Wow, holidays are the worst. I really missed you last Monday. I didn’t know what to do with myself without having this special time to share book stuff with my Book Riot friends. Thankfully, we’re back, and it’s time once again to get into everything happening in the world of books. Let’s never have a holiday again.

Prepare Your Shelves!

Such Lovely Skin by Tatiana Schlote-Bonne (Page Street YA, September 17)

I mentioned this in a recent The Fright Stuff newsletter, but horror video games scare the heck out of me. After reading Tatiana Schlote-Bonne’s new novel Such Lovely Skin, I feel totally validated in my fear. This novel is so creepy, and it’s coming out next week! So it’s time to prepare your shelves because you won’t want to pass this one up.

Such Lovely Skin follows Viv, who has had quite a difficult summer after causing an accident that killed her little sister. But now Viv is ready to move on to the next chapter of her life. So she finally returns to Twitch, hoping she can make enough money off of streaming to offer her parents penance for what she has done. Then something strange happens. While playing a horror game, an NPC asks Viv for a secret, and she finally tells the truth about what happened to her sister. Little does Viv know that by doing so, she has welcomed a demonic mimic into her life.

Monday Memes

Right now, the only thing I’m thinking about is Sabrina Carpenter’s new album Short N Sweet. Thankfully, there are bookish memes for that. Y’all, if you haven’t watched the video for “Taste,” where have you been?

And Here’s A Cat Picture!

Here are examples of two cats sitting on the top of a couch. One seems to know what he’s doing. The other one seems to be hanging on for dear life. Someone, please tell Remy how to relax. He seems a little confused!

And that’s all for today, everyone. Thanks as always for tuning in, and I hope you have a wonderful week.

Emily
