The Howling by Gary Brandner
4.0
Really enjoyed the book. I’ve seen the movie a few times - the book is slightly different, but still completely enjoyable. A fun retro werewolf story.
The Bloody Tracks of Bigfoot by David Irons
5.0
A really fun cryptid book - wait, no, chalk it what it is - a Bigfoot revenge book! Full of twists, turns, gore, and a literal cast of characters. Key word: FUN! High recommend this author simply for giving a good time while reading a book.
American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis
4.0
Patrick Bateman would be perfect for Instagram. Tons of girls to chat with (victims), showing off luxury fashion (greed), announcing where you have reservations (look at me) and let’s not forget his next level homicidal maniac tendencies, misogynistic lens he’s had since childhood, utter nightmare shattering violent tastes, sexual perversions beyond anything you may have encountered, lack of empathy for all life, and well, his hair.
Fucking hated this character, BUT I would have dated him in the 1980’s. Absolutely loved this book. Let’s keep it a book and not a how to guide.

Dune by Frank Herbert

First timer to Dune and I LOVED IT SO MUCH! Had everything I wanted in a science fiction story. The hype is real about this book. Looking forward to Book 2!
Fangs by Sarah Andersen
5.0
So stinking cute! The book is comprised of vignettes. Each had it’s own story. Made me smile!
New Millennium Boyz by Alex Kazemi
3.0
I am not the target demographic audience for this book. If I were 15 years younger, then maybe. While some of the nostalgia was fun, it was overdone with the pop culture of the time. The book was fun at points and did have some endearing moments but the overall vibe just wasn’t for me. Three starts for putting the effort forward and for pulling out so many weird and random 90’s references.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
5.0
A love letter to those of us on the fringes, who would like a seat - but really don’t want to sit at the table. A bittersweet book about friendship, identity, hope, and love.
