The weather this weekend was amazing! I planned to read outside yesterday, but ended up washing my car instead. That didn’t stop me from dragging my books around for some photos! • There’s something so appealing about kicking off a fresh week with a stack of new reads. I owe you all reviews for My Lovely Wife and The Lost Man, so you’ll see those in the next few days. • This morning I launched the audiobook for The Breakdown. I loved Behind Closed Doors by BA Paris and I’ve collected all of her other books, but haven’t read them. • I’m planning to pick up The Nightmare Girl after work, which is the second book that came in my March @night_worms package. I’ve been wanting to try out Janz for forever, so I’m really looking forward to this one! • I’ve got Overkill in this stack as well, but I’m not sure I’ll actually finish it in March. This is the first book in the Sam Shepherd series and the second hits UK shelves next month. This book had tons of glowing reviews last year and I can’t wait to see what all the hype is about! • What are you reading this week?

#partner | Thank you @flatiron_books for sending me a free review copy of this book! • Happy Saturday! My weekend is already off to a wonderful start! We’re headed out to meet my parents for and early lunch and then the afternoon is a blank slate. My hubby is definitely scheming up something, but he refuses to spill the beans! • I’ll be dragging The Lost Man alone for the car ride in hopes to finish this delightful read tonight or tomorrow. I’ve been listening to the audiobook for my commute all week, but I don’t have the patience to wait for answers next week, so I’m reading the rest. • What are your weekend plans?

#partner | Thank you @berkleypub for sending me a free review copy! • I’ve had such a wonderful day off spending time with my other half! I’m currently snuggling up on the couch about to dive back into my current read, My Lovely Wife. • Earlier this week I hit a wall with Will Haunt You and decided to put it down. There was some 4th wall breaking that I just couldn’t get on board with, as well as a convoluted plot. For now I’m putting it aside and declaring it a DNF because I don’t have interest in picking it back up. • On the bright side, I completely avoided a slump because of this amazing book! I’m obsessed with this story! My Lovely Wife is told from the husband’s perspective, which is something I wish was featured more. This husband/wife duo are all sorts of crazypants and I am here for the drama!

When Dennis (@scaredstraightreads) asks for a stack of some of your top thriller/horror/suspense recommendations you tear apart your shelves mentally proclaiming your love for every book until you realize you have a massive stack you can barely carry! 😂 • If we’re being honest I could fill another stack easily with all the books I realized I left out of this one...but you don’t have time for that and my arms aren’t strong enough! • We’re heading to the movies in a little while to see US and I’m like a kid at Christmas waiting to get there! Seriously, Jordan Peele gets me. • I’ll be back later talking about my current read and thoughts on DNFing. Until then...Happy Friday! 🖤🕵🏼‍♀️ • #scaredstraightstack

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!
