Surf Noir 188,277 Posted April 3, 2023 twilight's child by v.c andrews... yes, i'm still trying to read through all of the v.c andrews books i have around... this is a process which is taking years because sometimes i'll go months without reading anything, i may want to find something different to read before i start the next series after this one (also, i'm aware these books aren't necessarily literary masterpieces but they sure are entertaining!) 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mer 51,426 Posted May 25, 2023 Over the weekend I read My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh. Not very deep, but quite a fun, quirky read. It definitely tries to be deeper than it really is, but if you ignore the pretension of its themes, it can be enjoyable. 2 Quote who's afraid of little old me?

I read them when I was 12 and just became obsessed. I looooove me some Vc andrews🙌🏻 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I found it quite funny in parts, read it a few years ago and for some reason I’m having trouble remembering my reaction to it, maybe it deserves a reread… 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

filanity 110 Posted December 1, 2023 I'm currently reading Rouge by Mona Awad and I love it even more than Bunny! I can totally recommend it to all Lana fans because it has a very melancholic yet beautiful vibe. However there is an insane amount of Tom Cruise in this book for some reason... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If there's even a smidge of Tom Cruise its probably not for me. Haha. I am halfway through Jack The Ripper Unmasked by William Beadle. If you want to shit yourself because of gore and suspense, you might like it. It moves slower than other Jack the Ripper books so maybe a little less excitement, and less crap in your pants? 1 Quote threadbare tapestry unwinding slow.
