't sure I'd enjoy a historical fantasy horror, but Ring Shout by P. Djèlí Clark @pdjeliclark.bsky.social was a big hit for me!
🗡 Centred around the fight against a Ku Klux Klan re-imagined as literal monsters.

Went a little out of my comfort zone with this one, and I loved it!

I just finished my first rewatch of Mike Flanagan's @mikeflanaganfilm.com Midnight Mass. It was somehow more devastating than the first time. This show speaks to my soul and my deepest fears... obsessed is an understatement 🔥🖤
