Recent Reads & Listens 

Hello! I'm reviving this little feature too. Here's what I've been reading this week.





I'm nearly finished with both and they're very different from each other and both are very much recommended so far! I'm listening to The Honeys and the narration is excellent.


Link Ups


In an effort to actually be social again in the book blogging world, I'm going to be linking this post up to Caffeinated Reviewer's Sunday Post, The Sunday Salon at Readerbuzz and It's Monday! What Are You Reading at Book Date.  Link yourself up and make some new blogging friends!


Additions to the TBR

I stopped buying books a while ago. Yes, it's true! I subscribed to Kindle Unlimited and simply have too many books in this house that I need to read and too many home projects that need doing to justify spending $ on new ones right now. But I was fortunate to receive a few ARC's in for review. Aren't they pretty?




Recent Watches

Two gems, lemme tell ya 😄



I have useless reviews up at letterbxd if you're dying to learn more:

  ‎‘Gargoyles’ review by Bark • Letterboxd  ⭐⭐

  ‎‘Elvira's Haunted Hills’ review by Bark • Letterboxd ⭐⭐⭐



What's Next (maybe)

I was going to borrow this one from Libby but the wait is 12 weeks and we're reading it for the Horror Spotlight Readalong in November which is . . . happening super soon so I'm going to break down and spend one of my hoarded Audible credits because it sounds worth it.

If you'd like to join in the discussion here is an invite to the Horror Spotlight Readalong discord server: https://discord.gg/FJngTZmvPR.  Every reader is welcome! We read both horror and horror-adjacent works of fiction.



As for books I can hold in my hand? Who knows. I have a stack of arc's (stack above) that are late (yikes) so it may be this one:


or maybe this one?




I'll leave you with a picture of my evil cat. I was hoping I caught the demon leaving his body with this photo but unfortunately it wasn't meant to be and he is still just as naughty as ever 😂





So, what have you all been up to?!

    Yay, social features! You could check the library for These Fleeting Shadows. We are going to start that one mid-month - maybe you'll have more luck getting that one.

Author Feature: Hitting the Cons with Mark Cassell

Image
Today I welcome author Mark Cassell to talk a little bit about hitting the cons. I've never been to a convention but hope to change that one of these days. If you missed my review of Mark's newest work yesterday, Hell Cat of the Holt, please click here to check it out. Hitting the Cons  Over the last few years here in the UK, the comic convention scene has exploded. More venues around the country host them with some fantastic guests giving us the opportunity to meet our heroes, whether from our childhood or present-day. Plus it’s great to see the incredible effort people go to with their costumes, taking the experience of visiting a comicon to a more personal level. Walking the con with pride, these cosplayers become their heroes. Stalls vary from creative-minds to collectable shops. We have artists and authors like myself, prop builders and gamers, clothing and comics and everything between. All of this in a venue charged with an atmosphere impossible to imit...

It's Almost Friday! Awesome Author Alert

Image
How has your week been? Mine's been filled with lovely book surprises like this one in from author Megan Hart. I received an ARC for her latest book from Netgalley and they only sent me a partial book. What is up with that? So I did what I do and I wrote up a complainy   review for the partial book at GR. Megan Hart saw it, sent me a note via Twitter asking me if I'd like to read the whole thing and then she went and sent me all of the below books. How amazingly gracious is she? Especially considering the fact that my review wasn't so great. Look at all this goodness? I cannot wait to dig in after I finish up my review commitments. Where should I start?  I  won a GR Giveaway!  It's been YEARS! I didn't think winners still existed but they DO :)  Here's the proof: Patrick   Takes A Cue from My Latest Book Title   And My Latest Audio in for Revi ew Goes Out & About Has an author ever surprised you ...
