    I find the plot entertaining so far, but interested to see where this one goes, especially with all the polar opposite opinions I'm seeing out there!

    I think this is the first time someone other than the protagonist has said it! Hellfuck Count: 10! The hellfucks are getting fewer and farther between...any bets on how many there will be? More or less than 20?

    Normalizing 3.0 ratings

    As the title suggest, I rate what I call a good book at a 3.0 and wanted to clarify that a 3.0 is a good book in my opinion, an enjoyable book, that does what it does well but doesn't do anything spectacular and might have some minor issues. Wanted to share my rating system here in case anyone was interested in what I consider each level to be rated at overall. Disclaimer I rate on a . 25 system and will round for the half points Overall Score The final rating is based on all the other scores used as well as the overall delivery, character work, and plot ⭐ 1.00-1.75 - Not recommended for most readers, objective issues around writing, editing, pacing etc. ⭐⭐ 2.00-2.75 - May appeal to dedicated fans of the subgenre, usually also has some objective issues ⭐⭐⭐ 3.00-3.75 - Solid read with strengths that outweigh weaknesses, a good read that might have some minor flaws ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.00-4.75 - Excellent book that stands out in the genre, usually also has objectively good writing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.00 - Exceptional work that sets a new standard, good writing, character work, really transcends or redefines the genre By no means do I expect people to rate on the same scale I do, but did want to clarify 3 stars is a good book in my personal opinion. Would love to hear what you think about my scale and how you work out your own personal scale 😊

    Thoughts from Part IV

    I am enjoying this so far but nothing has really stood out for me aside from the fact that I want to shake Louise! You have the right to remain silent!! You have the right to an attorney!! You’ve done nothing, there is nothing that can be pinned on you, everything is circumstantial. Refuse to speak and demand an attorney!! I expected this to be a bit scarier? I’d heard it was spooky but I’m not getting that vibe at all.

    Made my way through a 70 page hellfuck desert. Though I think the phrase "probably the latter" was used three times on one page in there somewhere... Hellfuck Count: 9

  • TBR Paralysis

    I just finished reading a fabulous book and now I'm staring at all the books I own and wondering what to read next, if not buy a new one (rip my wallet) and read that. How do y'all manage your TBR paralysis and choose what to read next? I know that if I don't start now, I'll have a hard time starting up again after reading something so good, so I need to pick quickly lol

    To Read or Not to Read??

    So I've struggled a bit with Grady Hendrix and his books. I tried to read The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires, but simply could not get into it and DNF'ed about a quarter of the way through. I gave him another shot with My Best Friend's Exorcism and absolutely loved it. So my question is for those of you who've read this: should I give this book a shot? Or should I try another one of his titles like How to Sell a Haunted House? Or maybe avoid his current publications?? Please help a poor grrl out :)

    Preread - Illustrations

    More books for adults should have illustrations! This is gorgeous. I'm so happy to have it in my hot little hands.

    Okay. I really feel for Neva/Fern. But after this fart scene, I know Rose will be my favorite.

    Hellfuck Count: 8 Wren may be one of the dumbest dystopian protagonists I've read.
