  • Preface: I’m just a sensitive spirit

    Does anyone every so often stumble upon a review of a five-star book that you loved but the reviewer absolutely hated? Like, disseminating it front to back with lacerating verbiage and a clinical precision. Books, like opinions, are objective, but every so often a moment will slip through where I doubt my entire reading taste 🤣

  • The Tainted Cup (Shadow of the Leviathan, #1)
    Thoughts from 100%

    That was a lot for the ending. The twists and so much involvement. I have love and hate for this book. The pacing was so slow in the beginning, I wasn't interested at all, but at 50% it started to pick up. By the time I reached 50% I was kinda tired of reading it....

  • November Book Releases

    I need a book that will be released in November for a reading challenge. I scrolled around and found these options: Daddy Issues Violet Thistlewaite is not a villain anymore The Sacred Space Between

    Has anyone heard of these? Are you planning to read any of them? Which one should I read? Or please leave another recommendation below. I am in the mood for something on the lighter side and do not want to start another series.

    I am still debating if I should dnf this. I knew it was cozy and that's actually not the problem... I just can't stand the writing style.

    Carrie thinks and acts a bit too immature for her age. I get that tennis was her whole world for the longest time but still…sometimes i forgot she was 37…

    What Moves the Dead was a creepy short read that I really enjoyed. My first T. Kingfisher book- this is a retelling of 'The Fall of the House of Usher' by Edgar Allan Poe, which I have never read, but now I would love to compare these two works. We follow a retired soldier visiting old friends, who have become very sick. The atmosphere had the perfect gothic vibes. I love the character dynamics of the American doctor, the nonbinary soldier, the Englishwoman artist, and, of course, Hob the horse. I can't wait to pick up more from T. Kingfisher

  • The 2026 list for the 52 Book Club challenge just dropped

    This is the first time I am thinking about participating in this challenge. Has anyone done it in the past, or planning to do it next year? Thoughts? How do you even track a challenge like this?
