There's a big twist at the end that makes narrative sense but the explanation given didn't make practical sense to me. granted, it was given by an unreliable narrator who was making some assumptions, but even the facts presented didn't make sense to me. the ending as a whole actually was a let down

Night of the Mannequins is like 2.5 for me. The narrators voice is well written for what he is (a delusional high schooler who is convinced he knows everything), but just wasn't able to get invested in the story at all bc just couldn't buy at all his belief in the giant mannequin.

So there is a line somewhere where you wouldn't vote for a Democrat nominee? Why isn't that line embracing Republicans and supporting policy that kills trans kids?

so, to be clear, you would also vote for JD Vance if he were nominated as the Democratic nominee in the general election?

House of Leaves is also tbr, but need a break from that genre after WUTLH. Also would like to check out A Time for Everything as a break from horror, bc a couple hop along songs are inspired by that book so I hear. we'll see. prob night of the mannequin first though cause it's short

not sure what I'm reading next. got Night of the Mannequins and Summer Sons gifted, but probably will hold off on the second for a bit because the past 2 books have been queers in horrible situations. Also put out a hold on Under the Dome and The Buffalo Hunter Hunter (wait-list is like 49 ppl)

strong central concept/ARG works for a nosleep format or just any shorter story, but it really fell apart for me in novel format. idk its maybe 2.5. Also the ending is all over

were so many things that were kinda just all forced together without much cohesion. The map at the beginning suggested rules based horror, there's doppelgangers, there's something something religion, there's homophobic attitudes. I feel like I'm repeating myself now but I think that relying on a

I feel like full length books need to be stronger. Any attempts at themes were limited to some iconography here and there. It really wanted to say something about religion, but instead of doing That it just pushed some Christian imagery once in a while. And that's the thing, I feel like there

I feel like it, along with finding out there's a sequel, just acted as a signpost that "hey, you're not getting answers in this book" which felt very frustrating to me as a reader. I guess my core struggle with it is while it had a strong central concept with Old House, it faltered in places where

We Used To Live Here: holding out on a rating until I collect my thoughts. Really wanted to enjoy this one, and I did somewhat. But somewhere along the journey I kinda felt let down. I guess the loss of interest sort of began when I found out it was an ARG. While I think ARGs are generally fine,

Tech bros making a company to take soul out of sculpting is still the story, just absurdly more frivolous and wasteful than a 3d print

this does not seem to be 3d printed though? no 3d printer artifacts are visible, and has pretty consistent marbling around the bottom right. It seems more likely that a palantir guy has tons of blood money to throw around

which completely takes me out of the book. also found Misha to be slightly unbearable at times. the Inspiration chapters were pretty solid though, albeit sparse (and also a bit on the nose). overall, was a bit disappointed after loving Camp Damascus.

Bury Your Gays: 3.5
It was fun I guess? I appreciated having a lighter book after TOGI, but some struggles I had with Tingles writing in Camp Damascus really came to the forefront in this book. Often, the characters will basically monologue to the audience about the meaning of the book

Okay finished the only good indians a while ago but didn't post. Overall it was like a 4 or 4.5? I really enjoyed everything, but struggled to get through it. There were a lot of times where I would have to reread what I just read to understand it. otherwise fantastic. read it
