July Wrap-Up🦋 // What I've Been Reading

this is one of the most important books and most beautiful books and best put together books i've ever read or seen in my whole entire life

it is historical fiction it is horror literary horror it is magical realism and it is exceptional

the writing was mediocre the plot twists were mediocre the plushies were actually just bad i really didn't get anything out of this i didn't care about the characters

this is a little audiobook that i listened to all about mindfulness and mindfulness as the way to happiness or i guess happiness as the way in and of itself which is interesting i'm not going to talk too much about it was really great i love all of technohan's work that i read i've read a lot of his work by now and once again i just love it love it

at the end though i did decide to give this four stars i don't know why i got so invested in the lives of the students that we follow in this book but i just found myself getting so close to them and so enraged for them and so preoccupied with what their lives were doing and how the book would turn out and pan out and end ultimately

what ruined it for me was just the storytelling decisions like it became so boring it became so predictable this book took forever for anything to happen

it was a really interesting told non-fiction but in the end this was a mess like the way it was arranged what it decided to encompass in its book format was a mess like he just went on so many avoidable tangents that were not necessary at all and like took away from what he was trying to discuss

it just felt like this like really bad d campaign where the person who was orchestrating it has no idea what they're doing and they just lead you on this very boring slow-moving heavily descriptive mediocre adventure and i was really disappointed

this was my first shirley jackson book as well and i loved it probably four and a half stars maybe 4.75 stars this was crazy once again a very short unsettling book

first of all i feel like this book was way too long you could have cut so much out and there were other problems i had with it but overall i would give it like a legitimate three stars not like a 2.75 because there were a lot of really cool well done aspects to this thriller i think
