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.

Hello, everyone! I hope you found some time to read last week or were at least able to take some time for yourself.  Recent Reads & Listens  I still have an arc or two to finish up and then I'm reading purely for me. New books, old books, books that catch my eye. If I don't like them I'll be free to toss them. Ahhh, the freedom. Here's what I've finished recently: Clicking on a cover will open a new window to my review if you'd like to read it. ⭐⭐ ⭐⭐ 1/2 ⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Additions to the TBR I found nearly new copies of The Wicked King & The Queen of Nothing by Holly Black inside one of the Little Free Libraries last week, so I grabbed them not realizing they were books #2 & #3 in The Folk of Air series.
