Amy, that looks good and it turns out I already own the ebook.
I just finished Catherine House which was so good if you like dark academia.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Because books.
Oh, that's on my wish list! It looks like exactly my thing.

Way to post and forget half of what I was going to say! I Monsters is big and complex but wonderful. I live everything about it so far.
And Kindle $1.99 deals are an indulgence I always allow myself, so I have a zillion books on my Kindle I haven't read yet. The problem is I forget t they're there, so every once in a while I have to scroll through the whole list.

I don't remember hearing about Monsters of Templeton but that sounds interesting. For $1.99? Twist my arm. Why does Lauren Groff sound familiar?
My January magazines just started popping up on my kindle, I don't need to be buying new books. I will have to give myself a stern talking to.

No, I have it in paperback, it wasn't a Kindle deal. For me! It might have been at some point.

Amy is me, if it is $1.99 or less on kindle and I’m even vaguely interested in it, I buy it. Then I can always find something for whatever reading mood I’m in.

Sorry, yes, I *did* buy it today because it is $1.99 and I will say "why not?" to a lot of things at that price. Up to $4.99, really, although that adds up fast and I should not be so spendthrifty. I looked it up because y'all were talking about it but not specifically because I expected it to be $1.99.

I have read a LOT of absolute garbage this year because it was available on Kindle Unlimited and I was trying to put myself on an eBook budget. So anytime something good is on sale, yes, snap it up!

I tried to stick to Kindle Unlimited, Jess, but unless I stumble across a whole series that I actually like that is all available there (which happened at least a couple of times and was awesome) I get discouraged after trying to wade through an unreadable mess that was in my "Picks for You" or whatever. And then because I tried it the author will keep showing up in my recommendations and I have to remember that, no, I do not recognize that name because I like them...
