Back at it with book blogging!

Just finished reading Devil House by John Darnielle. I was super excited for this one, but it turned out to be another case of false-expectations (it's not horror). I appreciated the examination of true crime storytellers and those who consume true crime, especially with the rise in popularity of true crime the past few years. It just took much too long to get there with it's convoluted writing style that never seems to tie everything together. Not to mention the literally unreadable-to-me and incomprehensible fourth part. Why did the publishers choose that font, why was it even included? 🤨 An interesting start that fell flat in the end. ⭐️⭐️

"Journeys end in lovers meeting; I have spent an all but sleepless night, I have told lies and made a fool of myself, and the very air tastes like wine. I have been frightened half out of my foolish wits, but I have somehow earned this joy; I have been waiting for it for so long."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I haven't kept up on any book blogging etc lately, but I think I'll start putting my favorite reads up here to keep some sort of track. I think Shirley Jackson is now my favorite author. I read this earlier in the month and haven't stopped thinking about it. Her writing isn't for everyone, but I LOVE the two books I've read from her so far (Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle).

My reading slump (and everything slump tbh) has hit me hard this month! Hopefully spending so much time on this month's journal spread will give me the push I need to get back into the groove of things.

Finished what will probably be my last classic of 2020. I love when a book renews my love of reading and Phantom of the Opera did just that! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

#sowecanglow by Leesa Cross-Smith 💖 I haven't decided how I feel about it yet, but it's really reminding me how magical I and all of my friends were as teenagers, and now as adults. All the magic girl vibes! I was inspired by the story Girlheart Cake with Glitter Frosting to grab some of the magical things I could find in my apartment. I totally did cry reading it- just a list of music, movies, artists, and a bunch of other stuff that I ABSORBED into my personality as an adolescent. Who knew a three-page list of things could be so relatable?! 💫
