Obsessed with my dog π Library clerk, horror books/movies, manga, vinyl
It's day 5 of #LibFaves25, and today's pick (in no particular order) is WAKE UP AND OPEN YOUR EYES by Clay McLeod Chapman.
The entire second half is a weird fever dream of the male lead imaging his every move narrated by Anderson Cooper.
I laughed, got mad, almost threw up, and had to hold my dog.
It's day 4 of #LibFaves25, and today's pick (in no particular order) is FORECLOSURE GOTHIC by Harris Lahti.
Vic quits his Hollywood acting gig and moves to the Hudson Valley area to follow in his father's footsteps - renovating foreclosure properties to sell at a profit. Things get kinda weird... π
This one is going to be in my list as well π

It's day 3 of #LibFaves25, and today's pick (in no particular order) is THERE IS NO ANTIMEMETICS DIVISION by qntm
(This book was independently published in 2020, but was revised and published by Ballantine Books in 2025)
How can you destroy a monster if you can't remember that it exists?
This was my pick for day one! I absolutely adored Mrs. March, and I can't wait to see what she does next π

It's day 2 of #LibFaves25 - my 2nd pick (in no particular order) is THE BUFFALO HUNTER HUNTER by Stephen Graham Jones.
It's 1912, and a Lutheran pastor takes the confession of a Native American vampire. Mostly told through the lense of the Pastor's journal entries.
I highly recommend the audio!
It's day 1 of #LibFaves25 π₯³ My list is in no particular order. First pick: VICTORIAN PSYCHO by Virginia Feito.
I absolutely loved Virginia Feito's debut novel, Mrs. March. So I obviously had to read her second novel.
A governess, a mansion, secrets, and mass murder. What's not to love?
One of my biggest pet peeves is when you're watching a cooking show or video, and they're like, "Ask your local butcher..."
And I'm like, "You mean just go to the meat department at the supermarket? My choices are Price Chopper, Hannaford, or Walmart."
If the book doesn't give me this reaction, I don't wanna read it.

Several books stacked on a coffee table.
On vacation this week! Took a trip to Ithaca, NY to visit some independent book stores and eat some tasty food! Got to geek out with an employee at Odyssey Bookstore when I told her that I have to buy every new @twodollarradio.bsky.social book I come across π Found some good ones!

A box in an antique store of vintage plastic doll parts. There is a sticky note on the box that says, "These doll parts $1.00 each."
Look, I don't need this box of doll parts, but I just want it.

My dog is sensitive. It started to sleet and get really windy out during our walk, so she refused to poop. She squatted down twice and geared up for it, then chickened out and dragged me back to the house. Now my husband is taking her back out to finish up her business.

Same with Ring Shout.
I would binge the hell out of those two shows (if they existed).
I just started the audio for Buffalo Hunter Hunter, and even though I'm not too far into it yet, I think that would also make an excellent show.
I'm 39 years old, and I still race up the stairs after I turn the lights off at night.

Patricia Lockwood's last novel, No One is Talking About This, holds a special place in my heart. I would highly recommend the audio. Kristen Sieh was born for that role. Lockwood's latest work, Will There Ever Be Another You, is an absolute fever-dream and I loved it. 10/10.

Okay, so I'm not usually a "cozy" reader, but my last couple of cozy sci-fi and fantasy reads have been pretty fire π My latest was the audio for Automatic Noodle by Annalee Newitz.
Anyone have some good cozy sci-fi recs? I also really enjoyed the Monk and Robot series by Becky Chambers.

It's giving me Brendon Small and Jason Penopolis from Home movies, and I love it π

A stack of graphic novels sit on a desk. Each book has a spine label with the call number, and a green sticker above the spine label that says "Graphic Non Fiction."
On Wednesdays I work 12-8PM. That's when I usually add new books. Last night was new nonfiction graphic novels!

Do I want to get the A-Ko movie I'm missing, or sell the 3 I own and buy this instead... Decisions, decisions π€
