The Southern Book Clubs Guid to Slaying Vampires holds a special place in my heart! I'm going to participate in this fun! Also absolutely LOVE your IT tee!

Cirque Berserk and Dark Harvest sound so good! I’ve added them to my list.

First read-a-thon I'll be joining! (and my partner wants to participate somewhat as well) so excited 😁

I totally agree with you on Home Before Dark. I love love love it! So much so I sent a copy to my daughter and mother. And both loved it! My RS favorite ❤️

I can’t believe you read The Woods Are Always Watching while you were camping! 😆 I just finished that book last week, and that would’ve freaked me out. Every little twig snap…. 😬 I’m so excited for this! I’m glad to have found your channel via Katrina’s.

Omg did you do the green edges for Home Before Dark yourself??

[dg_reads]
