So good!!! 4.5 out 5. The vampires were not what I was expecting in the end. Will definitely be picking up more by Cañas.

Starting book #30! I’m only two chapters in and I can tell it’s going to be a favorite. #IsabelCañas #VampiresOfElNorte #booksky #horrorlit

Hand holding a copy of the book “Vampires of El Norte” by Isabel Cañas. The cover depicts a woman in full skirts in silhouette walking across the dessert as lightning strikes in the background.

Finished If We Were Villains a few days ago. 4.75/5 🌟. I loved this so much. Weirdly co-dependent college kids is one of my favorite genres. This is right up there with The Secret History.

End of Act II, Scene 8 — man, fuck Richard

Back at it with one I’ve been meaning to get to for a while. Just starting Act II and loving the dark academia vibe. Reminds of The Secret History and The Likeness.

Ok I finished a few days ago and I had to sit with it. 3.5/5 🌟. It was more gorey than I typically like in a horror. I’m more of a ghost story girl. The writing was excellent, but I would have liked more development from some characters.

Omg I really underestimated the “psycho” part of this. What a ride. I’m about a third of the way through.

Probably my favorite mystery author! While The Examiner remains my favorite, this was definitely a worthwhile read with plenty of twists. 4/5 🌟

As others have said, the greatest transfer of wealth in US history will not be from the Boomers to their children but from them to the US healthcare system. The US is designed to make people insolvent and to keep them poor once they're there.

Mainstream people know him as the cabbie from SCROOGED, but he’s a prolific musician and entertainer who has been at the heart of music since the late ‘70s.

Not the best picture, but 4/5 🌟. Had to take a few breaks while reading this one during heavy moments. Well written and mind boggling. Rife with examples of the dangers of religious fanaticism.

Elon musk isn’t elected.

He’s a Nazi nepo baby who breaks everything he touches.

And right now he’s locked himself in a room with grandpa’s Social Security check.
