Death By Stereo

Now Reading: The Circle by Dave Eggers

"What begins as the captivating story of one woman's ambition and idealism soon becomes a heart-racing novel of suspense, raising questions about memory, history, privacy, democracy and the limits of human knowledge."

Another book edge painting foray! This one was a lot of fun, but I did learn that it is possible for the gouache to be too thick. Some of it flaked off when I went to go break part the pages and trying to touch it up was NOT fun 😂

📚 “All may be fair in love and war, but this is ornithology.”

👍 This author is an insta-buy-and-read for me. Holton must love gag anime because that’s how this book reads; I’m just so smitten with all her works!

I absolutely adored this story, and the travels of Beth and Devon were so precious. It was so pure and yet purely Victorian. But now I wonder if Gabriel survived his cousin’s antics!

Meticulous and ridiculous and hilarious, just please: READ THIS BOOK.

👍This was a super twisty thriller. The formatting counting down to the FMC birthday increased my anxiety SO MUCH. Every time something bad happened, I kept wondering how things could get worse and they did 😂 The book had a classic Sarah Pinborough twist (if you have read Behind Her Eyes or seen the Netflix show then you know what I’m talking about)
SPEAKING OF
The epilogue tied this book to that book and I am HERE for it!
Off to go see if there’s other books that feature them!

👍 SUPER brutal cat and mouse thriller involving a serial killer and a medical examiner. I loved the reveal at about 70%. I appreciated the Hannibal references bc this book made me think of Silence of the Lambs 😂 The book was pretty short, (on audio it was only about six hours) so I finished in a day.
PSA- this ends on a cliffhanger!

DNF at 20%. Wallis seems so hungry and grasping and I don’t feel sympathetic to her. I’m actually feeling bad for her poor husband Ernest who seems like he is trying to do everything to keep her happy. I kinda don’t want to read about the inevitable cheating. I might come back to this later.

idealist at heart

in my opinion, there are 2 key takeaways from 'white fragility' by robin diangelo:

1. racism is not an ‘either / or’ binary but rather a continuum &
2. the challenge is to accept and grapple with this truth.

📚 “I care nothing for my life if she is not in it.”

👍 A satisfying conclusion to the duet. There were some cheesy parts, but overall I enjoyed it. I probably won’t continue in the universe anytime soon, just bc the tbr is ever growing 🙃

If there was ever a toe-in-the-water to the Fear Street series, this is it. It’s also the only copy of a classic Fear Street in size, cover, and price at my local Books-A-Million and I can’t help but feel that’s because it doesn’t bring the scares (or, really, much of anything).

The story centers on a douche of a dude who is so self-centered and full of himself that he challenges himself to date twins within a specific time frame. They both fall in love with him and begin to play off each other while a third sister - an EVIL sister - is thrown into the mix.

The only thing I kept thinking throughout the whole book is that SURELY sisters would talk to each other more. I mean, I wasn’t particularly close to my brother when we were teenagers, but we knew who each other was dating.

It wasn’t a dumb book per se, but it wasn’t anything special.

👍 MAJOR WWZ vibes, except more traumatic bc it’s a 2025 pandemic and the story is told in first person POV as the pandemic progresses. The wide range of human experience from incel conspiracy theorist, to grieving widow and mother, to the scientists trying to find a cure were done very well. The exploration of grief was a big theme as there were some truly heartbreaking parts. There were some happy parts too and I felt finding that balance was important. I also loved the geopolitical commentary/what ifs. I highly recommend the audio as it had a full cast!

👎 Canada (iykyk)

Hi Friends. I have many copies of my novel, ANYWHERE BUT SCHUYLKILL!
If you send me $27 via Venmo (@Michael-Dunn-565) and your mailing address, I will send you a signed copy! (Shipping included)

In 1877, twenty Irish coal miners hanged for a terrorist conspiracy that never occurred. Anywhere But Schuylkill is the story of one who escaped, Mike Doyle, a teenager trying to keep his family alive during the worst depression the nation has ever faced. Banks and railroads are going under. Children are dying of hunger. The Reading Railroad has slashed wages and hired Pinkerton spies to infiltrate the miners’ union. And there is a sectarian war between rival gangs. But none of this compares with the threat at home.

You know what? Let’s go back to the beginning. To Fear Street #1.

I keep getting thrown with the Columbo/Law & Order: CI openings where a crime is committed by SOMEONE and then the story actually starts, but it’s fine. I like Columbo and I LOVED CI.

I will say that a common critique you’re going to hear from me is a plot driven by poor communication. It’s a pet peeve of mine and just lazy writing. It’s also all OVER the Fear Street series.

Anyway, this book centers around a kid in high school who falls in love with the new girl, Anna. It IS a little strange that none of his friends know who she is, has her in their classes, and everyone that DOES know Anna insists that Anna…

Is dead.

I looked this up on Wikipedia to make sure I remembered the plot since I read this a couple years ago and it says that the boyfriend was convinced she was alive with her “human-like kisses.”

I literally laughed out loud.

Anyway, it turns out “Anna” isn’t Anna at ALL and she’s actually WILLA, Anna’s sister who killed Anna out of jealousy and assumed her identity. There’s a brother, Brad, and he plays a pretty important role. He shoved a girl down some stairs and I think he even killed a cat to stuff in a locker as a warning, but I don’t care about him.

My mind got snagged HARD on the idea that a teenage girl killed her teenage girl sister and just ADOPTED her personality. Where were her parents? Where was Brad? Why had nobody heard of Anna? Why is Willa going to school?

I just think that if you’re going to murder a sibling and assume their identity, high school years are the WORST years to do it.

That said, it was fun to re-read and still way better than Goosebumps.

I’m excited for the next one.
