I started doing these in 2020. I think I managed to do the whole 61 days once. 🤪 Some years I barely make it past the cover card but it's always fun.

Once again, it's a Tuesday, and that means there are many good books being published today. Buy or borrow one and it will be an automatic distraction from the daily horrors.

Spending time with @paultremblay.bsky.social ! This book from my library is very well loved ( and had quite a wait list) Just getting into it, but did anyone else find the little sister a bit suss? Could be my own little sister issues 🤔 Maybe I'll apologize to her later. 🩸📚💙 #bookchallenge

I've been thinking about this a lot as I get ready to jet off to an adventure. "Life isn’t divided into genres. It’s a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel. You know, with a bit of pornography if you're lucky." —Alan Moore

Just finished The Bookshop Below @georgiasummers.bsky.social Not sure if I can explain - but some of you will understand. This book took me to the same place, made me feel the same way as The Magicians @levgrossman.com It's not even about the plot, just how I felt. A keeper for sure. 💙📚

This is definitely a case of should have read the book before watching the movie. The movie was ok. The book is much better. The main character was still Sandra Bullock in my head 😜 50 best horror challenge 31/50 📚💙 #bookchallenge

This book is utterly gorgeous. I think they made it that way so you'd think twice about chucking it out a high window when you reached the end. ( hopefully the sequel will be worth this pain!) 💙📚

Was an excellent read! This one will stay with you. The Kindle edition however is so poorly edited I almost dnf'd it. There are typos, missing or wrong words on nearly every page. Opt for a print version if you can find one. 🩸📚💙 #bookchallenge

" Black Tom smiled faintly but shook his head. " Every time I was around them, they acted like I was a monster. So I said goddammit, I'll be the worst monster you ever saw!" The Ballad of Black Tom - Victor LaValle I have goosebumps - not bad for a book you can read in an hour. 🩸📚💙 #bookquote

" The problem with all numinous things is that you can't just take somebody's word about them, especially the ones you're warned away from. You HAVE to look at them, eventually,to know they're really there. You look at them even though you know it's not a good idea too. You can't not "🩸📚💙#bookquote
