A cozy week of spooky reads / mushroom hunting, gothic tales, the maidens & mystery

this has happened to me before with jay kristoff's novels where like i start listening to the audiobook and then suddenly three hours have gone by i have not moved from my seat i have just been sitting there wrapped listening this happened to me last year when i read the illuminae files i remember listening to illuminae and like i just sat on my couch for hours and hours

this was amazing probably like four and a half stars honestly really impressed really enjoyed it like i ate this up and i definitely gonna have to get to the next one as soon as possible i love this

i'm like exactly halfway through and i need to be much further but i just have not been motivated recently to pick this up

i'm still really enjoying this i'm really taking my time with it just because absolutely loving this so much like it's just so decadent and luscious and beautiful and grotesque and gothic

there was nothing thrilling about this nothing really surprising the main okay let's start with the main character mariana the aunt of the girl who's going to cambridge she is just a potato like there is no personality there's absolutely nothing there

i'm also still reading the murder of roger ackroyd which is really good i'm trying to crack this case in a video i have no leads i really don't have any clue

i really did like the other alex mike ladies book i read this year the silent patient i really liked it

i'm really not like 100 there yet with the collection and maybe it's just this one short story although it's kind of a little bit long but i'm not loving it so i'm hoping the ocampo book picks up a little bit after the first short story is done
