#bookspin day! The universe has decided it's time I tackle House of Leaves... I put it on my list bc my toddler chose it off my shelves as my next read (thanks 😅) and it's my #bookspin so we'll give it a crack...
And poor Hidden Cities has gotten shoved aside so many times so I'm glad it's my #doublespin. I have less than 200pgs left, I really need to just finish it.

Thanks @thearomaofbooks !

MatchlessMarie I‘m hoping to get to house of leaves this year too for #allergictochunksters. Good luck! 1mo

llwheeler @MatchlessMarie good luck to you too! 1mo

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Enjoy!! 1mo

LoverOfLearning Took me a good 2 years to read it and I did!! Was a good one! 2w

llwheeler @LoverOfLearning good to know! I've just barely started it so don't really have an opinion yet 2w

LoverOfLearning @llwheeler Definitely a unique reading experience regardless of if you enjoy the plot. Was fun! 2w

Et Tu, Babe | Mark Leyner

so-so

Well… that was something. I have no idea how it landed on my book shelf (but a receipt tucked inside showed that I bought it in 2015).
Definitely felt like a product of its time (the 90s) and maybe had I read it 20 years ago I‘d have been more into it.
It was just ‘meh‘ for me BUT I do get where he was going which …

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

House of Leaves | Mark Z Danielewski

The freefall continues. The blueprint grows. There Might Be Cupcakes Podcast returns to the House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski for the sixth time to discover its roots. If there is no Minotaur, is there no labyrinth? Is it a maze, or a spiral, everything coming around again, mimicking the beginning?

You‘ve been in the dark such a long while. It‘s time. Soon.

Funeral for a Dog: A Novel | Thomas Pletzinger

My baby boy, JuJuB passed on Friday (last week). I have been devastated, and am having such a hard time healing. I spend a lot of my time crying or just zoning out. The schoolwork has been difficult because I feel “eh“. Anyway, I wanted to give yall an update on my MIA status for a little bit. I am not sure how much reading I can focus on.

Thank y'all for your kindness.
