Happy Weekend! I am terrible at photo prompts, but Happy Weekend! I am terrible at photo prompts, but this one is special. Today is the first day of #100daysofHalloweenHappy —can you believe it’s 100 days away? 👻 I love this #photochallenge so much because #Halloween is the best day of the year. The fall weather, boots and jackets, and all those fall flavors! Apple donuts are my fav! Today’s prompt is a SELFIE + 3 FACTS. Sounds easy enough, so here we go… 1. I never had cats until I became an adult. 2. The first horror movie I ever watched was The Exorcist. The first horror novel I read was Stephen King’s The Shining. The first true crime book I read was Small Sacrifice by Ann Rule. All at the ages of 6, 7, & 8. 3. I have been diagnosed with ADHD and OCD, which means my brain is organized chaos. I can’t manage a photo prompt everyday (see fact #3), but hopefully I’ll do a few more. Tell me a fact about yourself? 👻👻 Thanks @halloweenhappy for such a fun photo challenge! —- #facefriday #meetthebookstagrammer #shereadswithcats #shelfie #horrorfiction #halloweenforever #reading #readingtime #bookstagram #bookblog #bookshelf #bookish #lovebooks #booklove #bookreview #bookrecommendations #readmorebooks #readhorror #horrorbooks #coolgirlsread #badassbookbabes
Another day, another book recommendation. I guaran Another day, another book recommendation. I guarantee that S.A. Cosby’s RAZORBLADE TEARS will be one of the best books you’ll read all year. I devoured BLACKTOP WASTELAND, but RAZORBLADE TEARS knocked me on my ass. In the words of the great Stephen King, “Cosby is the real deal”. He’s an ingenious storyteller. I don’t know how he does it, but I was fully invested in the characters, deep into the story, and all the while raced through the pages. Cosby writes a gritty, visceral, and emotional story of revenge. And yes, there is violence, but there’s also a lot of heart. There has never been a title more suited for its book than RAZORBLADE TEARS. This is an action-packed heartbreaker of a story. It cut me, it cut me bad. Check out the synopsis and tell me if you plan to pick this one up 👇🏻 Ike Randolph has been out of jail for fifteen years, with not so much as a speeding ticket in all that time. But a Black man with cops at the door knows to be afraid. The last thing he expects to hear is that his son Isiah has been murdered, along with Isiah’s white husband, Derek. Ike had never fully accepted his son but is devastated by his loss. Derek’s father Buddy Lee was almost as ashamed of Derek for being gay as Derek was ashamed of his father's criminal record. Buddy Lee still has contacts in the underworld, though, and he wants to know who killed his boy. Ike and Buddy Lee, two ex-cons with little else in common other than a criminal past and a love for their dead sons, band together in their desperate desire for revenge. In their quest to do better for their sons in death than they did in life, hardened men Ike and Buddy Lee will confront their own prejudices about their sons and each other, as they rain down vengeance upon those who hurt their boys. — #bookreview #novels #crimefiction #razorbladetears #sacosby #flatironbooks #bookstagram #bookblog #booklove #lovebooks #booksandbooks #reader #booksbooksbooks #igreads #instabooks #bookshelf #bookfeature #readingtime #nightwormschallenge #readinglife #bookish #bibliophile #booknerd #shereadswithcats #summerreads #fallonsummerreads
Thank you @delreybooks for my free copy #prhpartne Thank you @delreybooks for my free copy #prhpartner Happy Pub Day to @chuck_wendig’s THE BOOK OF ACCIDENTS. I read this 544 page book a few months ago and I’M STILL SHOOK. I never stopped reading to take notes (rookie mistake 🤦🏼‍♀️) because I was too immersed in the story. I’m going back through the book now to take notes for my upcoming detailed review. Be sure to watch this space 👀 So, just know this is one of my favorite books of the year. Absolute fucking perfection *chef’s kiss* ___ #thebookofaccidents #chuckwendig #delreybooks #bookreview #horrorfiction #booksbooksbooks #shereadswithcats #bookrecommendations #pubday #bookstagram #books #fiction #read #reader #booksandbooks #bookish #igreads #instabook #coolgirlsread #bibliophile #bookblog #readmorebooks
One hundred million stars for the adaptation of St One hundred million stars for the adaptation of Stephen King’s LISEY’S STORY. The ending was perfect in every way. Julianne Moore and Clive Owen were outstanding. I was mesmerized by the beautiful imagery and the emotion behind every scene. SO GOOD. From what I’ve heard it helps to have some knowledge of the book going in. That’s not necessarily my opinion, but it could be why the feedback for this show is so divisive. I can only speak for myself and say I LOVED IT. What is your favorite #StephenKing adaptation? My favs are LISEY’S STORY, Misery, Dolores Claiborne, The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, IT, Carrie, The Mist, The Shining (I know I know, but it was branded into my soul before I knew the truth), Doctor Sleep, 11/22/63, Secret Window, and Stand by Me. —- #stephenkingbooks #liseysstory #reader #constantreader #stephenkingfan #shereadswithcats #photooftheday #fictionlover #bookster #bookstagram #coolgirlsread #booksandbooks #bookshelf #bookblog #novels #horrorfan #horrorfiction #bookrecommendations

Who’s excited to pick their next read?!! 🙋🏼‍♀️ Thanks so much to the tagged publishers for the free #books Marcus and I ordered in some takeout and we are watching Dr. Death on @peacocktv. Do you know this case?! It’s wild! I listened to the podcast awhile back (thanks @crimebythebook) and it was astounding that a doctor went full on sociopath. The things that went wrong are reprehensible.

#BookReview for HUMAN-SHAPED FIENDS by @chandler.m #BookReview for HUMAN-SHAPED FIENDS by @chandler.morrison “INCEST: CHECK. Drug abuse: Check. Damaged youth: Check. What I’m doing is checking boxes, trying to fulfill whatever it is I think readers expect when they pick up a Chandler Morrison novel.” The #splatterwestern series put out by @deaths_head_press has won over my bloody-loving, black heart. Each #book is written by a different author, so there is never a dull or “been there, done that” moment. And #ChandlerMorrison goes to another dimension with his version of a western. He went full on fucking meta! In one of the interlude chapters, he casually mentions to friends at a book launch party that he’s going meta much like Kaufman’s Adaptation. It doesn’t get any better than that. Morrison’s character in his own story struggles to write this very splatter western, and he’s on a deadline. You read the story, but the author provides interludes of said struggle in between chapters, as well as feedback from the people in his life. BRILLIANT. *chefs kiss* I kept reading sections of the book to my husband, which I NEVER DO. I went from chuckle mode to laugh-my-ass-off mode as I continued reading. Morrison is most definitely a “satirist”, but I have to disagree with him on one thing. He absolutely writes horror. He’s an intelligent writer, and masterful at crafting scenes with extreme gore and gross sexual conquests. I have no idea how he manages to succeed with such disgusting acts, all the while keeping the #reader engaged, but it just works. I mean he literally writes about two of the most vile things a human can do when left alone to their own depravity and made me laugh as I read about it. I especially enjoyed the nods to his “fans” as he stayed on brand. I #read HUMAN-SHAPED FIENDS at lightening speed. I couldn’t wait to read what happened in 1854 Los Angeles, but even more so, I couldn’t get enough of Morrison’s narrative. Also, just real quick I want to say…(um, come closer so you can hear me)….”It’s Chandler, Bitch!” Consider this entire review a trigger warning. Have you ever read #autofiction before? If so, which book?! Special thanks to the @night_worms and @deaths_head_press for my copy.
Thank you @quirkbooks for this #boxedset of MISS Thank you @quirkbooks for this #boxedset of MISS PEREGRINE’S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN #prhpartner Do you all have a favorite small business? One of mine is @livelyghosts! And just to give you some perspective: I hate taking photos of anything besides books, mugs, and typewriters. I cannot handle pins, spoons, stickers, etc, BUT Lindsay’s shop is so beautiful, and I feel very lucky to be a brand ambassador. She has incredible talent, quality product, and excellent customer service 👻 Does this spoon put you in a spooky mood?

#BookReview time! Thank you so much @night_worms #BookReview time! Thank you so much @night_worms and @cemeterygatesm for my review copy. “Facts are harder to swallow than knives, and just as sharp and painful. The facts are here, in this assortment of macabre offerings that litter the ground. Each one feeds into the next, each one a stain. With each passing offering I grow ever closer to the discovery that’s sheltered and nestled deep within – the filthy secret and stain that remains. The secret of what it truly took to kill a child.” Consider the above quote your “proceed with caution” warning for ONLY THE STAINS REMAIN by @rossjefferyauthor. This is an unapologetic story of child abuse, so to say it is dark would be an insult to your intelligence. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but this feels different from other horrific child abuse stories I’ve read. Much like the late great Jack Ketchum, Jeffery writes the most uncomfortable scenes that are difficult to read, but somehow keeps you engaged. The writing is raw, honest, and shows respect for the delicate subject matter. We follow two siblings, Jude and his older brother, Kyle. They had a loving relationship with their mother, as well as each other, but just after she passed away, the monsters she kept at bay their entire life, arrive. Their three uncles are the literal translation of what it is to be a monster. And their father, the worst offender, let the uncles have unrestricted access to the boys’ innocence. ONLY THE STAINS REMAIN took me down a notch, but I have to admit it was mostly because of Kyle. There was something extraordinary about him and he has a permanent place in my broken heart. What is an evocative book that has impacted you the most? —- #shereadswithcats #bookstagram #promotehorror #horrorfiction #cemeterygatesmedia #readmorebooks #novels #booksandbooks #reader #readersofinstagram #horrorcommunity #bookrecommendations #bookishlove #booksbooksbooks #horrorbookstagram #readingtime #reading #books #bookshelf #onlythestainsremain #booksareessential #readingislife #bookaddict #bookaholic

My dude Brandon Crawford hit the only home run and they won 10-4. Woohoo 🎉 On another note, who loves #truecrime all day long like I do? I seriously cannot get enough of it. THE ULTIMATE EVIL by Maury Terry is about the Son of Sam case back in the 70s and I am here for it. There is also a @netflix #docuseries that I cannot wait to check out.

Do you like #bookclubs and buddy reads?! I love th Do you like #bookclubs and buddy reads?! I love them, but sometimes I start too late or too early. I’m a total binge reader, which makes discussing the book as we are reading a bit difficult 😂 I usually discuss a book after I finish it or after I review it 🤷🏼‍♀️ My friend Tav over at @readswithdogs started a semi-new #bookclub and I am her new assistant 😂 I always love Tav’s picks, so it just made sense to work together. #ThrillsAndChillsBookClub covers all manner of dark and stabby reads. Plus, #SheReadswithCats and #ReadswithDogs were destined to join forces 👯‍♀️🖤 This month we are #reading MADAM by Phoebe Wynne, which looks ahhhh-mazing. How ‘bout it? Any of you want to #readalong with us this month? 🙋🏼‍♀️ Also, don’t forget we are reading Taylor Adams’ HAIRPIN BRIDGE for #BuddyReadsToDieFor and there is an IG Live at the end month ✌🏻 Synopsis: For 150 years, high above rocky Scottish cliffs, Caldonbrae Hall has sat untouched, a beacon of excellence in an old ancestral castle. A boarding school for girls, it promises that the young women lucky enough to be admitted will emerge “resilient and ready to serve society.” Into its illustrious midst steps Rose Christie: a 26-year-old Classics teacher, Caldonbrae’s new head of the department, and the first hire for the school in over a decade. It doesn’t take long for Rose to suspect that there’s more to the secret circumstances surrounding the abrupt departure of her predecessor--a woman whose ghost lingers everywhere--than anyone is willing to let on. In her search for this mysterious former teacher, Rose instead uncovers the darkness that beats at the heart of Caldonbrae, forcing her to confront the true extent of the school’s nefarious purpose, and her own role in perpetuating it.

Happy #Caturday kittens! 👀 “Let's talk, you Happy #Caturday kittens! 👀 “Let's talk, you and I. Let's talk about fear.” What author did you read as a child where you knew they were going to impact your #reading life all the rest of your days? For me, it was #StephenKing 👀 I knew when I first stole my mom’s copy of THE SHINING, that I would love him forever, and I wasn’t wrong. He’s prolific and a genius storyteller with memorable characters. NIGHT SHIFT is one of the best #shortstory collections I’ve ever read. And this #MMPB is my favorite edition 👀 “She was thinking about how quietly you could grow to depend on a person, almost like a junkie with a habit.” #NightShift #Horror #HorrorBooks #HorrorFiction #PromoteHorror #StephenKingBooks #BooksBooksBooks #ShortStories #FictionLover #BookLover #Book #Bookstagram #StephenKingFan #IGReads #Catstagram #Cat #Books #BooksandCats #Cats #Reading #SheReadswithCats #Reader #Bookish #BookLife #CatLife 🏷
✨ SURVIVE THE NIGHT ✨ @duttonbooks #prhpartner ✨ SURVIVE THE NIGHT ✨ @duttonbooks #prhpartner If you’ve been following me for awhile now, then you know my love of @riley.sager books. From FINAL GIRLS to SURVIVE THE NIGHT, I have devoured them all, and I will keep coming back for more! And as always, I will forever be grateful to my friend, the gorgeous Abby, aka @crimebythebook, for starting me out on this obsession with my first ever free publisher book, FINAL GIRLS. #QuickTake - SURVIVE THE NIGHT is the perfect summer read! Although I am a definite year-round #RileySager reader, it pairs well with being on a beach sipping a daiquiri. The story is gripping, suspenseful, and propulsive. I could not put it down, nor did I want to. Let’s just say, I had a blast reading it. I am kicking myself that I didn’t order a signed copy because I am obsessed with Mr. Sager and all his talent. What’s the verdict?

✨ BOOK PUSHER ✨ #PenguinTeenPartner #PRHpartne ✨ BOOK PUSHER ✨ #PenguinTeenPartner #PRHpartner Do you consider yourself an Influencer? I never even thought about the term. I started my #Bookstagram on a whim when I read a #book I loved and needed a place to share it. You know the feeling, right? But now looking back, I guess I could technically be called an influencer. I enthusiastically PUSH BOOKS onto people. Nothing gets me more excited than when I read a great story and I want the #bookish world to know about it. I like what I do, because #reading is my happy place. And what’s even more fun is finding other #readers to connect with. I cannot stress this enough, I am not fancy. I have a creative outlet that I put a great deal of thought into, but I cannot handle being structured, and props frighten me 😂 What makes being a #bookblogger fun is staying true to myself and focusing on what I love most, #BOOKS - also, #CATS of course 😉 I’d love to know what #BookstagramMadeMeDoIt book you bought recently. Drop it in the comments below 👇🏻 Thank you so much @penguinteen for sending me a copy of #YoureSoDead by @ashparsons and scroll ⬅️ to see the adorable #sunglasses that came with! YOU’RE SO DEAD is a zombie apocalyptic horror novel and I AM HERE FOR IT. Take a 👀 at the synopsis in the comments 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
✨ BOOK REVIEW ✨ thank you @doubledaybooks for ✨ BOOK REVIEW ✨ thank you @doubledaybooks for my review copy #prhpartner BATH HAUS, I’m just going to say it, is one of my favorite thrillers of the year. I love domestic thrillers, but they can get repetitive at times, but Vernon really surprised me! We meet a beautiful, loving, everything-seems-to-be-perfect couple, Oliver Park and Nathan Klein. These two couldn’t be more different as Nathan is much older and a trauma surgeon from a well-to-do family, whereas Oliver, well…isn’t. They live happily in Washington DC, but when Nathan goes out of town for a conference, Oliver decides to step out for the night. He goes to HAUS, a local gay bathhouse, to have anonymous sex, but once the encounter happens, things get scary real fast. Oliver barely makes it out, and unfortunately for him there are marks to prove it. How can he explain this to Nathan without incriminating himself? Well, what else can he do but lie. BATH HAUS is a dark, sexy, stylish, and twisty thriller. I mean, holy hell was it good. The story moves quickly as the narrative is taut, super tense, and clever as f*ck. The characterization is excellent and the mystery is top notch. Lies tend to find a way to surface, and I love what Vernon does there. We go through a sinister path from gaslighting to murder, and it’s too damn fun. Also, the cover is hot pink perfection! ✨ @pjvernonbooks ✨ Have YOU read this one? If not, add this to your #TBR right now!
✨ BOOKSHELF SUNDAY ✨ If there is one book you ✨ BOOKSHELF SUNDAY ✨ If there is one book you could get signed by the author, what would it be?
