Book cover art for No Place Left to Hide by Megan Lally.

No Place Left to Hide by Megan Lally.

Please be mindful of the content warnings prior to reading this book. YA novel. Image is everything, mean girl energy. Don't count on liking any of the characters. If you do you do, if you don't you don't. The reveal was unsurprising for me.

My rating /5: ★★

Book cover art for I Am the Swarm by Hayley Chewins.

I Am the Swarm by Hayley Chewins.

Please be mindful of the content warnings prior to reading this book. YA novel. Dark. Hopeful. Written in verse. Evocative imagery. Reclaiming personal agency. A one-sitting read.

My rating /5: ★★★

Book cover art for The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon.

The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon.

Please be mindful of the content warnings prior to reading this book. Dystopian. It's forgettable, much to my own dismay. I cannot pinpoint whether it's the world-building, verbiage or characters that made this book underwhelming for me. TBD.

My rating /5: ★★

Book cover art for A Girl Walks Into the Forest by Madeleine Roux.

A Girl Walks Into the Forest by Madeleine Roux.

Please be mindful of the content warnings prior to reading this book. YA. A bit of a horror and folklore blend. The protagonist's transformation is memorable. Dark tone. Visually evocative.

My rating /5: ★★★

Book cover art for A Long Time Dead by Samara Breger.

A Long Time Dead by Samara Breger.

Please be mindful of the content warnings prior to reading this book. Victorian era. Vampire romance. This book has a rather unique charm to it. Slow-paced and a bit meandering, but you'll possibly forgive it. Rating this read was difficult.

My rating /5: ★★★

Where Darkness Blooms by Andrea Hannah.

Please be mindful of the content warnings prior to reading this book. YA Horror. Listen, I am an unapologetic [redacted] for a botanical element. Supernatural elements. Familial relationships. Secrets. Watch your step (caution: plot holes).

My rating /5: ★★★

Amy Poehler: [Creates an opportunity to talk about SNL]

Aubrey Plaza: [Regularly speaks about the WNBA]

Me: [Listens] 🥹

Lol. Inconsiderate of it actually but it is google... 😅

Library app: Here's a book by [celeb you forgot existed's name here]

Me: "Okay, gross. Now I know they exist again. Rude."

I may have forgotten that my library apps don’t have a mute option. Keep getting jumpscared by folk I’ve had muted on socials for YEARS. Some, I genuinely forgot existed. 🫣

PART TWO OF MARKED?!

They don't know how to deliver products to the correct postal address in my neighbourhood, sadly. 😩

Just had to purchase something I did not wish to purchase with a company I was trying to avoid purchasing from again, only to be stuck in a position where they ultimately were my only option. If I don't want to be sexually harrassed by a man that lives on my street for several months again.

Oooh! I like it! Yay comic book/s!

Guess you gotta do it. 👀😁

If I don’t reply etc in a timely manner, it’s the app’s ai slop flopping again, probably.

The number of times this app crashes is atrocious.

My stomachache distracted me from reading a fic while listening to this audiobook. Sad times. 😔

Idk if there’s a precise number for it to count but I guess it’s at least two or more?

If you watch several episodes in one sitting, it probably still counts as “binge watching” a series.

Why does it feel like an arachnid bit my temple while I slept last night? 😩

Uhm, so apparently I'm posting periodic live tweets while watching Kevin, so... Caution, this Bluesky account is posting Kevin spoilers. This is not a safe space if you don't want spoilers from this series. Okay, thank you, bye.

I don't even like Reese's products and it irks the absolute fuck out of me to hear it pronounced like that.

And the incorrect pronunciation of Reese's Pieces.

Not the wikifeet mention. 😭

I cannot imagine a non creepy reason to save someone’s selfie (without their knowledge and enthusiastic consent) either, tbh. Logically, I know it’s nothing new but it never gets any less creepy. Just like, or comment (respectfully) and go about your day. Simple. 🤷🏻

Oh, that’s really weird behaviour. 🥴 I’m sorry you’ve experienced this.
