I was looking for a horror anthology, unfortunately this didn't hit right. It's more of a queer exploration of monsters which worked in some stories and didn't in others. app.thestorygraph.com/books/fed230... #thiswitchreads 📚

70 pages read but a dnf for me. I was looking for cozy but this was extremely cheesy and quite poorly written (Murder at the Pumpkin Pageant) #thiswitchreads #cozymystery #booksky

Trying to read Murder with Fried Chicken and Waffles, thinking oh wow the Black woman who wrote this has a lot of internalized misogony. Turns out it's written by a white man so it's just plain misogony (and racist stereotypes). No need for me to finish that book. #bookreview #booksky #cozymystery

Hurricane Lizards and Plastic Squid by Thor Hanson was a really interesting read. I liked reading about so many different animals and plants and the research into them. I'm used to reading about climate change as a policy issue, this was a nice change. app.thestorygraph.com/books/0f3094... #booksky
