Yellowingish commented on karigan's review of Lights Out
To start, this is my first and last dark romance, however this review is solely based on the book and not my dislike of the genre.
I was warned that the book is very unserious and is not claiming to be any kind of literary genius. I can appreciate a good funny book but I really don’t feel like this was all that good?
The characters meshed well together but only because they were the male/female versions of each other. Neither had any unique qualities. They were funny at times, however most of their interactions were super cringy.
The only scenes that were well written were the ones with smut. (For reference, I am not a smut reader so this is saying a lot lol) In all honesty, it feels as if this book started as a bunch of really well thought out sex scenes that were later strung together by lazy and shallow plot. It’s unfortunate because the actual storyline suffered when it could have added so much more depth to our characters’ more intimate moments.

I wish there was a “not interested” option for us so we can mute conversations on specific books or authors. Idk do you think that’s too much? There are some books I loth and hate seeing on my TL

I have always had a love-hate relationship with the classics but as an adult, I’ve been really enjoying revisiting some of my high school favorites as well as ones I didn’t get the chance to read in school. That said, I’m planning my bucket list for next year’s reads!! Are there any classics that you think are an absolute must-read?
Some of my favorites are:
The Count of Monte Cristo The Picture of Dorian Gray A Tale of Two Cities The Sound and the Fury Orlando Literally anything by Toni Morrison (I took a Morrison seminar in college where we had to read her whole literary canon which really made me love and appreciate her so much more!!!) Cat’s Cradle

I'm fascinated by astrology and the concept of the "Big Three" in a chart. I started thinking about it in the context of my reading experience and was curious what others would say!

Creepy crawling vines, sentient mushrooms, or a killer forest; no matter what shape they take, plants and fungi play a main part in these horror novels.
