The Night Sister (Jennifer McMahon) 2026 Re-read
I accidentally re-read this book due to me being disorganized and I only realized it when the two girls put on a show involving their pet chicken for their guests.

Dope * Sara Gran
They say once you’ve been an addict your biology is never the same. All your cells are so used to junk that they’ll never quite get over it. They’ll always crave dope. I’d never believed that before, but I believed it now. Because even though I’d been clean for two years, and I knew there…
Unbury Carol * Josh Malerman
This book is what happens when you have a good idea but a terrible execution – Unbury Carol was a solid meh for me and I abandoned it midway though as it became awfully predictable (a quick glance at the ending told me what I already suspected). The premise of the book is good. Carol…
