Long Days and Pleasant Nights
@pleasant-nights.bsky.social
I review books of all genres, but love horror the most. 👻💀📚. I also cross-stitch- purchase bookmarks here: https://cozyhoopcreations.etsy.com Constant reader, ally, amplifier, believer that Love is Love and Black Lives Matter, promoter of unsung authors.
Still thinking about last night’s book club and the guy who mansplained that a 22-year-old character who was emotionally and verbally abused, neglected, body shamed and denied love by her mother should, “just get over it,” because she’s not a kid anymore.
Yesteryear Thank you, NetGalley, for this book. Natalie is a typical tradwife who spends her day cultivating her image on Instagram. She has a bunch of kids, a farm, and a following. However, as we peel back the layers, the reader sees that Natalie has been lying to us all. She has nannies and a…

Thank you, NetGalley, for this book. Natalie is a typical tradwife who spends her day cultivating her image on Instagram. She has a bunch of kids, a farm, and a following. However, as we peel back the layers, the reader sees that Natalie has been lying to us all. She has nannies and a full workforce at the farm. When her lies become apparent, her world explodes.

Garbage Town Thank you, NetGalley, for this book. The book starts after 9/11 with a police officer in charge of a dump site for remains. But when an old skeleton is revealed, she knows who to go to for the truth about who that skeleton is. Raj and his friends, the Victory Boys, are the misfits of…

Thank you, NetGalley, for this book. The book starts after 9/11 with a police officer in charge of a dump site for remains. But when an old skeleton is revealed, she knows who to go to for the truth about who that skeleton is. Raj and his friends, the Victory Boys, are the misfits of their neighborhood, which is known for Fresh Kills, the largest landfill ever.

The Vanishing Place Thank you, NetGalley, for this book. When Effie ran away from the New Zealand bush when she was 15, she cut all ties and vowed never to return. But when a girl who looks just like her appears in town, she's drawn back to help the girl and understand what happened to her. Effie…
The Vanishing Place
Thank you, NetGalley, for this book. When Effie ran away from the New Zealand bush when she was 15, she cut all ties and vowed never to return. But when a girl who looks just like her appears in town, she's drawn back to help the girl and understand what happened to her. Effie left an abusive, neglected past, and this girl seems to have survived something similar.

Freyja Thank you, NetGalley, for this book. I love a book with a unique location. While many books are set in Iceland, I don't stumble upon them much. I've read Jar City and The Night Guest, which are both excellent. And this one was steeped in Icelandic folklore, which was fascinating. Unnur is a…

Thank you, NetGalley, for this book. I love a book with a unique location. While many books are set in Iceland, I don't stumble upon them much. I've read Jar City and The Night Guest, which are both excellent. And this one was steeped in Icelandic folklore, which was fascinating. Unnur is a single mother with a mysterious past. When she was a kid, she lived on a farm, and her only playmate was the farmer's daughter, Freyja, who disappeared one day under mysterious circumstances.

The Burn Line Thank you, NetGalley, for this book. While in the London Tube, five strangers experience an odd occurrence. They don't exactly remember what happened, but are left with a greasy, flaky residue on their clothes. Each chapter is told from a different character's perspective, so when…
The Burn Line
Thank you, NetGalley, for this book. While in the London Tube, five strangers experience an odd occurrence. They don't exactly remember what happened, but are left with a greasy, flaky residue on their clothes. Each chapter is told from a different character's perspective, so when the five eventually find one another, they attempt to piece together the story of what they went through.

Sacrificial Animals Thank you, NetGalley, for this book. I love when books are inspired by the author's actual life. Pederson was adopted from China and raised on a Nebraskan farm, so this story is completely in her wheelhouse. The story explores Chinese mythology, which isn't something I often…
Sacrificial Animals
Thank you, NetGalley, for this book. I love when books are inspired by the author's actual life. Pederson was adopted from China and raised on a Nebraskan farm, so this story is completely in her wheelhouse. The story explores Chinese mythology, which isn't something I often find in horror books. And this one was great. Nick and Joshua are raised by their abusive father on a farm.

Pictures of You Thank you, NetGalley, for this book. Pretty sure I've read every book Josh Malerman has written. He's one of my auto-reads. No matter what the book is about, I'll read it. This one wasn't super scary, but it was still interesting because I had no idea what was really happening.…

This one wasn't super scary, but it was still interesting because I had no idea what was really happening. Emily and Jack are in love and maybe expecting a baby.
