April, 2024



April 3rd, 2024, 8:14 p.m. - I honestly don't know what I'm supposed to take away from this book

13. Rabbit Hole (Kate Brody)
Like, barely anything happened. What did happen was mostly unrelated to the protagonist's quest. I feel like I wasted a week on something I won't remember reading three months from now.

Up next: A Step Past Darkness (Vera Kurian)


April 12th, 2024, 8:10 p.m. - I'm sorry but the title is awful

14. A Step Past Darkness (Vera Kurian)
The story was fine – nothing that impressed me that much – but I really liked how Kurian made the small town where it took place seem real. It was little things, like how they call the two parks the Good Park and the Bad Park. I also appreciated the exaggeration of purity culture, especially as it as in the mid-'90s.

Up next: The Angel of Indian Lake (Stephen Graham Jones)


April 20th, 2024, 2:14 p.m. - "There's final girls everywhere, aren't there?"

15. The Angel of Indian Lake (Stephen Graham Jones)
This was a very satisfying ending to the trilogy. I'll definitely be reading more of Jones' books. I really like his writing. Hopefully, he has more characters as fun as Jade.

Up next: Help Wanted (Adelle Waldman)


April 25th, 2024, 5:32 p.m. - I was told there would be wit

16. Help Wanted (Adelle Waldman)
I must have missed the witty parts. Also the interesting parts.

Up next: You'd Look Better as a Ghost (Joanna Wallace)
