I had an amazing time doing #twowitches this year! Here‘s my total points for the month. Love this and you!
pickDid a readathon with @Lin3han this weekend. Since we both loved Summer Sons, we went with Mandelo‘s new novella, which was dripping in southern gothic. He captures summer in the south soooo well, and his spooky horror has made southern gothic one of my favorite subgenres. I will protect Les and Stevie with my life!!

I completed my goal of 60 books today! Featuring the 3 I‘ve finished this week that I haven‘t reviewed yet! #hauntedshelf #twowitches #goodreads #challenge
pickTold through diary entries, blog posts, newspaper clippings, and historical documents, this book was fascinating from the beginning. Childhood friends turned enemies are trying to write about Illsbeth Clark- a witch who drowned in a well. Is the witchcraft real? Is it the ramblings of mad women? Who murdered Elenor? It went in a different direction than I expected, but I liked the format of entries. ⭐️⭐️⭐️.75

pickOne thing I will die mad about is that I had an indie 1st ed and my boyf‘s cat peed on it 😭 I did toss it and then didn‘t replace it until AFTER Gibson was trad published. My books are Hella protected now believe you me. Anyway, Constanta, marry me? Plz? Thanks.

pickSouthern gothic, folk, and maritime horror. Chapman does it again, still proving to be one of my favorite horror novelists. A search for a lost infant runs awry as Madi, a palm reader (con artist) becomes involved. What Kind Of Mother would abandon a child? What Kind Of Father would bring it back? What Kind Of Mother would stay? The graphic depictions made me nauseous at times. Gory body horror & truly excellent! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #twowitches #hauntedshelf
pickThis book is so violently pink it hurts. But I had a good time! Although if I ever have to read about another woman calling herself an ermine again I might also go insane, I enjoyed a retelling of Macbeth from Lady Macbeth‘s perspective. Having only read The Wolf and the Woodsman from Reid before, I‘m glad the pacing issues I had from that one didn‘t appear here.
