reading update

🐍 Finished up I, Medusa by @ayanagray_ I can’t wait to grab a physical copy tomorrow ( NOV 18) to tab and share my full review and favorite quotes for this 5 star beauty. Prepare to be sick of me mentioning this story often.

📸Soul Searching by @authorlylasage was so good ! It made the best comfort read for my rainy weekend. It had all my favorite things photography, antiques, 90s references, and a haunted town. Collins and Brady are so cute. Their conversations during their ghost hunting adventures were hilarious and adorable. I’m a photographer so the connection to the otherside and photography, also the full circle photo moments were just so wonderful. Love this series so far.

🍁Did we all collectively go feral for the Frankenstein film ? I’ll never look at a leaf the same. I have not read it yet but plan to soon. I think it’s so powerful how different types of art can ignite something in someone to want to read ! Love seeing how so many people are wanting to read after watching the film.
