Had one of those rare, fun connections yesterday. Had one of those rare, fun connections yesterday. When I went to my hair appointment, I was seeing a new stylist, since my former one retired. I was pretty nervous, because I can be socially awkward. She introduced herself and led me to her station, where I see a copy of The Troop, and promptly let out a delighted squawk, (because that’s definitely NOT awkward 😂) and asked her if she’s enjoying it. What followed was a nearly two-hour long conversation about recent horror books we’ve read and loved. It was SO NICE. And my hair looks absolutely amazing. #horrorlover #horrorgeek #horrorfan #horrorobsessed #bookishcommunity #bookishconnections #bookstagram #book #bookish #girlswhoread

Swipe for more photos! There was a #librarysale Swipe for more photos! There was a #librarysale today, and I was hoping to find some nostalgic treasures to add to my shelves. I lucked out. I found some #goosebumps and other #rlstine books, including the collector’s edition of the Fear Street Silent Night books, which I was OBSESSED with as a kid. (I owned the exact same edition). I also picked up some Murder, She Wrote books, because DUH. And I also found The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, which I’ve been wanting, because it contains The Who Goes There? novella by John W. Campbell, which, you may know, was the inspiration for Carpenter’s The Thing. I am a happy girl today. The grand total? $10. #bookhaul #bookstagram #books #fearstreet #horror #vintagehorror #horrorlover #horrorobsessed #teenbooks #horrorcollector #yabooks #bookobsessed #murdershewrote #sciencefiction #horrorgeek #library #supportyourlocallibrary #bookish #girlswhoread
It’s going to reach 93°F today, but is that goi It’s going to reach 93°F today, but is that going to stop me from creating a #bookstack of titles I want to read during September/October? You know the answer. We’ve got horror, weird fiction, murder mysteries, vampires, and even a little epic fantasy, for good measure. And yes, holding these in one hand for a photo was quite heavy. 😂 #bookstagram #books #bookish #horrorbookslover #weirdfiction #vampirebooks #murdermystery #fantasybooks #booklover #spookyseason #whatareyoureading #girlswhoread

I just finished Come With Me, by Ronald Malfi, and I just finished Come With Me, by Ronald Malfi, and HOLY SHIT. This. This is everything I want horror to be. Characters that have real depth. False leads and twists that make sense and aren’t just thrown in for shock value. The feeling that you took a long journey with the characters and, like them, came out the other end a different person. I’ve become very disheartened lately with the number of books I’ve read that started strong, but had lackluster endings. Come With Me had me fully engaged the whole time. I was creeped out, I was intrigued, I had goosebumps with each new revelation. The way every aspect tied together was a work of art I was thrilled to experience. It’s horror, yes, but it was also a deeply moving, and human, love story. This book was perfect, and is the best horror novel I’ve read in a long, long time. My highest possible recommendation. #bookrecommendations #bookreview #horrorbookreviews #horror #horrorbooks #ronaldmalfi #comewithmebook #horrorlover #bookstagram #book #horrorfan #horrorgeek #bookish #spookyreads #girlswhoread
I read a lot of standalone X-Files books back in t I read a lot of standalone X-Files books back in the day, and still own a few of them. I am thrilled these novels were re-released, and that I was gifted one for my birthday. Mulder and Scully look like they’ve had some work done, though. Their skin is flawless! 😂 Side note: Whirlwind is one of my very favorites. I highly recommend reading it, if you don’t read any others. #thexfiles #xfiles #xfilesbook #mulderandscully #bookstagram #book #bookish #bookworm #booklover #bookobsessed #happybirthdaytome #girlswhoread

A Certain Hunger, by Chelsea G. Summers Female se A Certain Hunger, by Chelsea G. Summers Female serial killer? Check. Career-driven woman? Check. Kills and eats parts of her male lovers? CHECK. Dorothy is a food writer and restaurant critic, so her descriptions of murder (and everything else) are in turns visceral, tempting, disturbing, and mouthwatering. Her thoughts on other people are cyncial, and I found myself nodding in agreement a few times. (Not sure if that’s a good thing….) The whole book was written beautifully; I paused several times to re-read and savor the words. I’m sure Dorothy would approve. I haven’t enjoyed a horror book this much in quite a while. The ending was the weakest part, for me, but the rest of the book earned it four stars. #whatareyoureading #horror #horrorbookreviews #horrorbookslover #horrorbooks #horrorbook #horrorfan #horrorgeek #horrorobsessed #books #bookstagram #girlswhoread
