I listened to the audiobook for the spring read-along, and I was not the target audience.
This book is great for people who enjoy revenge sagas involving blood, gore, and violence with some witty dialogue & surface-level reflections on the side. I am not one of those people. I flew through this book at 2x speed, grimacing at every overly violent scene (of which there are many) and cringing at the lines that were supposed to make the characters sound edgy and cool, like: āHis chest was tighter than a virgin pussy.ā Gag.
In short: The book wasnāt for me, and tbh, I think it put me off the genre forever š

Do you listen to podcasts where people are reading stories and do you count it as something you have read? For example, I listen to a podcast called CreepCast where they read creepypasta/no sleep stories, on here I have PenPal listed in āmy tasteā however I have never actually read it physically myself :p would you be like šš if people counted something like that towards their reading goal? (I personally do not care, itās pretty much just an audiobook but with extra commentary)

So I'm under the covers, casually reading Annihilation. I finish chapter 2 and take a small break to update my reading progress when my foot accidentally brushes against the bunched up part of the blanket and makes me almost jump 2 feet off my bed. That's when I realise I am thoroughly spooked.
I want to continue reading because it's so good but I'm also thoroughly creeped out and don't know if I can handle a scare. Ever happened to you?
