Who else was kinda fed up with how Carrie was treated, and maybe secretly had a little vindictive moment of "heck yeah, girl!" when she lashed out?⁠ ⁠ Do you like the book or movie version of CARRIE more? I only just read the book version earlier this year, but I loved it! I also love these Hodder editions of my favorite King books, not gonna lie. They're gorgeous!⁠ ⁠ Speaking of gorgeous, how pretty (maybe that's not the best word, considering she's covered in blood...?) is this Carrie paper doll bookmark by @astrangerdream? She's got a bunch of stuff on sale right now through the end of the year, so don't miss out!⁠ ⁠ The #bookstagram bookmark is available as a set in my Etsy (link in bio), plus a few other hashtag designs!!⁠ ⁠ And, you know, the irrelevant but colorful embroidery stuff is available at your local craft store! 😂 But support small businesses this holiday season - and always! Every single dollar spent means a lot to an independent shop, and all items are made lovingly!⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #makersgonnamake #stephenking #constantreader #carrie #booklover #astrangerdream #bookmarks #bookishmerch #makersgonnamake #bookworm #booknerd #bookshark

Today's #nightwormschallenge theme is Day 17: Short Stories - and I'm going with one I'm not sure if I've shown off here before! Which is a shame, 'cause this is one of my absolute favorite covers - how darkly beautiful is this?! 😍⁠ ⁠ THAT WHICH GROWS WILD is @eric_j._guignard 's collection of short stories that "collects sixteen dark and masterful short fiction stories by award-winning author Eric J. Guignard. Equal parts of whimsy and weird, horror and heartbreak, this debut collection traverses the darker side of the fantastic through vibrant and harrowing tales that encounter monsters and regrets, hope and atonement, and the oddly changing reflection that turns back at you in the mirror."⁠ ⁠ I've also got Eric's new novel to read, and I've added both of these to my start of the year TBR - is anyone else planning this far in advance for their reading lists, or am I just bananas?⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookworm #booklover #bookcollector #booknerd #booknerdigan #bookaesthetic #booklovers #bookcollectors #constantreader #ericjguignard #thatwhichgrowswild #nightworms #shortstories #horrorfiction #shorthorrorfiction

Who else is reading this one with me this month?! I'm loving it so far, although I'm only a few chapters in - so if you haven't started, it's not too late to join!⁠ ⁠ The #thanksgivingruinsreadalong is only a super lax read-at-your-own-pace impromptu readalong that I chose to do at the last minute, as I'd vowed to finish this one before the end of the year!⁠ ⁠ I haven't seen the film, but I plan to after finishing the book!⁠ #nightworms Challenge - Day 16: Horror Feast!⁠ ⁠ Let me know if you're reading it, too - or if you have already!⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #horrorbooks #scottsmith #theruins #theruinsbook #booklover #bookworm #bookshark #booknerd #bookcollector #bookrainbow #rainbowbookshelf #rainbowshelfie #readalong #horrorreadalong #supporthorror #bookstagrammer

I finished this one recently and WOW, what a wild ride! I loved the bits of humor that can come through in certain horror books - this one was darkly funny, and I can absolutely see it being made into a movie at some point if we're lucky!⁠ ⁠ I loved the usage of modernity in the story, but I my one question is how it'll hold up a few years from now. So much of the story is reliant on technology, current trends and apps and things that people use - I got all the references now, but I wonder if that'll be an issue for it later along the lines for horror fans and readers?⁠ ⁠ Either way, since we're all current horror fans and know what Tinder and ghosting someone is all about, I'd definitely recommend this! It's a thicc boi of a book, but don't let it intimidate you - some pages are text exchanges between characters, which speeds stuff up a bit, and the entire book is well written and engaging to the point that it honestly goes by in a flash!⁠ ⁠ I haven't yet read Jason Arnopp's other novel, but I do own it and plan to in the new year. Maybe January or February!⁠ ⁠ If you've read GHOSTER, let me know what you think! Also, how are we liking this diagonial placement of my boards? I think it looks pretty!!⁠ ⁠ #nightwormschallenge Day 15 - Cover Buy!⁠ ⁠ #booklover #bookcollector #horrorbooks #jasonarnopp #ghoster #bookworm #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booknerdigan #bookshark #flatlaybooks #bookflatlay #bookcollection #horrorfiction #bibliophile #booknerd #bookaddict #bookphotography #bookaholic

How gorgeous is this spooky ghost cover? Biggest thank you to my gorgeous friend @howlinglibraries for sending me this book for my birthday a couple months back - she is the sweetest, and posts QUALITY book reviews on her blog. Definitely follow her if you aren't already. Her posts are beautiful, she's an incredible advocate for inclusivity in books & reading, and her taste in reading materials is excellent!⁠ ⁠ Book synopsis:⁠ In the faux-documentary style of The Blair Witch Project comes the campfire story of a missing girl, a vengeful ghost, and the girl who is determined to find her sister--at all costs.⁠ ⁠ Once a year, the path appears in the forest and Lucy Gallows beckons. Who is brave enough to find her--and who won't make it out of the woods?⁠ ⁠ It's been exactly one year since Sara's sister, Becca, disappeared, and high school life has far from settled back to normal. With her sister gone, Sara doesn't know whether her former friends no longer like her...or are scared of her, and the days of eating alone at lunch have started to blend together. When a mysterious text message invites Sara and her estranged friends to "play the game" and find local ghost legend Lucy Gallows, Sara is sure this is the only way to find Becca--before she's lost forever. And even though she's hardly spoken with them for a year, Sara finds herself deep in the darkness of the forest, her friends--and their cameras--following her down the path. Together, they will have to draw on all of their strengths to survive. The road is rarely forgiving, and no one will be the same on the other side.⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #constantreader #rulesforvanishing #katealicemarshall #yabooks #horrorbooks #horrorfiction #mysterybooks #rainbowshelfie #ilovebooks #booklover #booknerdigan #bookworm #bookshark #bookshelf #rainbowbooks

How pretty is this cover? I wasn't sure what to expect from this one by @haileypiperfights, but I was NOT disappointed! 5 big beautiful stars for this novella!⁠ ⁠ I read this one with some of the @night_worms crew in our #anightwormpossessed readalong, and it's always a great time being a part of these! Having a group of people to read things with is part of why I joined the community in general, and my Night Worms family is wonderful!⁠ ⁠ If you're looking for a short & incredibly unique possession novella, look no further! Check this one out - it's available as an eBook and as a paperback.⁠ ⁠ This also technically works for Day 12 of the #nightwormschallenge - Faces on the Cover! It's an animal's face, but that still counts, right? Hahah.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booklover #thepossessionofnatalieglasgow #haileypiper #bookcollector #horrorbooks #novellas #horrornovellas #constantreader #bookworm #bookshark #booknerd #bookish #bookaesthetic #rainbowbookflatlay #flatlaybooks

I'm trying to get back on track with my #nightwormschallenge November posts, but I forgot today's - even though I had the photo prepped & ready all week, ugh! Even though I already posted today, I'm posting again!⁠ ⁠ I was tagged by @carissa_reads, @kamis_korner, @pageandparlor and I think someone else but it's not in my tags (maybe it was in the caption??) so I forget, sorry!! - for the #barebookstack! This is a stack of bare books without their cover jackets, and of course I went with a colorful sort of theme.⁠ ⁠ Green & yellow spine books were hardest for me to find!! I also apparently don't own a huge amount of hardcovers (especially outside of my Book of the Month collection).⁠ ⁠ Today's prompt is Day 11: NAKED BOOKS!⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookworm #booklover #bookstack #rainbowbooks #rainbowbookstack #rainbowshelfie #rainbowbookshelf #bookcollector #constantreader #booknerdigan #booknerd #bookloversofig #bookrainbow⁠

How freaking gorgeous is this book!? It was a birthday gift from my boyfriend, and it's one of my favorite King covers that I own!⁠ ⁠ Does anyone else collect the Barnes & Noble "leather bound classics editions"? I don't have a lot of them, but couldn't pass this one up! I actually went to two different locations to find it, and had them put it on hold in between so it wouldn't get sold!⁠ ⁠ Of these, I've actually only read Carrie! Don't @ me, bros - I have a lot of King books, and am slowly but surely making my way through, I promise. I like to vary my reading a lot though, and I've found so many wonderful authors in the last couple years that I've gotta spread the love!⁠ ⁠ If anyone was interested, I was planning on reading The Shining for the first time next month! Would anyone wanna participate in an official readalong? 🤔⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #stephenking #constantreader #booklover #barnesandnoble #leatherboundclassics #stephenkingbooks #rainbowbookshelf #bookshelf #shelfie #rainbowshelfie #bookcollector #booklover #bookworm #booknerd

I keep doing this whole lapse thing in between posts; whoops! (Again). If I’m paying for my URL and hosting, I should theoretically be able to post whenever and not feel guilty by the frequency (or lack thereof)… right? This time, I have three (!) excuses: Life Work SIMS! I am verrrrryyyyy wrapped … Continue reading →
