My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh | Book Review
Do you have a favorite vampire book?
I loved it! One of my favorite books of the year! And I cheerfully refuse is such a good book title not just because of the book in the book, Rainy refuses to succumb to sorrow, he continues living and creating relationships despite his circumstances, idk it just gave me so much hope for humanity while also depressing me lol
I loved it too, I felt the same. It was very sad, yet hopeful at the same time. Such a beautiful story.😊📚
Loved this book…first book I’ve read by her
Me too, it’s one of my favs. Coates writes addictive reads. ☺️📚
You should sell Fire Cider! I would by from you! 🔥
That would be cool, it just takes so long to make it. ☺️
I only have 2 Stephen King books, the shining, and you like it darker, both I need to read yet, skimmed through the shining but need to read thoroughly 📒
The Shining is one of my favs and the sequel Doctor Sleep is pretty awesome too.☺️📚
Fire cider! Might make some 😊
Heck yeah, it’s not too bad to make it’s the part of straining it at the end and getting all the juice out that is a bit tedious. But totally worth it.☺️
You'll have to update us on how the fire cider works for you this cold and flu season. I'm curious. Night Shift is an outstanding collection.
Will do! I’m looking forward to Night Shift.☺️📚
That fire cider looks good! I imagine it would just burn any germs away! So excited for our DT discussion. The ending is mind blowing 🤯!
It’s good stuff, after a while of drinking it, it becomes a taste that is decent. I just finished the Dark Tower, wow what a journey. I’m excited to discuss it too! I’m free after Christmas to chat about it, let me know what works for you.☺️📚
Woah that sounds mad sketchy. How does one write a memoir with no information about the person haha The scariest part of this story is getting a one month deadline on a book.
Right?!?
That’s so cool that a fellow book reviewer made his own horror stories. I’m just waiting on the book nook horror stories next! 😮
Yeah, it’s a great book! Maybe one of these days.☺️📚
Awesome books as always! Wishing you an Alpha an amazing holiday and wishing you both the best! Can’t wait for 2k subs coming soon.
Hope you have a good holiday too!
All of them sound really good. But I agree. Possessed kids of any kind are terrifying. Especially the black eyed kids are so scary.
They freak me out! 😨
I should’ve seen that coming. It’s always a freaking cult 😂
It sure is. 😂
Attack on Sasquatch Valley was a five-star read for me, too. Great review!
Thank you! Heck yes! It was so good.☺️📚
You always share such good books. Another add for my TBR
Awww thank you.☺️ Hope you enjoy it!
Great Review Syn! I gave it four stars but it was still an awesome read. I Am The Night was so tense, atmospheric and thrilling, I was so rooting for the mom.
Thanks Cliff! Yeah, I Am the Night was definitely tense, so good! They were all pretty awesome. I do love me some Bigfoot horror.☺️📚
Do you have a favorite Bigfoot or Cryptid horror book?
I loved Johnny Compton's The Spite House. I'm excited to read Devils Kill Devils. Uncanny sounds amazing!
Yesss! The Spite House is great! Devils Kill Devils is pretty awesome.☺️📚
For me, the last 25% of Devils Kill Devils was great… But up until then it was soooo slow 🐌
For me it felt like there was constant motion. But I also had been reading books about nature and cozy books so maybe compared to those slower paced books it felt like it was fast moving the whole way through. I really liked it.☺️📚
New follow
Thank you! Welcome to the ramblings.☺️📚
Always a pleasure, Syn.
😊📚
I just finished The Haunting of Moscow House earlier today. That makes 2 books in 6 days. lol This Cursed House and this one. It was also fantastic IMO. Another one I simply could not put down. I will admit it starts off a bit slowly and can be initially confusing to read with all the Russian names, lore, and setting, but it got much easier to follow after the first handful of chapters the more that you read. There were also some slower moments focusing on romance and the characters’ love lives, but the hauntings and action picked up shortly thereafter and were great IMO. I also absolutely loved the lore behind the source of the haunting. Highly recommended IMO. It’s another one I could totally envision becoming a film. I think I’m going to read The Night of the Storm by Nishita Parekh next.
I definitely want to pick that one up. I'm currently in the middle of The Dark Tower (Book 7 in the Dark Tower series). This chonky book is 1000 pages and it's taking me a bit to get through. Good to hear you enjoyed The Haunting of Moscow House!😊📚
Это настоящий джеда настоящие новелла настоящий роман то что я чувствую что там именно всё в таком цвете оно всё в голубом цвете но явно дело вот именно что-то с морем что-то такое вот именно что-то такое вот именно такое интересное морское может быть даже морское путешествие куда-то они едут путешествуют вот скорее всего ещё даже и это могу прибавить его в мысли вот как бы угадать пытаться а они как бы куда-то плывут какое-то путешествие им интересно не путешествуют куда-то вот как Титаник вспомнить типа того фильма что путешествие было конечно один в один конец здесь у них какое-то путешествие может быть даже рыбу ловят может быть даже просто путешествует куда-то плывут именно такие красо
Значит что-то готовят они там я так поняла значит готовит какой-то ну к празднику готовится может быть еду готовят вкусную можно так сказать что не только вот романтические отношения могут разные быть но тут и при свечах ужин э что они сидят вместе прямо сейчас общаются романтики ну мечта это чем-нибудь такая мечта у них интересная есть
Очень приятно что вы очень рассказать про такую литературу да он пишет хорошие книги да это вообще это чудо то что редкий случай чтобы такие актёры как он и я до этого не знала этого когда я начала вчитываться в его книги которые он пишет и много интересного и месяца вы с которой я читаю очень читаю тоже хорошая литературы но вот эта книга - это вообще что-то есть это такое слово резервуар для меня что-то такое интересное как будто резерв какой-то вот что-то такое любовный роман какой-то там наверное что-то такое романтическое а вот и оно очень интересно чаще как-то позже романтический тексты встречаются у него там чаще какие-то немножко даже и детективного плана есть что-то там и но больше конечно же жанр у него это навыла это роман больше всего жанр жанр очень интересный
This sounds great! I loved Our Share Of Night so I need to check this one out.
It’s such an awesome collection, if you liked Our Share of Night then I would say definitely read it. It’s sooo good!☺️📚
This was one hell of a debut. I just plowed through this in 2 and a half days after reading We Used to Live Here. One of the best books I’ve ever read IMO. I could easily see this being a movie. It reminded me a bit of a movie from years ago called The Skeleton Key starring Kate Hudson. I simply couldn’t put it down. The author has real talent and I’m looking forward to more from her for sure. Her attention to detail was commendable. I’m now about to begin another book called The Haunting of Moscow House.
I agree, fantastic book. I also looooooved We Used to Live Here. You know, I saw The Haunting of Moscow House at the library when I was there and I didn’t grab it. Might have to get that one next time I go or put it on hold. ☺️📚
@@SynsBookNook We Used to Live Here certainly was another fantastic debut. I am still contemplating if it really was purely psychological with Eve or if there actually were portals inside the house leading to other dimensions. The ambiguity was genius. I forgot to mention previously that I loved the little nod to Henry James’s classic Gothic horror The Turn of the Screw in the fact that Jemma was a schoolteacher and thought she was being hired to tutor someone.
@ I think there were portals, but it is possible that it could have been purely psychological. Wild book.
I became completely absorbed right from the very first few pages! I could relate to Margaret’s craving for stability which is represented by the Victorian home that she refuses to leave no matter what.!!! The character development is very well thought out and continues to be throughout this book Margaret’s relationship with her only child Katherine shows how starkly they approach life in different ways, which then leads to frustrating experiences between the two of them! Katherine finally learns to depend on Margaret for her very life and Margaret has her daughter’s back. The reassuring spirit of the housemaid Fredrika is a calming presence in Margaret’s life and her frequent quote: “needs must when the devil drives” shows how Fredrika’s personality of just getting on with it no matter what is very parallel to Margaret’s approach to life .
It's always interesting to me to see the mother/daughter dynamic in horror stories. I liked how in this story the main character refused to move out of the house, since it seems like most traditional haunted house stories don't tend to do this. This was a wild read that was quite captivating and weird, I definitely look forward to seeing what this author does in the future.
I am terrified by underwater horror. But this monster sounds metal ah
It's super scary, kinda like space horror.
Love the premise. I always like seeing the MC grow and fumble and learn. The development is always good to see for depth.
I agree 😊
Omg another month down. Loved the Cryptid readathon. Keep up the good work. Hope all is well. Happy December haha
Thanks Fiyah!😊📚💖
I love the idea of a Cryptid encyclopedia. That must’ve been so fun to write.
There's a lot of weird knowledge in it. It's pretty fascinating to look through.
Bigfoot sees humans: GET EM OUTTA HERE! Get em up get em out!
Yep, get em out!
I heard of the elevator game. Scary idea. If it actually was a thing that would work every time that would terrifying. Like not looking at the woman. 😮
yeah, it's super creepy. I would never ever ever ever want to try it. nope.
I loved Deadpool and Wolverine. Marvel needed that boost. Really funny and well written I thought. Loved the dance at the beginning.
me too, great flippin movie!
When people warn you about going to a place or meeting someone and tell you to go back. DO IT 😂 They always crazy. Especially if then you find your related 😮
I know right!?!?
I love a good story where they kinda gaslight and make the MC question their own reality. Doing it from multi perspective is an interesting choice too.
usually I don't have any issues with multi-perspective but this one was a bit confusing at times. Still a great read though!
That ogopogo photo is scary. It does look like a wolf head. That’s why the ocean kinda scares me. We have no idea what’s hiding down there.
yeah, it's super creepy and weird looking.
I did not know that underwater horror was a thing 😅
One of my horror genre favs!
I didn't know "underwater horror" was a thing 😅
It’s one of my fav subgenres of horror.☺️📚
I thought it was a bit like Octavia Butler's books. I wonder if Ennis ever read Butler... . Anyway, Leech had a classic mysterious build-up, with amped up suspense over the final 3rd of the book. Looking forward Ennis' next book - evidently it is scheduled to come out in 2025.
I don’t know, maybe. I’m looking forward to their next book too. I liked how moody and atmospheric this one was.☺️📚
The rape, trans character, and gay character felt pretty poorly done. Felt like he was trying to add spice rather than writing with nuance.
It did a bit, at times it felt like a lot of subplots were being put into the main plot which made it a bit meandering. And then none of the subplots or those other characters were fully developed all too well. I did still like the main storyline but it felt a bit too busy.
I’m so happy and relieved that enjoyed my little book! Don’t Eat the Pie is not the greatest title. My brain is like, “Don’t tell me what to do!”😂
Loved your book! I know right?!? Don’t Eat the Pie, you’re not the boss of me!
I am glad I found your review. I finished the finished the first book and thought is was good but not sure if I thought it was good enough to continue the series. Sounds like I better fit it into my tbr.Thanks for the review. Subscribed.
Yeah, I grabbed this book because I saw it at the library and thought why not? I thought the first was decent. But this one is leaps and bounds better than the first, it made me excited to read the next one. Hope you enjoy it, thanks for watching!☺️📚
My favourite book of November was the third book of the Children of Time series, Children of Memory by Adrian Tchaikovsky
Nice! I think I’ve heard of those books but haven’t read them. ☺️📚
Great Wrap-Up Syn! I am reading Jason's book now, fun so far! Excellent reviews. I have heard about Coup de Grace and that it is an intense, powerful book. I hope you have a great December.📚
Thanks Cliff! ☺️ Jason’s book was great, really enjoyed it! Hope you have a good December as well!
What was your favorite book that you read In November?
The Thin Kid is definitely one of the best concepts to make this book realistic. Paul Tremblay does such a good job building the word of a late nineties, early oughts, horror. I am very excited to see what happens next, personally I think he's going to take a crack at early creepy pasta's, that entire phenomenon. Have you ever thought about collaborating with other creators? It would be really cool to pick apart another one of his books with you!
The Thin Kid is such an intense character, this book was darkly eloquent and tumultuous. Loved it! I've done some collabs with creators, just spent the past two months hosting readathons and currently working on a collab about The Dark Tower Series. This upcoming year I have a crazy life/work schedule and can't commit to anything new at time.
@ Totally understand, The Dark Tower is an all time favorite for me so I’m really looking forward to that series! I’ll be around, I always love learning about new reads!
Would you recommend this for a 11 year old? Because my younger cousin really wants this book but I’m not sure I should get her it
@@11Huskerthecat11 I would say no, there’s a lot of gruesome murder in it.
Can somebody explain the end of the story ?
I believe the haunting was caused because of the body that was bricked up in the wall. It’s been over two years since I read this and I don’t quite remember fully I’d have to revisit it.
