The live show for Bright Young Women was so awesome. And I love all three of y’all’s channels! I’m trying to get through Monstrilio so I can watch the live show too. I’m often too late for the live, but I watch it later. Work always gets in the way of my reading lol

I think you've convinced me to give Everything the Darkness Eats another try! Maybe it's because I was doing the audiobook, I don't know, it just didn't grab me for whatever reason...but everything you've said here makes me think maybe I'm missing out...!

Thanks for this video. I really enjoyed your thoughts here -- and on Gabby's channel -- on Bright Young Women. It was such a good well written book -- I did give it 5 stars. But it is true that you cannot help but feel slightly uncomfortable about the fictionalisation of the trauma that they suffered. In a way it would have been much better to write that same book without the defendant being based on a real person. Monstrilio while it sounds interesting I now know is not a book for me. 👾👻

The woman who Pamela is based off of did write her own book. It is called A Light in the Dark: surviving more than Ted Bundy and her name is Kathy Kleiner Rubin.

Everything the Darkness Eats made me cry so yes, def look content warnings! Also my lowest rated book by them because the ending did not land for me either.😅 otherwise interesting characters, themes, and loved the weirdness of what was going on with Ghost's plotline.

I read the 'Fury' and I also found the narrator monologue very annoying! I just wanted him to be quiet. I think the twists and turns in the end were fun but nothing super memorable about the overall book. It was an interesting concept though so overall I liked it but not memorable in that it made me really think or say 'wow, what a book!'

I agree with all of that! 🙌🏻❤️

Pamela Schumacher is a fictional character. The survivor called Kathy Kleiner released her own memoir 'A Light in the Dark' around the same time as Bright Young Women. I don't believe Jesscia Knoll should be cashing is on a real life case, it should of been completely fictionalised. She has made no effort to direct people to Kathy's own story, to give a bit of context A Light in the Dark has 202 ratings on Goodreads and Jessica Knoll has nearly 60,000. Extremely icky
@ReadingWryly6 ай бұрын
Knoll at least spoke with Kathy in the writing of the book. She has written that Kathy helped her. But that is interesting that she’s already written a book!

I'm reading 'The Fury' now...and to me, the trope I'm finding annoying is the narrator that isn't unreliable, but is deceitful. How am I supposed to get into the story if the narrator keeps throwing out hints that he isn't being honest. If a narrator is unlikable then that dooms a story. For the writing alone, I am giving it 3.5 stars...but I just finished Act 2 so my rating might go down once I read the final 100+ pages. We shall see

My daughter just bought Dead of Winter for me today! I love Darcy Coates but everything I’ve read so far from her has been about haunted houses, which I do love. So I think this is going to be a different Darcy for me. ❄️🪓🔪😱
