Just an absolutely great read. Kudos to @matthaig.bsky.social for this one! Engaging and sweet with a wonderful message of gratitude and hope. I kept thinking how this book makes me feel the way I do every year watching Its A Wonderful Life. I may lean on this book when I’m down!

Not sure why but I felt disappointed by this one. One of my favorite horror short stories of all time is The One Who Waits. Maybe I just prefer Bradbury short stories. This one just read a little too “Gee Golly” 1950s with the kids. But Charles Holloway was an awesome character. ⭐️⭐️ #BookSky

As a fan of the franchise this was a lot of fun to read. Towards the end it was a little bit of fan service and hard to gloss over the Weinstein aspects, but entertaining over all. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ #BookSky

Can’t believe I had never read this, but it was… a lot. Some very difficult scenes to get through, but what a well written and fascinating book. Not nearly as scary as I was expecting, but definitely interesting! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #BookSky

This was such a fantastic read. Heartbreaking, interesting and fascinating. Truly delved into what it means to have solitude and what it means to be alone. I ripped through this one in a day and loved learning everything about it. Can’t recommend enough! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #BookSky

This was a very interesting book, what if the Donner Party was caused by Native American spirits? Read like historical fiction with a horror twist, and had a great sense of dread through the whole thing. Well done and I highly recommend The Hunger by Alma Katsu! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #BookSky

This one was dark but fun. I flew through this wrapped the whole time trying to solve it. Nothing cheap in this book, well written and entertaining. Highly recommend!

I was a huge fan of Wes Brownes first novel, Hillbilly Hustle and while I enjoyed this one, it just wasn’t as captivating a look at rural Kentucky crime life. Enjoyable though overall, lacked a little bit of the punch.

Really enjoyed this one. A great deep dive into immediate post Regan politics and the people who took advantage of the system for profit.

Torn on this one. I really really enjoyed it and couldn’t put it down, but the ending left me wanting so much more. A great “Eat the Rich” story but left a lot out there in comeuppance. The protagonists were great in this story, just needed a little more villainy. ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 #BookSky

Some solidly funny moments, and very well written, but it was a little bit of the worst characterization of millennials, maybe I’m a bit too optimistic for this one haha. I enjoyed it though over all! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ #BookSky

I may have started something here, my first book by @stephenking.bsky.social and for sure not my last! Fantastic story and the perfect amount of tension and levity for a baseball fan like me! I don’t know how King does it, but this was great! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #Booksky

This was a fascinating read and so humorous and entertaining for such dark and disturbing subject matter. I honestly had to google if this was non fiction! Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a very quick and interesting read. Shockingly pertinent with an interesting premise about the effects of a technological surveillance state. Almost perfect narrator, really enjoyed. Highly reccomend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #Booksky

Loved this book. Really enjoyed these essays from @nathanrabin.bsky.social with some very funny outlooks on pop culture. I did buy this on audible and the AI reading was off consistently which took me out of it from time to time, but overall I’m now a fan and will check out more! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #booksky

Good book with a great first half and a great premise, falls off a bit in the third act. Really well done though and I enjoyed it.

This was good and very introspective. I knew very little about the bands in the book and came away a fan. A little long in parts but this was great as an audiobook. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #booksky

Good book but not as much there as I wanted out of it. Just sort of a ho hum ending for the bar at the heart of the story. A heart felt letter to a neighborhood bar though and that I enjoyed!

Torn on this one. It was recommended after I saw and loved Sinners, but just never found myself that engaged with it. It was a bit more fantastical than I was expecting and that kind of took me out of it. Loved the premise though. Let me know if anyone else read it and feels differently! ⭐️⭐️ #booksky

Just another fantastic book from Percival Everett. This book finds humor where there should be none and still packs a huge gut punch. Definitely recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #booksky
