    Anchor.FM and other Podcast Flatforms: https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/U6Z4KpWcLDb Welcome to my book review of You're Not Supposed to Die Tonight by Kalynn Bayron. The setting and atmosphere of You're Not Supposed to Die Tonight is isolated and creepy. Kalynn Bayron creates a work experience at Camp Mirror Lake for Charity Curtis with just as many perks as hiccups. Taking advantage of an unsupervised summer job, Charity is living her best life curating a full-contact horror experience for those who are brave enough to face Camp Mirror Lake. It's tainted, but hidden history is the main attraction. What happens when hidden history is revealed and tries to repeat itself? Strange things start happening, and what a ride it was! Check out the episode. Answer the podcast question and poll. Don’t be a stranger and let me know your thoughts in the comments. Have you read this book? What were your thoughts?

  • Let’s Do It Again: Reading A Book for the First Time Again
    May 21 2023

    Hello! This episode is my answer to Facebook post that came across recently. Which is:

    If you could read a book for the first time again, what book would you pick?

    I really enjoyed recording this episode. It really puts into perspective the relationships I have and the books I've been fortunate enough to be gifted and how they've influenced me or made me felt. I had a lot feelings, but the best feeling of them all was joy.

    If you'd like to follow along, feel free to open another tab and check out the blog post at Reading Beyond the Book Cover.
