    I feel like I’m not supposed to be drawn to Elm … but I am … is this problematic for me?! I can’t wait to find out! It’s all getting quite exciting ☺️

    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 :)

    I love that moment in a high fantasy story when things start clicking and you start seeing how the different POVs connect in some way ☺️

    This was an enjoyable read, a brilliant gothic romantasy with a lot to say about change and growth in a person’s faith…also I think the gargoyle might be my favourite fictional character of all time!

    I'm getting through this book much faster than I'd like! I can't put it down and I don't want it to end ... I love the eerie undertone to the plot that I never expected! Also, if anything happens to the gargoyle, Rachel Gillig will hear from me!!

  • Do you consider special edition books "art"?

    Was curious what everyone's thoughts on this was. Since getting back into reading I've also been adding books to my personal library. I have also gotten into collecting the beautiful special edition prints of books, especially the broken binding and a few illumicrate editions. I usually display these as art pieces, my broken binding copy of Blood Over Brighthaven and The Devils is currently cover out in front of some paperbacks I have and was curious if others did this as well?
