The Unworthy by Agustina Bazterrica
Rating: 🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦

I was obsessed with Tender is the Flesh, so of course I had to pick this one up the nanosecond I saw it on the shelf.

It feels too short! I would have loved to hear more about this post-climate disaster world and “religion”.

My favorite quote 😍🧐

Book quote from Forever Fluent“ By learning the sounds of your language, you gain access to words. By learning words, you gain access to grammar. And with just a little bit of grammar, you gain access to the rest of your language.”

Just finished my reread of Fluent Forever by Gabriel Weber after making “Learn a New Language” a goal for 2025. Now the hard part - choosing what I want to learn first!

One of my favorite audiobook narrations of all time is Mary by Nat Cassidy! While Susan Bennett really brought this book to life with all the characters, her Aunt Nadine is 👩‍🍳💋…

Just finished “A Passionate Mind in Relentless Pursuit” and really enjoyed Noliwe Rooks’ insights as they related to Bethune’s life and pursuit of liberation. It’s a fantastic (and quick) read that will leave you wanting to research more about her efforts and general history! #booksky 💙📚 #nonfiction

I needed to see this at this exact moment in time. Framing the power of reading as a way to “refocus and lock in” instead of feeling like it is a distraction that keeps you from being able to achieve things big or small.

Tweet from AJ Brown, where he discusses a book that he reads on the sidelines during games. Post says this game is 90% mental and 10% physical for me. I bring it to every game and I read it between each drive. I use it to refocus and log in despite what may transpire in the game good or bad people tend to create controversy when they don’t know the truth.

I only completed one of the extra 500 books I started in January since my last reading update. I’ve read four books for the year so far 🥳

I like using multiple book tracking apps because I get to see subtly differences in how things are categorized. #booksky 💙📚
Reading wrap up for Jan 2025. 4 books total. 1,345 pages. Average book rating of 3.38. Highest rated read was Deadly Animals by Marie Tierney. Average book length 253 pages. Graph of pages read on certain days (not quite accurate but I sometimes can’t remember only my reading for the day) 75% of books were fiction and 25% were nonfiction. 75% of the books were under 300 pages and 25% were between 300 and 499 pages. 2 books were considered mysteries and while business, horror, literary, and self help were all considered for one book each. Fable says I’ve read 2 books considered horror, 2 thrillers, and one book each of business, literary fiction and personal growth. I’ve read four books out of 50 for the year.

I went to reread Two Awesome Hours and was greeted by a note to myself…

I can’t remember why I felt bullied by this book, but I’m about to find out (again) 😂😅😬

This book has me in a CHOKEHOLD! I’m only an hour in so far but it feel like 20 (in a good way). I have a few other Blake Crouch books collecting dust on my shelf while I ignore my TBR, but if this is the norm I’m gonna have to bump up a few of these novels because……..

I’m proud of my reading this year! I’ve always loved to read, but I just didn’t have the time or energy to do much for a while. I made an effort to read more this year and blew my original goal away!

Not only have I read some insanely great books, I feel more creative and fulfilled. 💙📚 #booksky

I can’t get over how much I loved #nosferatu - it was beautiful and devastating. Without giving spoilers, it illustrated for me how women can be used up by the men in their lives (both good and bad). I wonder if my view would change after seeing it a second time…….

So I’ve been reading Here Lies a Vengeful Bitch by Codie Crowley and it was all fun and games until I got to the 80% complete mark. I think I have whiplash from cheering on her revenge spree to suddenly crying in my car on the way home…
💙📚 #booksky #horrorbook #bookrec
Book cover for Here Lies a vengeful bitch by Codie Crowley with far water as background Synopsis for Here Lies a vengeful bitch. They think they killed a girl. They only made a monster. Annie lane was murdered but that won’t slow her down. The mountain her body was dumped on is legendary for raising the dead - so after waking up in the same frigid water that hides her corpse, Annie surges into her backwoods hometown hell-bent on revenge. The problem is, Annie can’t remember who killed her and the list of people who might have wanted to isn’t exactly short. There’s her toxic mom, who spends her rare sober moments ripping Annie a new one. There’s her boss at the diner, whose always been a little too friendly. And there’s her cheating ex and his creepy band mates, who are just shit brained enough to think they could get away with it. All she has to go on her tequila fogged memories and a bloodstained leather jacket but Anne won’t stop until she gets what she came for. Someone knows the truth. Someone is to blame. Someone has to pay for what happened to Annie Lane. Furious fast paced and darkly funny here lies a vengeful bitch is at once a propulsive mystery and an exhilarating love letter to anyone who’s ever been told to be a good girl - or else. River bank with gnarled trees and fog in the background. Sun and moon pendant
