Sorry, I do not get the high praise and 5 star for this book & The Chill. I couldn't finish either of them, the writing is fine...but the male protagonists are insufferable and the story just does loop de loops. I also don't get classifying either as "horror" or "suspense"..they are sci-fi with a dab of creepy.

The book had a decent story and even semi acceptable twists ,but you'd probably see it coming....but the thing that gets me is it's over written ,over worded soliloquy of a character that gaslights themselves that they are the problem while they continue to so unhinged shit. It's a trope I'm so very tired of ...this crazy bitch believes she's guilty so she does multiple crazy bitch things to prove she's not crazy..please come up with something new

I'm never satisfied with any Horror or suspense story...it can always be better...but this pretty good

The writing was good and it was a quick easy read, but there was no real character depth. Characters either didn't develop or they were unlikable. The most explored character was absolutely unlikeable, at least for me. I've known enough sanctimonious hypocrites that I didn't need a POV from them. Also the book was filled with too many cliche troups to count....but it was well written

The Griswold's have hit NY....just so ya know

Revisiting the story before Season 3....and if you haven't done so by now, WATCH INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE, on AMC.
It is simply amazing

It was Meh....it was ok, but underwhelming and even though it was well written I didn't give a shit about any of the characters

I genuinely hated the direction of the storyline after page 100, like you know what's killing these girls but the why or how it works is never answered. I wanted an explanation or answers. I deserved the answers, but I never got them.
Despite my annoyance at this I must confess the writing and characters left me completely enjoying the journey from start to finish

Some people discussed being let down and disappointed in this book. I assume it's in comparison of the authors previous works, but it was a good book. It was well paced and had lots of twists that made it an overall good read

The House of the Seven Gables has a hidden staircase in the chimney & I'm still impressed I climbed up that bitch

Of course there's a mini library between the House of the Seven Gables & Hawthorne's birthplace

A little surprise in the gardens if the Famous Ropes Mansion in Salem seen in Hocus Pocus

If anyone has read this let me know whqt you thought....I'm having such a hard time getting into and need to know if it's disappointing or the payoff is there.

This was definitely better received by my last book from this author....I haven't decided if I'm a gan or not, but at this rate my subscription box will provide me with all of her work

Finally have my own home office and it's coming together nicely....just waiting on the custome built bookcase

Nothing against the writing, because it was lovely, but this book was not my vibe. I tried to read it 8 seperate times. It was long, boring , confusing with little payoff...for me

If I explained this book it would honestly sound ridiculous, but trust me it was a great read

Meh, this book was meh...

Since I liked the sbow so much I just had to give the series a go

Disclaimer...I'm not here for politics...so anyone ranting politics I'll delete and move on.
That said , this book examines a time when Nazi propaganda crossed paths with segregationist ideology to create a moment in American history.
If you're a bit of a history buff I suggest giving this a read. It certainly has parallels seen in today's political climate.

While I do love a good story spun from an existing tale I tend to be highly critical of anything scary, spooky and suspenseful. I'm downright difficult to please, but I've been lucking out and finding some great creepy books...and this is tale fights right on that list. I'd easily give it all the stars

Finally got around to reading this and it was as good as I had expected

My God was this book good...a haunted who done it. It wasn't scary, but it was creepy and I enjoyed every second I spent in this story

Again, I don't know how to rate this book....at it's heart it's a queer love story ,that's a fun, entertaining gorefest that's easy to read. The plot holes though are so preposterous that it legitimately takes you out of the story to marvel at the stupidity of them.

I honestly don't know how to rate this book. It was an easy read and a good story....right up to the big reveal. Which is hands down 1 of the dumbest things I ever read. I would have bailed if there weren't just 2 chapters left and surely that wasn't the real ending...it was. 🤦‍♀️

I liked this way more than I expected to. It was a clever and entertaining story with wonderful characters.

I loved this book....it took a bit to get into it at first, but I was hooked by the 3rd chapter.
2 women run away to NYC, one ends ups murdered & the other discovers her body. What follows is such a creative twist on a familiar story, with characters you come to love.

Getting a start on my Christmas gifts

If your family doesn't find 1 of the remaining JC Penny photo studios just so they can recreate peak 90's cheesy , cringe portraits as a Christmas gift ....do they even love you 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️l

Finishing touches for the tree....check

Festive AF over here

I didn't care for the experimenting on dog parts (and skimmed over them), but other than that it was a great piece of storytelling that hooked me from the start, had some twists and was a quick read.
DISCLAIMER....the abusive relationship is difficult to read at times.

Not going to lie....this messed me up a bit

Does anyone else view certain authors or those beloved ,well worn books as comforting as a grilled cheese, bowl of soup or hot chocolate on a cold winters day?
Jennifer Weiner is 1 of many Authors who's characters and stories leave me feeling comforted & familiar

I'm just tired of Christians & their weird obsession with people's sex lives & the grandiose delusions that they're in any position to judge a fucking thing. 《Dramtic sigh》 The world would be such a better place without them 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I actually loved this book. It hooked me quickly , connected me to the characters, had a twist I didn't see coming and fit perfectly into spooky season. Definitely recommend

Did you know that you can modify spinach & artichoke dip into a pasta sauce.......welcome

I'm such a horror snob. I'm overly critical and am rarely ever completely happy. I'm usually most disappointed by the ending. This book had a great wind up & it was a fast and compelling read....but the big reveal and ending left me disappointed. But, if you aren't as damn critical & demanding with horror stories you'll probably love it

I found a recipe for chicken dumplin soup...amazing

Found an amazing small bookstore by lake george NY

I used to be a fan of Nicholas Sparks & then his stories became extremely predictable. Despite finding out he was kinda a piece of shit it didn't ruin the stories I loved....but this book was just a never-ending stream of meah. I won't call it unreadable ,it just wasn't very good.

My daughter got the part

I finally picked this up and couldn't put it down.
I'm not sure why but YA books have been the only one's I've enjoyed lately. Adult novels are almost routinely overly wordy, pretentious or predictable and some I can barely finish. This book had a great story, pacing and lovable characters

This is my absolute favorite "to do" list

I really hate it when I book has an interesting story and a unique concept & I can't finish it. I wanted to like it, I tried to like it...but when it was still hard to get into at page 200 I had to bail. The book is over 500 pages & it was just too much. Overly descriptive & overly worded chapters just made it hard to connect.

Again, another book I did not expect to enjoy. Yet, I was completely caught up in the story and the characters. Not to mention a tear inducing cat scene

I wispered "WTF" multiple times reading this book...in the best ways. It was gross, uncomfortable and an overall emotional confusion
