My Book Corner



Here's my little book corner where I go to hide away from the world. Do you have one? My house is small and cramped full of people and beasties so this is all I've got for now until we finish the basement. I hope to spend at least a little of the weekend here, probably with a beast or two demanding attention and knocking my book out of my hands, in between getting some sun.

I have no clue what I'll be reading next but let's hope it's something awesome. Maybe this one because that cover is calling my name.


What are you all up to?

    I live in a two bedroom house filled with books, dvds and my dad's cd collection! Space is non existant! I'd love to have that book corner! I don't have space anywhere for a comfy chair which is what I'd really love so I just have to read either in my computer chair or on my bed! Today I'll be cheering on my team as we battle relegation so that'll be a nervous afternoon following it on Twitter...

      Ah, your dad sounds a lot like my husband.He doesn't let go of anything! His side of the room is filled with his clutter. It makes me crazy.

    Very cute! Love the pops of color :D LOL on the beasties. Yes, that's how it is here, too. They always help read. I just read in bed these days :)

      The cats think it's for them and fight over who gets the pillow.

    I love your reading corner! I don't have one certain spot to read. I tend to read in the living room on the end of the couch quite a bit but I also lay in my bed and read. I have a bunch of bookcases in one of the bedrooms along with a couch and my computer so sometimes I am in there. It just depends on what is going on in my house. Thanks for sharing!

      That sounds like a great setup, Carole. I'd love to have a private library where I could hang out away from the noise of the rest of the house.

    That looks like a comfy chair. I read outside in the sun as often as I can. That's my favorite.

      I love that too. It's so peaceful with the birds and the fresh air but our weather is crappy for six out of 12 months :(

      Thanks, Kristen. It's in the living room though so not entirely ideal.

Horror Film Friday Returns with The Other Side of the Door

If you're new here, please know that my film reviews are crap and never to be taken seriously because I do not take notes and my memory is an unreliable thing but if you're okay with that, well, here's another! click on pic to rent/buy it yourownself Laurie from The Walking Dead stars as a suicidal, grieving mom. A terrible accident forced her to make a terrible choice that left her young son dead and she is not coping well. Still-sexy Jeremy Sisto plays the dad who seems to be coping with the death of their little boy by becoming a workaholic. He scours India looking for antiques that he resells for loads of money.

Review: Flowers for the Sea by Zin E. Rocklyn

Image
Go get yourself this book! It's out today. Flowers for the Sea by Zin E. Rocklyn Published October 19, 2021 Dark Fiction   |   Goodreads   |   Amazon   |  Bookshop Flowers for the Sea is a dark, dazzling debut novella that reads like Rosemary's Baby by way of Octavia E. Butler. We are a people who do not forget. Survivors from a flooded kingdom struggle alone on an ark. Resources are scant, and ravenous beasts circle. Their fangs are sharp. Among the refugees is Iraxi: ostracized, despised, and a commoner who refused a prince, she’s pregnant with a child that might be more than human. Her fate may be darker and more powerful than she can imagine. Zin E. Rocklyn’s extraordinary debut is a lush, gothic fantasy about the prices we pay and the vengeance we seek. My 2 Cents For Free! If you follow the bookish people on social media, I bet you’ve seen people praising this book here, there, and everywhere. There’s a reason fo...
