Full Throttle: Stories by Joe Hill

2.0

DNF! It’s a collection of short stories and I read through some of them and I just wasn’t impressed. I usually finish all books but it just didn’t seem worth my time to keep going through the motions.

My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite

2.0

I’m glad this only took two hours to read because I didn’t like it. The first four pages were really promising but that was it.

salt slow by Julia Armfield

4.0

Solid lot of short stories. Love to see some solid wlw representation. Gave me strong Her Body and Other Parties vibes.

Dark Tales by Shirley Jackson

An excellent collection of short stories. Such a shame that I waited until this late in life to start reading Shirley Jackson.

The Bird's Nest by Shirley Jackson

4.0

Oops, it took me 3 months to finish this book. Not the books fault. Started out stronger than it finished but I still really enjoyed it.

Death in the Air: The True Story of a Serial Killer, the Great London Smog, and the Strangling of a City by Kate Winkler Dawson

2.0

Look. I had to read this book for class. Maybe the problem is I don’t care about London’s history and I don’t care about smog. Not enough killing and too much smog. It was well-written. I found myself skipping every chapter that I didn’t need for the study guide.

The Perfect Nanny by Leïla Slimani

2.0

Underwhelming.

Penance by Kanae Minato

4.0

Pretty good, I wish it would have stayed as twisted as it started out.

The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix

It was great (naturally) but not my favorite of his.
