Anthologies I read some of in August (but have not yet finished)
The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales by The Grimm Brothers I read 13 more stories in August. I realized there are 2 stories with the number 151 and all other numbers are accounted for so I read one more than I planned to to stay on track, as there are 211 stories.
Toil & Trouble: 15 Tales of Women & Witchcraft edited by Tess Sharpe and Jessica Spotswood I got an e-arc of this, so I do actually have 16 stories in it but one was taken out due to some sexual misconduct by the author, so I probably won't read that one (and if I do I won't count it towards the rating). I have so far read the first 3 stories, and have loved all of them!
Alien Sex: 19 Tales by the Masters of Science Fiction and Dark Fantasy edited by Ellen Datlow I have read the first 3 stories. I enjoyed the first 2, didn't care for the 3rd.
Tentacle Sex Collection by Sophie Walton There are 3 stories and i've read the first one. I really enjoyed it.
Horrors! 365 Scary Stories As there are 31 days in August, I read 31 more stories
Pomegranate Juice: Sacrilegious Tales of Dark Abrahamic Horror by Magnus Jaymes Wilton There are 12 stories in this one and I have read the first 4 so far and am really enjoying them!
Aickman's Heirs edited by Simon Strantzas There are 15 stories in this one and I have so far read the first 9. It's a mixed bag, really enjoy some, don't enjoy others.
I Also read 23 pages of Ichabod Jones: Monster Hunter as I had a sample. I'll probably buy it at a later date.
What I Watched in August
TV- My Little Pony, Stay out of the Basement, Monster Blood (part 1)
Continuing to watch My Little Pony season 8 episodes as they come out, love those ponies! After reading Stay Out of the Basement and Monster Blood I watched the episodes on Netflix. I really liked Stay Out of the Basement. I liked Monster Blood but I did prefer the book.
Movies- Phantom of the Opera, Bride of Chucky, Nightmare on Elm Street #2, Poltergeist #2
Not much to say other than I loved all of the movies. Phantom of the Opera was a shock to me as I didn't think i'd care for it, it's not normally a movie i'd watch but I did because of BooktubeAThon, and i'm glad I did! Maybe in the future I can figure out how to rate movies like I do books and discuss them more.
Podcasts- Books in the Freezer I listened to the first episode and really enjoyed it! I will be listening to the rest of the episodes. First podcast I've ever listened to!
