My favorite so far has been The Shining by Stephen King. Before that, I'd only read 11/22/63 and Carrie. I DNF'd 11/22/63 and Carrie was okay, but I felt the concept could have been better executed. Having read On Writing, I understand that he himself didn't emotionally connect with Carrie and that was probably what I felt was missing.

But The Shining...I finally understand why he's been crowned The King of Horror. It surprised me how gripping it was. I couldn't put it down.

The book I've been most looking forward to reading is The Possession of Alba Diaz by Isabel Cañas. She's one of my favorite authors. I pre-ordered her book as someone who is pretty strictly a library gal, because she's never steered me wrong before. Every book she's written has been a hit for me. But I haven't gotten to reading it! I keep waiting for the right moment!

For those of you who have multiple bookmarks and/or annotation supplies, where do you keep them while you're reading digital/audio books?

I only have two good bookmarks at the moment, but one of them is cardstock/paper and I'm always worried I'm going to bend it.

So besides judging a book by it's cover, let's judge them by their titles too. So which book titles that caught your attention and immediately added them to your TBR without reading its synopsis? Mine are:

Apparently, Sir Cameron Needs to Die by Greer Stothers

I Will Kill Your Imaginary Friend for $200 by Robert Brockway

I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I'm Trapped in a Rom-Com by Kimberly Lemming

That Time I Got Drunk and Yeeted a Love Potion at a Werewolf, also by Kimberly Lemming (hell, basically anything by Kimberly Lemming because she know how to write a title)

Edit: I also forgot to include this banger and very poetic title: I Gave You Eyes and You Looked Towards Darkness by Irene Sola. It sounds like someone's villain era is about to begin 😳

Okay who is everyone picturing when they think of Dorian? I see Ezra as Justice Smith (from Detective Pikachu) and feel he would do a great job playing him and his awkward moments but I cannot for the life of me get a good image of Dorian in my head!
