Women in Horror: Night Worms- A Woman Owned Business

Women in Horror: Night Worms- A Woman Owned Business

 

Yesterday, I celebrated 5 years of "Bookstagram". It occurred to me that where I'm at right now in my career is entirely dependent on the fact that 5 years ago, I chose to turn my personal Instagram account into a "Bookstagram" account.

If you didn't know, the hashtag #bookstagram is a little corner of the bookish universe hosted on the photo-driven app Instagram. If you click on the hashtag, you'll learn that there are over 54M photos. Basically, Instagram accounts created by book nerds dedicated to reading, reviewing, and...

Here are 10 of my favorite books from 2020 in no particular order (let’s just be happy I narrowed it down to 10, ok?). There is a brief spoiler-free emoji review for each book.
