    I adore that this book did not shy away from ACTUALLY making the spider lady a spider. Too many books where they promise a 'monster' but it's just a humanoid who maybe has like horns or a tail or something. That being said, this book was realllyyy simplistic, very bare-bones, and I'm stuck between wishing there was more but also not really caring for the actual plot we were presented with. It has an unpolished diamond in the rough feel to it...

  • What is the weirdest book you own or have read?

    I think mine is The Octunnumi Fosbit Files Prologue… the book had a really cool concept but was SO confusing. But it’s one of the coolest books I have, with pitch black edges, a matte black cover with glossy black detailing, gold embossed lettering, and detailing on each page. I keep it solely due to its aesthetic 😂

    Trying again

    This summer, im retrying to get through this book for the third time. I really enjoy Russian lit but for some reason around page 100 I have to force myself to keep reading and I eventually start reading something else and putting this down. Any encouragement or advice? Or maybe this book is just not for me?

    This was a touching story but it really, really dragged. Although the synopsis claims the plot is that Jonny has to come back to the rez after his step-dad dies and spends time to prepare facing his past/family again, really this entire book is just a collection of memories that he's recalling, and many of them are much the same. It's a very long loop of him recalling being a child, his grandma, his mom, his crush, and then only at the very end of the book does the part of the story which was mentioned in the synopsis happen - and to be honest, it was a bit underwhelming? Idk, I mean I knew that since this is a literary fiction it wouldn't have a definite "plot" per se, but truly this just felt like an essay trying to meet a word count at times.

    I'm incredibly bored. The slow pacing and continuous, non-stop tug of war inside Lenore's mind is throwing me off. Is it just me or does it really drag on like this? 😮‍💨
