How do you record what you #read?
Goodreads is a bit too corporate for this closet hippie, so I've been trying #StoryGraph, but I am absolutely terrible at keeping up with it!

BRB, still entertaining myself with “Butcher” by @joycecaroloates.bsky.social. Both the best and most disturbing book I’ve ever read; the portrayal of characters and issues of gender and class are perfection. Highly recommend it… unless you’re about to have surgery!

What are your thoughts about snobbery in literature when it comes to "genre fiction"?
I came across a Reddit thread the other day where a user described someone judging them about what they read, and I've been doing a bit of a deep dive!

Book number 4 in my #SummerScaries series was a Secret Santa gift: Butcher by Joyce Carol Oates.
A terrifying doctor runs a women’s asylum in the 19th century. I'm assured it's terrifying, and knowing the subject matter, it probably is!
