I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

I recently read an article where a congressperson said that if you want to know what it‘s like to work with Trump then read this book. Well then…
It‘s not surprising that a representative would recommend this; like most of them, it‘s just sorta blah. The way it throws ‘psychopath‘ around so freely feels like a misnomer—according to the authors my boss is a psychopath when I‘m pretty sure he‘s just an a****le.
What? No! She couldn't possibly!
Just absolutely spot on horror-satire. Recommending this one to all the unhinged girlies with a twinkle in my eye!
I loved this! It‘s funny and vicious and violent and so tongue in cheek that I couldn‘t stop listening to the audiobook. The author names all the characters the funniest names - Ms. Manners, Mr. Pounds, etc - and it just felt very Dickensian. It‘s also really short and definitely could be read/listened to in a day. Highly recommend! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
What an unhinged governess! Quick horror novella featuring Winifred who is a little more murderous than a governess perhaps should be. I loved the underlying themes of class and what it meant/means to be a woman both in current day and in the past. It‘s just a wonderfully dark ride.
This book was….weird. Which is part of the reason I‘m picking it. It was almost like satirical horror? Is that a thing? Honestly not sure, I‘m not a horror queen myself. Easy to read though, laugh-out-loud in some parts as well! (12)
⭐️: 3.5/5
One of my favorite reads this year!
It's a short little horror read that is gruesome and funny all at the same time. The writing is perfect for this story, and the creepy atmosphere left me unhinged, which I love because it makes the read more intense.
There are lots of triggers in this one, though, so it's definitely not for everyone. But for my fellow horror loving, slightly demented readers, you should read this one. 😁🖤
A quick read full of vivid imagery and gallows humor. The narrator is Winifred Notty, basically a 19th century woman version of Patrick Bateman, whose psychopathy is kinda relatable. lol Classism, sexism, child abandonment, child abuse, child murder, using an outhouse in winter and having to wipe with newspaper, would drive anyone mad, right? Right?! 😉😈
CW: graphic descriptions of violence and murder of animals, babies and children.
