The Fireman by Joe Hill

The Fireman by Joe Hill ⭐⭐⭐⭐ There were times when reading this I had to pause, the character of Jacob was very triggering for me and sent me mentally to places I did not wish to go back to. To the point that I was going to DNF it, I'm glad I breathed through because I wanted to know what was going to happed, I was invested. I found The Fireman to be a very interesting and messed up read. Also feels fitting for the times in which we are living. I don't want to spoil anything but the cult like actions and some scenes (if you have read the book, the snowball scene in particular) are very intense. This is a strange book, horrific yet hopeful. Despite the triggering, I'm still going with 4 stars because it's a story that will grip ahold of you and you want to know what will happen. Joe Hill it truly is fathers son.

2021 Bookish Goals

  Happy New Year! 2021 Bookish Goals Welcome back to the beginning. A new year, a new start. What do you want to do with it? How are you going to live it? What do you want to make of it? I've been making a list in my journal on sticky notes through out December of my bookish goals, and I have a few.  Heads up I know I'm contradicting myself with some of these, but it is what it is.  1.Embrace the DNF: I'm not talking the soft ones, it's the hard no this book is not for me or I hate it, put that down and don't look back ones. I have to learn not to torture myself in 2021 2. Finish some series: I have soooo many book series that I have started it's rather quite ridiculous. Even if I can't finish them all (which realistically I won't or can't) I want to at least get further in as many as I can. 3. Read for me: Reading challenges where there are prompts are fun in all but sometimes forcing ones self to read a book when your not in the mood can lead to sl
