Share your Storygraph mood pie chart!

Mine as been leaning dark which is normal for me and you can see I’ve been reading 5+ books at once that’s why it’s taking me a whole week to finish anything haha

Second book of February.

This was such a fun ya horror book and my first Stephen Graham Jones book. He had a very unique writing style and I’m excited to read more.

#booksky #horrorbook
White and pink background: Book Night of the Mannequins 3 1/2 star. Summary: We thought we'd play a fun prank on her, and now most of us are dead. One last laugh for the summer as it winds down. One last prank just to scare a friend. Bringing a mannequin into a theater is just some harmless fun, right? Until it wakes up. Until it starts killing. Luckily, Sawyer has a plan. He'll be a hero. He'll save everyone to the best of his ability. He'll do whatever he needs to so he can save the day. That's the thing about heroes-sometimes you have to become a monster first.

Wow wow wow!! I loved this book so much. I fell in love with all of the main characters, I can't wait to pick up book 2 and see what happens next.

You will love this if you enjoy a strong sibling bond, High stakes scenarios and jaw dropping twists.

On a pink and white background: Book cover of Jade city, showing a 5 star rating, read on ereader, rep: bipoc, lgbtqia. TW: violence, drug use, addiction, suicide Summary: The Kaul family is one of two crime syndicates that control the island of Kekon. It's the only place in the world that produces rare magical jade, which grants those with the right training and heritage superhuman abilities. The Green Bone clans of honorable jade-wearing warriors once protected the island from foreign invasion--but nowadays, in a bustling post-war metropolis full of fast cars and foreign money, Green Bone families like the Kauls are primarily involved in commerce, construction, and the everyday upkeep of the districts under their protection. When the simmering tension between the Kauls and their greatest rivals erupts into open violence in the streets, the outcome of this clan war will determine the fate of all Green Bones and the future of Kekon itself.

My January wrap-up! Im pretty happy with this month, my mood reading really took over so I didn’t finish books I planed on reading but that’s okay!

Next month I need to do better with reading more diversely, my goal this year is to have it at 50% or more.

Happy release day to At Dark, I Become Loathsome by Eric Larocca.

I was luckily enough to receive a alc of this book and throughly enjoyed it. It is a grief horror/spatter punk with a premise I have never read before.
