Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle
A cozy afternoon, a queer horror story, and a surprising reflection Setting the Scene Hello, patrons of The Last Page Tavern. It’s Trevor, the, I want to say, proprietor or better put the tavern keeper. As I recorded myself, after the last page, I was drinking a cup of Hazy Peach White Tea. It came…

In the Woods by Tana French
After a very long reading and blog hiatus, I finally picked up a book that made me pace around my house fuming. Like, genuinely pacing. I even grabbed my recorder so I could rant out loud because my brain was on fire. So, what book did this to me?Spoiler warning — because I’m about to…

The Last Page: Everyone in my Family has Killed Someone
Life Update: Why This Review is Late So, it’s April 2, and this book was supposed to be finished last week. Or, actually, Monday. But it wasn’t. Life has been busy.

The Last Page – The Build-A-Boyfriend Project
Alright, let’s talk rom-coms. Specifically, let’s talk about the things I love, the things that drive me up a wall, and where this book lands. First off, a personal gripe: I don’t love the over-exposition of a main character’s romantic woes right out the gate. I get why it’s there—so we understand them, so we…

Taste Test #2 – Remarkably Bright Creatures
Part 2: Page 88-177 (up until Expect the Unexpected) Fully Immersed in Remarkably Bright Creatures I posted my taste test last week, and I have to say—using an audio-to-text transcriber has been a game-changer. It’s made my notes clearer and helped me track my thoughts as I go. I was able to add more detail,…
