What do you get when you combine a missing person, vampires, blood-siphoning butterflies, and caterpillars galore? You get Direwood by Catherine Yu.

Mediums, curses, ghosts, and supernatural elements fill the pages of What Stays Buried. I hope my review has convinces you to consider it for your next spooky read.

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).

The Jot Down – December 17, 2022 Happy Saturday y’all! Phew! This week was a myriad of things. If I had to give it a title, it would be “Different: The Scripted and Unscripted.” I didn’t get around to posting a WWW Wednesday this week because I had some extraneous tasks outside of my normally scheduled program to tend to. One of them being a stressful journey running errands on Fannin at UTHealth Houston and another being a task that took longer than expected. By the time I finished both, Wednesday was gone. It would’ve been fruitless of me to…

Maggie got a man, and he ain’t at home. The manhunt is still on and it’s not without consequences. What else will she go through to get her baby?

Remember when I said I had Darknesses on my nightstand and needed to read it soon? Well, I finally did it; it was quite an adventure. Darknesses by Lachelle Seville is a sapphic, gothic, Dracula-inspired novel that has had traction in the book community circles I follow. I chose the book purely by faith in the readers that suggested, and as usual, I didn’t know what I was getting into. That’s nothing new. Now, having finished the book, I wish I would have asked them why they enjoyed it.

Happy Hump Day and welcome to the WWW Wednesday post for January 11, 2023!

I’ve been thinking about hosting a buddy read or read-along for quite some time, and after more than enough time uttering to no one but myself, I’ve taken the cue from Nike, and I’m just going to do it.

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