Three stars and up from 2026! Just because I loved something doesn't mean you will and just because I didn't doesn't mean you won't.

a prophecy? count me in
A River of Golden Bones
I really appreciate the way the author wrote the narrator's voice different in the past vs the present. This was DARK
Hunger and Thirst
Nothing can compare to the first duology but this was still so good
The Songbird & the Heart of Stone
None of the characters are likeable and it's amazing
Nasty Little Secrets
not a perfect 5 but still so good and hysterical
Carl's Doomsday Scenario
Summer in the 90s is the perfect horror setting
Middle of the Night
this was vile...but in a positive way
The Troop
this book is made for the science nerds of the world
The Martian
crying just as I do at every Ali Hazelwood book
Two Can Play
not a fun read but a necessary one
The Radium Girls
kind of chaotic and not realistic but it was twisty
The Missing Half
angry women are the best main characters
The Sirens
MurderBot is so endearing
All Systems Red
who knew a friendship between a robot and a train would be so cute?
Artificial Condition
what a weird, spooky ending
We Live Here Now
a solid little thriller
The Night She Disappeared
Book 2 in the series and better than the first
The Fallen & the Kiss of Dusk

Everything Is Tuberculosis
this was a fun magic system!
Alchemy of Secrets
this is probably a five star if you're familiar with hitchcock
The Hitchcock Hotel
5 Stars
My favorite DCC book so far
The Gate of the Feral Gods
I love a decades old murder!
The Ghostwriter (Deluxe Edition)
just....don't worry about the train tracks
The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook
I didn't expect to love this as much as I did but I cried multiple times
Deep End
This is absolutely without a doubt worth the hype
Project Hail Mary
Book 2 in the series. I'm so attached to these old ladies
Kills Well with Others
The audiobook is even better but this is my favorite book of the year so far
Dungeon Crawler Carl
I don't understand why more people aren't talking about this!!
Half City
I'm not usually a short story girl but these are all so good and terrifying
I Know A Place
another absolutely phenomenal scary story from Simone St. James
A Box Full of Darkness
