I missed reading, but also I was having trouble finding a book. I kept dropping them, bit found something with Faith Hick’s name on it that I hadn’t read yet and, well, I was a comic person for a very long time so might as well! The story follows two… Read More »Brain Camp review
Finally, I went into the book having read the blurb so I knew what I was getting into! Unfortunately, the blurb seems to have been written for a different book than the one I read. Maybe the author didn’t get any say in it? Who knows. This is essentially three… Read More »Boy, Snow, Bird review
Today is another lesson in I need to actually read the description. Actually, in this case I need to read the full title because this did not end up being what I expected.

Something cute, light, and featuring an octopus. The story primarily… Read More »Remarkably Bright Creatures review
Back to some fiction and one of those books that I’m pretty sure I got on concept and title alone. I may have heard someone say something about it and it really does sound right up my alley from the concept alone. We follow [name], a young woman who is… Read More »We Have Always Lived in the Castle review
For the first time in what feels like ages, I have read a book that I actually sought out intentionally! A lot of people with Long Covid have recommended the book as something to help with the breathwork and tangentially the lowering heart rate stuff that we need to do… Read More »Breath review
You know, I’m starting to get more into horror. I didn’t used to seek it out that much, but I’ve been really enjoying these spooky reads lately. Even if not everything about these books is hitting for me. We follow Daisy, a young woman who moves to a mansion that… Read More »Delicious Monsters review
