4. Smith & Friends & Sons Arcane Goods & Such - Last book you added to your want-to-read list

❋ ❋ ❋

Last to Leave the Room by Caitlin Starling is a solid horror sci-fi thriller.  The second half of this really pulled me in and hooked me so I'm glad I decided to stick with this. It wasn't quite what I was expecting but I liked the slow building creepiness of it even if it took its time getting there.  That said, I think I might prefer to see an onscreen adaption of this story.  That could be really cool with the right cast.

My review is also on Goodreads.

5. Occult Premonitions - Prompt based on a random tarot card

❋ ❋ 

How to Wash a Cat (The Cats and Curios Mystery #1) by Rebecca M. Hale is a novel I spotted at a library book sale and thought it sounded cute even thought cozy mysteries aren't usually my thing.  Honestly, I came for cats and stayed for the cats.  Definitely not worth returning for the rest of the series in my opinion in regards to the near non-existent mystery.

7. Owlcat Craft Cafe - Listen to an audiobook whilst crafting or craft in the title

❋ ❋ ❋ ❋ 

Hannibal (Hannibal Lecter #3) by Thomas Harris  is my first every Hannibal Lecter book.  I've seen most of the movie and tv show adaptations which I've loved for one reason or another, so it's cool to try a piece of the source material.  The author does such a good job as the narrator of this as well! I'm going to have to try more soon.
