Got to love some feminine rage (Pride & Prejudice is just not cutting it for me, sorry Uni reading):

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!

All suggestions welcome 🖤

Uni means I’m not #reading what I want, but I guess Bridget Jone’s Diary is a #horror story if you read it the right way…

Spending the week at #Adelaide #Writers Week. Not much #horror, but great weather and talks, though my TBR is now as long as my arm! 🖤

Number 8 in #SummerScaries is It Devours! by @planetoffinks.bsky.social and @happierman.bsky.social

Picked this one up at the library because of the cover and it looks like I'm about to be devoured by a whole new obsession !🖤

Can confirm: I did far less reading on my mini break than intended 😅

Apparently, if you give me creepy silence with frequent bouts of howling winds, this horror reader will sleep like a baby! 🖤

About to spend a week in an isolated, off-grid cabin on Kangaroo Island, just off the coast of Australia and am seriously looking forward to some reading time!

If you have any #horror book recommendations that suit this vibe, drop them here! 🖤

I finally got around to seeing Longlegs this week, and it was awesome!

I never really pictured Nick Cage in this sort of role, but he was fantastically #creepy. The only problem now is I am feeling a deep #nostalgia for the #mid90s! 🖤

Number 6 in my #SummerScaries series is So Thirsty by Rachel Harrison.

I'm super keen to get into this one after reading Such Sharp Teeth last year. I'm only a few chapters in so far, but something about this book is hitting the spot for me! 🖤

So stoked to see Bookshop.org is selling #eBooks!
Another app might be a pain, but I’ll always go the extra mile to support good while #reading #scary… just have to remember what #books I already have!
(Don’t forget to check your local #LIBRARY first babes! Use it or lose 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!

Finally got to see #Nosferartu last night and it was fang-bloody-tastic!

Moody, atmospheric and creepy, it was just perfect! One of the best interpretations of Dracula I’ve seen, I def recommend if you are into the legend 🖤

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!

What are your thoughts? 🖤

Number 5 in my #SummerScaries series is The Utterly Uninteresting and Unadventurous Tales of Fred, the Vampire Accountant, by Drew Hayes.

I'm in a complete slump now I'm back at work; I'm trying to keep the momentum going with this funny audiobook on my commute! 🖤

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!

Not #horror related:

The biggest question I have going into 2025 is #Goodreads or #Storygraph. I want to focus on just 1 as I am terrible as a human.

Any thoughts and opinions?

It’s movie night at The Bonfire Horror Club!

Never seen this one but I’m hoping it’s amazingly terrible!

Book number 3 in my #SummerScaries series is a light Xmas read: The Visitor by Sergio Gomez.

Five strangers shelter in a diner during a snowstorm on Christmas… and then a 6th shows up….

This one has mixed reviews, but the plot is right up my alley!

Book number 2 in my #SummerScaries series is Horrorstör by Grady Hendrix.

It's my second book by Grady Hendrix and my first fiction one, and I'm hoping it will be a fun experience!

The first book from my #SummerScaries reading challenge is The Fireman by Joe Hill, combining my love of the #apocalypse with #horror.

So far the events aren’t scary but the people sure as hell are…
