SUNDAY VIBES Thank you @fsgbooks and @mcdbooks fo SUNDAY VIBES Thank you @fsgbooks and @mcdbooks for the #giftedbooks ✨ One of the things I love about #FSGbooks and #MCDbooks is the range of genres. The common denominator is #literaturefiction but there is everything from horror to science fiction to westerns. Have you #read any of these? I can confidently recommend them all ✨ #shereadswithcats #bookstagram #bookshelf #booksbooksbooks #bibliophile #bookrecommendations #bookblogger #bookreview #cozyvibes #lovebooks #ilovebooks #booklover #trulylikelightning #middlesex #severance #thedaysofafrekete #belletrist #reader #belletristbabe #thisthingbetweenus #ghostwall #girlone #luster #crossroads #fiction
Happy Thursday! I’ll keep this short and sweet! Happy Thursday! I’ll keep this short and sweet! Thank you to @tornightfire for this free copy. #SUNDIAL by @catward66 is a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read! It comes out on March 1, 2022, and mark my words, you need to preorder this baby now! Rob is a wife and mother, married to Irving, with their two daughters, twelve-year-old Callie, and nine-year-old Annie. They witness some very disturbing behavior by Callie. Rob comes up with the idea to take Callie back to her childhood home deep in the Mojave Desert, a compound called SUNDIAL. Rob hopes this time away will help Callie deal with her demons. But Callie isn’t the only darkness in this family. There is much to learn here. I don’t want to say more, because much like THE LAST HOUSE ON NEEDLESS STREET it’s best to go in blind. Ward has quickly become a favorite author of mine and I’m already anxious to read more of her work. Also, if you haven’t read THE LAST HOUSE ON NEEDLESS STREET, run, don’t walk to get yourself a copy! It’s the perfect book to tide you over until SUNDIAL comes out! The moral of this caption is read anything #CatrionaWard writes. She’s brilliant. What is a new favorite author you’ve discovered?! ✨✨✨ 🏷 #tornightfire #shereadswithcats #read #reader #bookreview #bookstagram #books #booksbooksbooks #bibliophile #booksofinstagram #horrorfiction #horrorbookstagrammer #bookblogger
What is your favorite decade to revisit? Mine is a What is your favorite decade to revisit? Mine is always the 1980s. It’s the decade I grew up in and it has a fun, colorful personality. The #80s shaped my music, movie, and style tastes. I believe some of the best coming-of-age stories and literary characters came out of the 80s. There is no other time like it, except maybe the early 90s *wink* 💋 What is your favorite time to revisit?! Thank you so much @rdspress for this copy of ATTACK FROM THE 80s edited by Eugene Johnson (Bram Stoker Award-winning editor). Swipe ⬅️ to see the TOTALLY RAD list of authors! Some of my VERY favorites have stories in this book 🤘🏻❤️‍🔥
Happy Saturday! Its #NonfictionNovemeber and I hav Happy Saturday! Its #NonfictionNovemeber and I have some great #bookmail for you. Thank you very much to the tagged publishers. #giftedbooks I finally read YOUR’S CRUELLY, ELVIRA by @therealelvira and loved it! Thanks for recommending it @findingmontauk1! And I just started SLONIM WOODS 9 by Daniel Barban Levin so I can discuss it with @spookishmommy. Also, I picked up THE RIGHT SEX by Amia Srinivasan because I saw @literary_thrills talking about it. I think I might read the Patricia Highsmith biography next! Anyone else really excited about the VC Andrew biography coming out? I believe it’s called THE WOMAN BEYOND THE ATTIC. What #nonfiction are you excited to read this month?! 📚👀

11/22/63 by STEPHEN KING What an incredible book. 11/22/63 by STEPHEN KING What an incredible book. A perfect way to honor an historic day. 11/22/63 is a multilayered story. King does what he does best, which is write compelling fiction and characters you’re invested in. And only King can rewrite history more than once and it somehow just works. This is an 800+ page book, but it never lulls. Also, fun fact: Jake and Sadie happen to be my favorite King couple. Theirs is a heartbreaking story that somehow warms my heart. I think it’s almost time for a reread. Has anyone listened to the audiobook? I love rereading books that way. 🏷🏷🏷 #112263 #stephenking #constantreader #stephenkingbooks #stephenkingfan #readmorebooks #booksbooksbooks #shelfie #bookshelf #jakeandsadie #literature #fictionbooks #fiction #books #bookstagram #bookrecommendations #shereadswithcats #ilovebooks #lovebooks #jfk #historicalfiction #bookish #booknerd
#NonfictionNovemeber is in full swing, so here is #NonfictionNovemeber is in full swing, so here is the #nonfiction #bookshelf in my library. I also have another two bookcases in my living room of mostly music memoirs and art books. There is really no rhyme or reason to the books facing forward, but I randomly like to pick out books to inspire me. See any books you love?

Today was a day! I am so glad to be cozied up with Today was a day! I am so glad to be cozied up with a good book. Thank you so much @mcdbooks for sending this my way #giftedbook THIS THING BETWEEN US by Gus Moreno is a fun and fantastic read! It’s a thriller that involves technology similar to an Alexa. Really that’s all you need to know. But here are some authors I admire and respect that blurbed it perfectly. Check them out… "The worst kind of grief, technology that activates all your paranoia, and a line between madness and sanity that's so blurry as to not even matter. Hold on, this isn't a ride, it's a slide, and it doesn't care whether you're ready or not.” - Stephen Graham Jones "You won't be able to guess where Gus Moreno's cool, weird journey is taking you. Funny, scary, and utterly heartbreaking.” - Andy Davidson "An existentially frightening book. Count me as a fan." - Paul Tremblay What do you think? Is this one on your list?
Four fantastic #bookrecommendations for you! Thank Four fantastic #bookrecommendations for you! Thank you @doubledaybooks for my free copy of #NIGHTBITCH by @raijoy. Have you read this yet?! Oh my goodness, it’s fantastic! Read the description below and tell me what you think 👇🏻 👀 Synopsis: An ambitious mother puts her art career on hold to stay at home with her newborn son, but the experience does not match her imagination. Two years later, she steps into the bathroom for a break from her toddler's demands, only to discover a dense patch of hair on the back of her neck. In the mirror, her canines suddenly look sharper than she remembers. Her husband, who travels for work five days a week, casually dismisses her fears from faraway hotel rooms. As the mother's symptoms intensify, and her temptation to give in to her new dog impulses peak, she struggles to keep her alter-canine-identity secret. Seeking a cure at the library, she discovers the mysterious academic tome which becomes her bible, A Field Guide to Magical Women: A Mythical Ethnography, and meets a group of mommies involved in a multilevel-marketing scheme who may also be more than what they seem.

Thank YOU so much!!! I AM NOT WHO YOU THINK I AM by Eric Rickstad sounds so good! The main character, Wayland, comes home to find his father has committed suicide and there is a disturbing note, “I am not who you think I am”. OoOooOo sounds intense and I am here for it!

I missed #Caturday yesterday, but look at this cut I missed #Caturday yesterday, but look at this cute photo of Mia anyway. She’s my alien kitten. I heart her. GRAVE RESERVATIONS by Cherie Priest is a quirky mystery starring a psychic travel agent and a police detective, who team up to solve a cold case. It’s cozy and cute with entertaining characters, so if this sounds like your cup of tea, pick it up! Special thank you to @atriabooks for the review copy. So who’s ready for Monday?! 👀
