Bloody Irish
by Bob Curran

book cover


This book was labeled as a non-fiction but it definitely read more like a fiction set of short stories! A quick and easy read with some nice spooky stories perfect for a campfire.

The Stand
by Stephen King

book cover


As an avid Stephen King fan, I always hear people mention that this is one of their all-time favorite King books. I think I agree! While it took me a long time to slog through the first five to seven hundred pages of this book, all the heavily detailed storylines and connecting ensembles, the pay-off was incredible. I finished the last five to six hundred pages in a matter of days because the momentum built so well and all I wanted to see was what would happen. Each character met such a profound end, and somehow despite all the King books I've read I was surprised at how masterfully everything wrapped up. From the Lincoln tunnel scene to Trashcan Man's return to Tom and Stu's trip through the snow I was completely locked in.

Ring Shout

This was a really incredible novel, it built a really amazing universe in such a short time! I thought the monsters were incredible and terrifying, and the final battle was blockbuster worthy. I think this would make an incredible movie or limited series! So glad I bought a digital copy on Libro.FM so I can revisit this again and again!

Through The Woods
by Emily Carroll

book cover


This is a graphic novel that contains 5 short horror stories. E.M. Carroll is fantastic at creating tension and terror through their use of illustrations, color, and shadow. Their stories are moody and atmospheric; a great read for either Summerween (this is entry #1 for my current Summerween reading challenge) OR for Halloween. Be forewarned: there are elements of body horror in this collection.

World War Z

book cover


What a great audiobook cast! I did find myself a little zoned out in the middle of this book based on the short chapters that could range from emotional to gory to highly military technical, but overall the voice acting was really strong and did keep me in a lot of parts. I loved the world building that often gets overlooked in the highly focused apocalypse books like the vernacular and cultural shifts that come during and after big moments in history, it felt like a really interesting sociological study in that way!

Out There Screaming

book cover


I love short story compilations most days but I loved the variety in topic and style from all of the different authors! There are some that I wish were entire books, and there were some that I found other books by the authors to add to my reading list. So glad I got this one off thr shelf.

Managing ADHD Finances: A Digital Guidebook for Adults
by Kyrus Keenan Westcott
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This is an ebook that provides a very simple, straightforward, and positive approach to managing finances when you have ADHD. It's written by Kyrus Keenan Westcott, a content creator on Instagram who also has ADHD. His words and advice made me feel seen and realize that I'm not inherently bad simply because I struggle with money; I just need to utilize methods and tools that work with my neurodivergency, not against it. For anyone struggling with money due to ADHD, I highly recommend this!

Worth Fighting For

book cover


This was such a fun book! I loved other books in this Meant to Be series so I was really excited for the Mulan story. Despite the secondhand embarrassment, it was so funny and a really sweet love story, it was amazing! I'll definitely have to finish out the rest in this series

The World According To Mister Rogers
by Fred Rogers
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This little book is a great resource for some of the wisdom and thoughts of Fred Rogers. Mr. Rogers was as much a part of my growing up as Sesame Street and Disney. Hearing his words now so many years later hits on a deeper level, a more appreciative level. With all the negativity and chaos going on in the world right now, it may do you some good to read this book or listen to the audiobook. An absolute 5 stars.

What a fun quick read!! I loved the repeated prints of the house layouts so you never forgot the images to make the story more intriguing. I wish it was longer!!
