Recent Updates and Currently Reading | November 13

Happy weekend, friends! How was your reading week? I managed to read a few things so I'm thrilled about that.

Posted Last Week


The Clackity by Lora Senf Just Like Home by Sarah Gailey


Book Review | The Clackity by Lora Senf
⭐⭐⭐★★

Book Review | Just Like Home by Sarah Gailey ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Finished Reading


What If? by Randall Munroe The Golden Couple by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen Unmasked by Lorien Lawrence

What If? by Randall Munroe ⭐⭐★★★ - The subtitle for this is Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions. It was my book club's pick for November, and honestly not for me.

The Golden Couple by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen ⭐⭐⭐★★ - This was good.

Unmasked by Lorien Lawrence ⭐⭐⭐⭐★ - I love this series and recommend it for middle grade readers!


Currently Reading


Fairy Tale by Stephen King The Shadow of the Gods by John Gwynne Ghosts by Raina Telgemeier

Fairy Tale by Stephen King - I made more progress on Fairy Tale. I like it, but it feels long right now.

The Shadow of the Gods by John Gwynne - I'm excited to finally be reading this. So far I'm not sucked in, though.

Ghosts by Raina Telgemeier - I'm enjoying this graphic novel. One of the main characters has cystic fibrosis.

Added to the TBR


The Hollow Kind by Andy Davidson 1-2-3-4, I Declare a Thumb War by Lisi Harrison and Daniel Kraus White Horse by Erika T. Wurth

The Hollow Kind by Andy Davidson - THANK YOU to my bestie for sending me The Hollow Kind. I love Andy Davidson's books and my sweet friend, too. ❤️

1-2-3-4, I Declare a Thumb War by Lisi Harrison and Daniel Kraus - Thank you to the publisher (Union Square Kids) for sending me the first book in the Graveyard Girls series.

White Horse by Erika T. Wurth - I was so excited to see White Horse in my Book of the Month selections. That's two months of horror in a row. I hope they keep this up!

Currently Watching


Barbarian Jolly Good Christmas

Barbarian - This movie is wild, and I loved it. If you need a horror movie to watch, check out Barbarian.

Jolly Good Christmas - I watch a lot of Hallmark Christmas movies even though I don't find most of them to be very good. 😂 I thought this one was good!

  3. I'm sorry you didn't like What If more. I read it last year and thought it was fun. I'd love to read Just Like Home. It seems right up my alley. I hope you have a great week!

  7. I mean, Hallmark movies are predictable and all, but they never fail to make me happy. I am just corny sap. And YEAH for a five-star read.
