We got brunch at home 😋🍽️ (and homemade sourdough bread)

A plate of eggs Benedict (sourdough bread, slices of tomato, arugula, poached eggs, hollandaise sauce, and Aleppo pepper sprinkled on top)

Not the most exciting sci-fi story, but the commentary was excellent

An insightful read. The writing got a little clunky sometimes, but the ideas/analysis are essential.

A strange grotesque little story. Wish I could give Isserley a hug, girl needed one

Calling this thorough would be an understatement. I liked it but it did take me a long time to get through it

This was pretty good. But in usual King fashion, more horny than scary.

Well I guess I’ll be sorting everything as either “weird” or “eerie” from now on

This was fine, it had some good moments but also a lot contrived moments. Overall a decent surface-level read about grief

I went into this expecting it to be too gimmicky and annoying, but was pleasantly surprised by how clever and subversive it was. It kinda wrecked me, a little bit.

Started a new fall tradition with my daughter of crocheting gloves while we watch Over the Garden Wall

A fun thriller. Dragged me out of a reading slump

This was so earnestly weird and horny. Had me literally laughing out loud and the ending made me cry. Loved this one

An unflinching critique of Zionism. As beautifully written as it is tragic. A perfect read

A fun, campy read but damn, Tingle does not trust his audience to understand subtext

The third act was a convoluted mess. But still a fun, silly summer read

Short but very effective. It is easier to imagine the end of the world than to imagine the end of capitalism.

Lovely writing and thoughtful exploration of gender, class, racism, capitalism, and more I'm forgetting to list. I recommend reading The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas first

This was my first bell hooks and I didn't like it 😬 this read like a Christian self-help book. Some good points were made but with misogyny sprinkled throughout. I was disappointed.
