Today on bad decisions, I started reading a really good ebook and was like “oh I’ll just knit at my grandma’s, I don’t need to bring my iPad with me.” Stupid. Stupid behaviour
#was literally thinking about the book the whole time and reading it in snippets on my phone#which obvs Not the best thing to do when you’re visiting your grandma#i did knit like 2 more inches of my sock though#oh and because someone usually asks: the book is called the whistling#it’s by rebecca netley and i’m not sure why it sucked me in the way it did. but it did#listen i’m just a sucker for the gothic horror subgenre of ‘woman with Problems and who is probably hiding a terrible secret gets a job#nannying at a big suspicious remote house for obtuse owners who have a creepy child. and has to deal with ambiguously supernatural threats’#other recs: the turn of the key by ruth ware; bone china by laura purcell; the nesting by c j cooke#yes i know i should read the turn of the screw yes i own it no i haven’t read it#i think this type of horror/thriller situation just really gets me because i can imagine it happening to me lol. for a while i really wanted#to be an au pair; and i can just vividly imagine showing up to what seems like a really good offer of employment#but then the kids are creepy and hate you; the parents are deeply suspicious; you have like a 3 hour ferry crossing before you can reach#any type of authorities; and the attic room above you (it’s ALWAYS the attic room) has the fucking apparitions in it#and you can’t even say ‘fuck this shit i’m out’ because you’re broke as hell. horrifying#wait. is this also what jane eyre is?? should i read jane eyre.#personal
