98/100 - We Love You Bunny, Mona Awad - Equal Parts Frankenstein and Velveteen Rabbit, We Love You Bunny discusses what it means to be creator or creation #booksky 💙📚🩸

97/100 - Crafting for Sinners, Jenny Kiefer - Took me a bit to get on board, but this reads like its Temple of Doom but if Temple of Doom was set in Hobby Lobby and that is fun. #booksky 💙📚🩸

96/100 - Goddess of Filth, V. Castro - A coming of age story that just so happens to involve an old sin eating Goddess of retribution #booksky 💙📚🩸

95/100 - Holy Disruptor, Amy Duggar King - Another memoir, Jim Bob Duggar is an evil evil man. #booksky 💙📚

94/100 - Semi Well Adjusted, Alyson Stoner - took a bit of a reading break because of life & work etc so i jumped back in with this very earnest memoir #booksky 💙📚

Read 93/50 - The New Couple in 5B, Lisa Unger - A retelling of Rosemary's Baby, light on the devil stuff - but there's a happy ending? I don't know how I feel about it - i did like that the Guy Woodhouse character winds up dead in the end #booksky 💙📚🩸

Read 92/50 - This Cursed House, Del Sandeen - A debut southern gothic about intergenerational trauma & curses, set on the estate of a Passé Blanc family in New Orleans. I didnt care for the message that forgiveness solves everything including centuries of white supremacy. #booksky 💙📚🩸

September reads: honestly not the greatest month, had a couple of real clunkers in there 💙📚🩸#booksky

Read 91/50 - Play Nice, Rachel Harrison - A haunted house story about grief and how a family's members can all experience that grief and loss differently. #booksky 💙📚🩸

TWENTY FOUR DAYS UNTIL HE COMES HOME #futurecat #devonrex

Read 90/50 - Feeders, Matt Serafini - This book may win my worst book of the year award. I only finished it out of spite really. Theme: Social Media Bad, the writing was sloppy and juvenile and all over the place. #booksky 💙📚🩸

Crochet finish! Riverdale cushions! My basset loves them #crochet 🧶

Read 89/50 - The Saturday Night Ghost Club, Craig Davidson - My least favorite trope in horror is "The Real Horror is Mental Illness" and I spent this whole book just waiting for the real spooky stuff to start #booksky 💙📚

Read 85/50 - Haunt Sweet Home, Sarah Pinsker - fun little novella about being haunted while faking a haunting for reality tv #booksky 💙📚

Read 84/50 - Rouge, Mona Awad - A dark Snow White story about grief and envy and mothers and rich weirdos, all the stuff I love #booksky 💙📚

Read 83/50 - Death in the Downline, Maria Abrams - A novel about the desperation and poison of MLMs n a cozy mystery format. It was a fun, easy read. Ends with a parody of the Bon Jovi classic, Living on a Prayer! #booksky 💙📚

Latest Make: Riverdale Cushion, Paintbox Cotton DK #crochet 🧶

Read 82/50 - A House with Good Bones, T Kingfisher - This book was ... fine? A haunted house story, quick read but I think that was the problem? Probably could have given me 100 more pages to get me more invested. #booksky 💙📚🩸

New Project Alert! Riverdale Cushion #crochet 🧶

Not book related: He’s got some real big shoes to fill, but there’s a new baby on the way! We’ll be bringing him home in October #devonrex #futurecat

Read 81/50 Harriet Tubman Live in Concert - Bob the Drag Queen - This has been sitting on my shelf since release, but I waited for the audiobook because I wanted to hear Bob read it. I hope that Bob eventually brings this to the stage because the book was such a quick but good read. #booksky 💙📚

Read 80/50 The Disco Witches of Fire Island, Blair Fell - My last book about groovy witches wound up being much darker & more bleak than I anticipated, so I was worried given the subject matter this was going to be the same, but it was all about being joyful in during times of darkness #booksky 💙📚

Saw a similar post a whole back that I wanted to change because it originally said "coffee" and as a tea person, I simply cannot relate. #booksky #readsky #writesky #teasky #tea #goodmorning

So I am a pretty new crochet person, and my current project is a lot more delicate than I have ever worked before - the hook im using is 1.5mm - its a cheapie I got off Amazon and I HATE it. So crochet people, what's your favorite smaller hook brand? #crochet 🧶

I finished my Mystical Lanterns afghan! #crochet 🧶

Read 79/50 - This Might Hurt, Stephanie Wrobel: Another cult thriller, this one explores the relationships of sisters, and the ways our siblings shape us and hurt us in ways nobody else can. #booksky 💙📚

Read 78/50 - The Return, Rachel Harrison - Well, this was definitely a book that I read. The set up was fine, but the plot didn't make complete sense to me, and the character development was shallow and I didn't really care a whole lot about the characters. #booksky 💙📚🩸

Read 77/50 - Natural Beauty, Ling Ling Huang - I'm loving the horror novels I've been reading this year about the beauty industry - this one is a fast paced body horror exploring white beauty standards, consumerism, and my favorite theme of "rich people are weird and evil" #booksky 💙📚🩸

Current WIP: Mystical Lanterns throw #crochet 🧶

Read 76/50 - The God of the Woods, Liz Moore - the things i liked - the lush narrative and setting. The author is very good at immersing the reader in a time and place. The things i didn't - i felt like it didn't give me enough about the characters I cared about #booksky 💙📚

Read 76/50 - The Dropouts, Liv Parkinson: This audiobook has everything! Dark Academia, sketchy university drug research, psychedelics made from cat earwax called Catnip, maladjusted adolescent artists, generational trauma and mental illness, and a trepanation count of 1.5! #booksky 💙📚🩸

Read 70/50 Dungeon Crawler Carl, Matt Dinneman - The Lug has been bugging me to read this one for a while & it didn't disappoint. Even if LitRPG isn't your genre, this is a genuinely fun & well-written adventure. Get the audiobook! Narrator Jeff Hays makes this story so much more! #booksky 💙📚

Read 49/50 The Ballad of Perilous Graves - This book captures the real magic of New Orleans & that’s the stories we tell, generation to generation. It’s an adventure in the style of classic children’s adventure novels like Pippi Longstocking told by someone who knows & loves New Orleans #booksky

Experiments in Miniaturization #crochet 🧶

Read 37/50: Church Camp,Cara Meredith - I didn’t necessarily disagree with the author’s viewpoints, but found this a very shallow exploration of evangelical culture presented with no real solutions #booksky 💙📚

Read 36/50 - All Hallows, Christopher Golden - A classic boogeyman story set amongst the secrets and drama of suburbia on Halloween, 1984. Super fast, easy read #boosky💙📚🩸

Read 35/50: A/S/L, Jeanne Thornton - As someone who was among the first weirdos to grow up online, and sit in irc rooms and talk endlessly about video games and nothing at all, this coming of age novel gave me all the warm fuzzies #booksky 💙📚

33/50 Curdle Creek, Yvonne Battle-Felton : This odyssean folk horror uses rich world building and character development to explore what tradition and family gives us and what they take #booksky 💙📚🩸

Read 29: Inside Mari 1&2, Shuzo Oshimi - My first foray into manga! Japanese culture is so hyper-gendered, its interesting to see a discussion of gender from there. Also the vulnerability of the author in the postscripts is suprising and charming #booksky 💙📚

Read 28/50: Strange Houses, Uketsu - I had high hopes for this one, the voice of the author still is great, but the leaps in logic and wild theories that are thrown out there & then treated as fact, makes you miss some of the magic and perfection of Strange Pictures #booksky 💙📚

Not Book Related: I made a market bag! #crochet

Read 27/50: Such Lovely Skin, Tatiana Schlote-Bonne - fast paced YA read about grief and regret, but also demons and doppelgangers. Also there's a fair amount of nerdy stuff written by someone who actually knows about that nerdy stuff. So that is cool. #booksky 💙📚

Read 26/50: Dearest, Jacquie Walters: A fever dream of mothers and daughters, grief, body horror, post-partum depression and the alienation of early motherhood #booksky 💙📚
