Recent Reads & Listens 

Hello, everyone! I hope you've been reading some good stuff. I'm working on these this week.






Soul Eater is a delightful monster-romance that I'm reading just for me on KU - I am determined to get some use out of KU, Leech is a received-for-review consideration book (and it's a little slow right now but I'm getting through it) and I'm listening to Just Like Home on audio for the Horror Spotlight chat.

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!

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

‎‘Barbarian’ review by Bark • Letterboxd  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

‎‘Popcorn’ review by Bark • Letterboxd  ⭐⭐⭐⭐

‎‘Weird: The Al Yankovic Story’ review by Bark • Letterboxd  ⭐⭐⭐⭐


What's Next (maybe)


This is going to be my next review book but other than that I have NO idea what I'm going to read for fun. I guess it depends which audio holds come in soon!




I'll see you out with my seat-snatching cat Patrick. Have a great week bloglandia!



So, what have you all been up to?!

    Aww sweet Patrick. I'm following you on Letterboxd now. I didn't know that about the Weird Al movie either! Thought it was a documentary. I haven't watched it yet so glad I won't be going into it blind. lol

    Leech and Just Like Home are on my TBR. I watched Barbarian last week and thought it was really good! I need to watch the Weird Al movie, and I haven't heard of Popcorn, but I'll check it out. Have a great week!

    I need to read more books just for me. I have been so focused on review books that I have ignored everything else. Glad to see that you enjoyed Weird. I might have to watch that one.

The Strain by Guillermo del Toro & Chuck Hogan Narrated by Ron Perlman Audiobook   Horror Fiction Released May 2009, Unabridged Amazon  ♦  Goodreads At New York’s JFK Airport, an arriving Boeing 777 taxiing along a runway suddenly stops dead.
