Howdy and hello Dear Readers! I’ve been tagged to participate in the Horror Booktube Tag. Yay!!! This tag is making its rounds as part of Don’t Die July, a month-long, horror-themed collaboration between Ven of Ven’s_Corner and Noah of In-between The Lines. I’ve been tagged by Noah and will be tagging people as well. Hopefully, they will participate and share their responses. 🙂

Happy Hump Day and welcome to the WWW Wednesday post for January 25, 2023!

I’m somehow still surprised when someone expresses a thought that’s almost my exact sentiments. The tweet attached to this post came across my Facebook feed via a Facebook Group I’m a member of, and I immediately had to ‘love’ and share.

If you liked Mildred D. Taylor’s, Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, then you are sure to enjoy Lesa Cline-Ransome’s, For Lamb. So I did.

I promise I’ve been reading. I’m a reader 😉. And…I have book reviews in my head. I just need to type and publish them to the blog. 😬 🤭 Bear with me, y’all. As a reminder of my presence, I thought to share a quote I came across while watching a new favorite TV show. I’m on episode 6 of The Last of Us, and although I’ve heard many good lines, this one stood out the most to me and I’ve been ruminating on it. Be careful who you put your faith in. The only people that can betray us,…

How to Be a Better Adult is a book that expresses most, if not all feelings that many people experience while navigating their work and personal lives. It’s a quick read with a relatable main character trying to make sense of adulthood. Truthfully, most of us reside in a similar headspace (lol).

A family on the run, in need of money and shelter, but we don’t know why. Insert a haunted house, whose owner is willing to pay the father of said family, to stay there, but won’t go inside or stay in the house themselves. For the “right” amount of money, will he risk it all? Would you stay in the spite house?

October 2023 is my month of advanced reading copies, carryover reads, readathons, book clubs, and buddy reads. However ambitious, I’m determined to participate.

Empty Vows is a continuation of the Lexington, Alabama series by Mary Monroe and immediately picks up after the events from the ending of Mrs. Wiggins. I will not go into much detail because this is the second book in a series, and I don’t want to spoil anything. I will, however, tell you how I felt about the characters, writing style, and pacing because the setting was the same.

Mrs. Wiggins was a good time, but there were some things that I noted that may be goofy to some and useful to others. Follow me further…

Coughing, congestion and Christmas cooties got me in a chokehold. Reading is literally the least I can do next to mandatory napping. When I’m awake and not reading, I’m watching shows with ‘demon’ in the title. I wonder what that says about me.

Veronica G. Henry’s The Foreign Exchange is reminiscent of a cozy mystery with Haitian voodoo elements.
