It’s time for a weekly check-in!
Happy Friday the 13th, friends! This post almost didn’t happen because I totally forgot to write it up last night, whoops. 😅 It’s been a bit of an odd week but we’re making it! Weather permitting, we’re taking Isaac to a museum this weekend and I’m really excited about that. Do you guys have anything fun planned for the weekend?
Don’t mind me, just flying through the Horsemen series while I ignore the rest of my TBR~
War wasn’t quite as good as Pestilence, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. Creatures of the Night was, unfortunately, by far the worst of the In Darkness, Delight anthologies, with very few enjoyable stories in it. Freaky Briefs was hilarious and I definitely recommend it to anyone who loves dark horror-comedy stuff!
- War // Laura Thalassa ⭐⭐⭐⭐
- In Darkness, Delight: Creatures of the Night // Andrew Lennon & Evans Light ⭐⭐
- Freaky Briefs: 75 Short Absurdities // Jeff Strand ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫
Since one of my 2023 goals is to read 6 or less books concurrently, I’ll keep using this section to show all of my current reads until I can get down to that number (and maybe afterward, too, since having the limit would make this section shorter again lol).

I didn’t watch or play anything this week, really. I’m not even sure what I did this week. 😅 It was a rough mental health week and was a bit of a blur, tbh.
Heads up: you can always friend me on Letterboxd if you wanna see my movie mini reviews!
What are you reading right now, or what did you recently finish? Is anything exciting happening in your life? Let me know in the comments!
