Look what was released today! 😍 I’ve had it pre-ordered and been waiting in anticipation for months. Now I’m scrambling to finish up my current read so I can get started on this one. #NumberOneFan #MOONspellsmoon #ConstantReader #StephenKing 🩸📚

If you love audiobooks, check out Libro. fm. The membership fee is the same as Audible's, and every audiobook I've looked for so far is available. The best part is your purchase supports a local independent bookstore of your choice instead of billionaire Jeff Bezos.🩸📚💙

Ring Shout by P. Djèlí Clark
4.5 out of 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

It’s a blend of historical horror & fantasy & a retelling of the Fool’s Journey with a supernatural twist about Black resistance fighters taking down a sect of demonic Ku Klux Klan members. Audiobook narrator Cannie Waites was phenomenal.

William by Mason Coile

5/5 stars🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Loved this one!

This was a super quick and entertaining story. It merged many of my favorite things: technology, horror, unpredictable plot, well-developed characters, fast pace, and a twist I didn’t see coming.

Other Related Duties by R.K. Andris is a “dark comedic fantasy that takes the worst of today’s work culture to its nefarious ends”.

Enjoyed it. Short chapters, story progresses easily, quick read, light horror, overall a fun experience.

4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

…May you surpass your yearly reading goals,
and when at last you find yourself at the end of the road,
May you finally find Serenity.

I finished House of Leaves today. What a unique and visceral reading experience! Discombobulating, poignant, horrifying, and sad. It made me feel like I was going insane along with the narrators. Not an easy read, but worth it. I can’t stop thinking about it. 5 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️📚💙🩸

I’m slowly making my way through House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. It’s the most unique reading experience I’ve ever had.

Last month’s reading stats: 2 horror, 1 scifi, and 1 thriller finished. My goal is to read at least 1 page or listen to at least 1 minute every day, which I did on all but 2 days in February. 👏🏼🥳🙌🏼 💙📚🩸

Celebrating 27 years with @timmhertel.bsky.social today. 💗 Our relationship is now as old as it takes Pennywise to return. 😂 Happy anniversary, Sweetie! I love you and look forward to our next chapter (which hopefully won't involve eating children's fear! 🤣) 💙📚🩸

What’s everyone currently reading/listening to? I’m listening to “Tales from the Gas Station Vol 1” by Jack Townsend/Narrated by Mr. CreepyPasta & reading “House of Leaves” by Mark Z. Danielewski 💙📚🩸

It's the best we can hope for nowadays.

Just finished a really “The September House” by Carissa Orlando. Unique POV about a woman who is determined to stay in her dream home even after it becomes a haunted nightmare. Took a while to figure out where it was going, but it was a fun ride. 4.5 out of 5 ⭐️s.

… all black performers during the Black History Month that the government is currently trying to erase, Serena Williams crab walking, Uncle Samuel L Jackson, & the major dig at Drake….it was brilliant, given all the white supremicist hate towards “DEI” lately. 😍

Books are my escape from real-world horrors, where I find hope when things are feeling hopeless, and how I educate myself while wading through a sea of mis/disinformation. 🤓📚💕
