For me, I see Gregoria from Vampirina. My friend said she saw something like the Snow Monster from Frozen. What does everyone else see????

Reading this for my thesis, but it's actually quite funny in places! If you want to learn more about space give it a go!

I've been a fan of all the Grady Hendrix books I've read so far and I'm enjoying this one as well but I'm not sure how I am going to feel once it takes that 'campy horror twist' that I normally love so much in Hendrix's other works. Being Irish we have so much dark history with mother and baby homes ran by the church, the last being closed within my lifetime, so its not a distant history. I'm not sure how I'll feel about it, I'm hoping I can separate it in my mind as this books feels so American rather than Irish. I'm going to keep going for the moment, here's hoping the girls get their revenge on those who have wronged them🤞🏻

My book club is reading this for October (spoooky 👻) and some of the folks prefer audiobooks, so I was curious if any of you have a recommendation! I imagine there must be some cool ones out there since its public domain??? But maybe I'm wrong

How do you annotate? I’m keeping the question broad intentionally.
As someone currently powers through books raw, I’d love to get into annotating and would love to hear your methods.

I marked Bury Our Bones as a TBR on here in hopes that my 10 week wait on Libby would magically speed up 😇 In the meantime, I’m excited to see everyone’s (spoiler free) thoughts.

Reaping Day is July 4th??? Did we already know that because I sure didn’t know that

I am rereading my old college copy of Frankenstein and it has a pretty extensive discussion of the different versions available of the book- primarily the original 1818 publication and the 1831 publication. Both were done by Shelley, but they argue that the 1831 shows changes in Shelley's beliefs where she makes changes to remove some of Frankenstein's autonomy to make him seem more of a victim to the way things were destined to be instead of a man making bad choices.
So what are you guys reading? 1818 or 1831?
Obviously 1831 is Shelley's latest version which is a great reason to read what the author intended as the "final" version of the book, but I have seen compelling arguments in favor of 1818.

So far feels like a great book for a white mom who has never considered race in America before. Not a super advanced conversation so far, but still hopeful for more depth in the back half!
