    Frankenstein is one of my favorites. So much deeper than I thought it would be.

    My Best Friend's Exorcism was an instant favorite of mine. One of the best portrayals of friendship in print.

    I love Frankenstein! It always amazes me that it's a debut novel by a teenager. The structure, themes and tormented characters seem so mature. Ace's face at the end! ❤❤

    That community garden was absolutely beautiful! 😍 I hate shopping for clothes too. I was actually surprised how much I didn’t like Frankenstein. I expected to be blown away but it ended up being just okay for me. But I can definitely appreciate its importance for literature and the horror genre.

    Aww, poor Ace. I read Frankenstein for the first time a few years ago and loved it. I was actually surprised because I always thought it would be boring.

      Yes! Very surprising. Mary Shelly’s original draft reads very quickly.

    Loved this little glimpse into your week. So much going on, I don't know why you would need to do better next week ^^ I know we all measure ourselves and what we do, and usually think we're falling short, but I thought this was great. And shopping for clothes is the worst. I really appreciate the slow pan on the little free library so that I could pause and look at the titles and read The Great Controversy in Eminem's voice. Hope life is treating you well!

    Hello! Another great vlog as always :) I love seeing what you get up to. I'm glad to hear you liked 'My Best Friend's Exorcism', I've yet to dip my toe into horror but perhaps come autumn 🤔I hope the summer weather is treating you well, and look forward to your thoughts on Frankenstein. My Best to you and Ace, see you around 👋

    I really enjoyed my best friend's exorcism and it is my favourite grady hendrix so far! I really liked how it handled the psychological horror side or it with the friendship storyline too. Frankenstein is one of my favourite monster classics as well. I adore it.

    I read Frankenstein for the first time too recently. I loved it! I have an illustrated version which was cool. I was quite impressed with not only how good and deep the prose were from a book in 1818 but easy to read at the same time.

    I've only read one Grady Hendrix books, How to Sell a Haunted House, and didn't like it all that much... I read quite a bit of horror, though, it was just... meh.
    I wonder how Americans would experiense summer here, as most people don't have AC.
