Bookstagram

March Night Worms unboxing! • Sadie (@mother.horror) and Ashley (@bookishmommy) truly outdid themselves this month with this amazing box! • I always peak at spoilers because I just don’t know how not to, which meant I already knew which books were coming. I’ve seen Janz’s books mentioned a lot by the horror bookstagram accounts I followed, so I was thrilled to see a book from him included! Nightmare Girl is coming up as one of my next reads. I’m also currently in the midst of making my way through Will Haunt You, which is my first book by Brian Kirk. • I’ve also been browsing through my @screamhorrormagazine and loving the content! • @flametreepress truly outdid themselves with the swag! I’ve already decided that the skull journal is going to be my new book journal. These two are stunning and great quality! • The artwork that came along in this package has to be some of my favorites so far! @dansmonsters is the mastermind behind the badass Night Worms logo and these prints are fantastic! I’ve been using my bookmark since the moment I opened the box! And those stunning bookplates? Those are from the mega talented @jessiedella! • To really seal the deal on this box, the ladies included hot cocoa from @moonstruckchoc. They’ve featured this company before and I loved the previous flavor, so I’ll be savoring this one before the weather warms up too much around here. • If you’re not a subscriber already and you’re interested in horror, I highly recommend giving @night_worms a go! I have loved every box I’ve received since the start and they continually get better! 🖤💀

You’re a firestarter, honey. Just one great big Zippo lighter. • When Andy McGee and Vicky Tomlinson were college students they both needed a way to make some extra cash. They volunteered to participate in an experiment for a drug. Unbeknownst to them, this experiment wasn’t being run by a professor, but by a secret government organization known simply as The Shop. There was no placebo. Everyone was given a drug called Lot Six, which has the effect of bringing latent psychic talents to the foreground. The things Andy and Vicky witnessed unfolding around them to their fellow test subjects were terrifying. They both felt their new powers and the overwhelming need to forget what had happened to them. • Andy and Vicky fell in love and had a daughter, Charlie, who was born with the ability of pyrokinesis. The power to create fire with her mind. The McGee family lived in hiding for many years, but eventually The Shop caught wind of what the couple had created. They will stop at nothing to have Charlie in their possession. She will become their weapon or die. • 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟/5 • Full review up on my blog! Link in profile!

When I saw Shannon (@givemeallthebooks) was hosting a black and white book stack day I knew I would be at no shortage of books to grab! #givemeabookstack • This stack is mostly read and filled with some favorites! The three that I haven’t read are on my TBR to conquer soon 🤞🏻 • What color spine do you have the most of on your shelves?

My book blogger week is looking amazing! I’ve got a stack of hugely anticipated titles to read, review, and share with you! • I finished up Firestarter yesterday and adored it! I love the way King writes kid characters and Charlie was the embodiment of that writing. I need a little bit of time to digest my thoughts and then I’ll be sharing a review! • This morning I started The Lost Man, which is the March pick for @criminallygoodbookclub. It’s way too early on to make any judgements, but I was a fan of Harper’s The Dry, so I have a feeling I’ll love this one! • I’m planning on starting in on a @night_worms March box pick, Will Haunt You tonight. I completely missed the discussion last week thanks to a couple late work nights. I’m looking forward to getting creeped out with this one! • I’ll also be balancing My Lovely Wife in my mixture of reads. I’m on blog tour for this one next week and I’ve got to tell you, the wait to starting this book has been killing me! • See anything you love or want to read? • Thank you @berkleypub and @flatiron_books for my free review copies!

In honor of all of the fun I had this past week putting together my colored stacks, I’m dedicating this #rainbowbookstack to @jennsbookvibes! Thanks so much for creating such a great challenge and bringing so many of us together! ♥️ • Happy Sunday!

Today’s the final day of #jennsrainbowchallenge and it’s all about purple. I learned I don’t own that many purple spines and that I’m a huge slacker when it comes to read those I do own. I’ve only read 2 of these! 😬 • This little photo bomber turned model, Teddy, is one of the two cats that rule our house. You can can find Ted usually making a cameo in my stories. He loves books and I was invading his couch space, so now he’s a model!You can see how into it was if you swipe! 😂 • Happy Saturday, bookworms!
