This book was so well done that I'm questioning all my other five star reviews. This reset the bar for an incredibly well written, creepy AF horror story.

Who knew sand could be so creepy? A very effective haunted house book. Slightly annoyed by the "magical Black women" trope except she really was a great character.
What happened last night seems as unspeakable as money or a fart.
My friend wrote this beautiful poetry.
So creepy and a bit gory plus some horrific humans-turned-monsters. One of those Sheryl Jackson-esque horrors where you don't quite get everything wrapped up for you. It's unsettling but thought-provoking, this book will stay with you for a while after you finish. Great character development, amazing world building (wear a sweater, it'll make you cold) and a riveting play on the quarantine trope.
Lines like this are why this book is just so fun to read.
Been looking forward to this one. Perfect for a snowy day.
Wearing a garment just nine months longer reduces its carbon footprint by 20-30%.
I love this book. It's not about a digital detox, it's about how your attention is being commodified and the best way to take it back. It's about the philosophy of real life community versus online yelling. It's not a guilt trip and it doesn't make you feel like you're bad if you still use social media, but it gives you ideas about how to balance your online presence with real people because that's the only way things really change and grow.
We only celebrate the "bad mom" when she's going something amusingly wrong like baking terrible cupcakes.
Memoirs from mother's who are honest about the ups and downs of motherhood are my jam right now. Definitely helping me in my journey as a mom.
Queer young adult fiction is my favorite. This book was lovely, fun and cute.
This was a freaking adorable book. Reminded me of my trip to France when I was a teenager and how much it meant to me and my developing identity.

Already really digging this book.
So excited to start this.
The arrival of women, of half of humanity to culture, is one of the greatest revolutions of our era of revolutions.
Really interesting story. Heavy but important history.
Fascinating to learn about deathcare around the world. I wanted more, I'm sure there are other stories from other cultures to tell.
I must read this. They have to get married to get him in the country, childless by choice.
I resolved to read poetry this year and man, I picked a great place to start. I'm glad this is assigned reading, I might have to buy it to read again. People need to work so much harder to dismantle our racist society. We need to read these books so we see what consequences our actions have.
A great audio book. Can be a little hard to get through when he jokes about suicide. Also, so much sexism.
I can't put this book down!! It's amazing. T the characters are all awful people and I just want to know what actually happened!!
Unique story telling that really grabs you. I can't put it down.
I can't stop. Even though it's so tragic.
I think I'm about to give up on this one. It's really good but so difficult to read without feeling utter despair. There's no good time of day to feel that.
Just blew through this last night and loved it! Stranger Things but a badass girl gang of paper delivered girls when something crazy happens.
I've been reading almost two books a week this year. Bus rides mostly.
Oof. Only two chapters in and I can tell this one's going to be tough. Important info and well written but so, so infuriating.
My only god is faith that there is comfort here, that who is hurting will hurt less than they did before.
A brilliant philosophy... Don't let the trauma win. Try new things.
I want to read this book again and again and I know it'll mean something a little different to me each time.
Cleared up a little, opened up new questions, in true Twin Peaks form. I'd love to see a new series that centers on the story of Diane.
