Charles Yu, author of How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional UniverseWhat do you do when you wake up hung over and late for work only to find a stranger on your couch? And what if that stranger turns out to be an Adversarial Manifestationlike Satan, saywho has brewed you a fresh cup of fair-trade coffee? And what if he offers you your life's goal of making the bestseller list if only you find his missing Lucky Cat and, you know, sign over your soul?

What would you do if the Devil paid you a visit, and he promised to give you something you‘ve long wanted in exchange for your help in acquiring his stolen Neko cat? And that action would save the world? The Weirdness is a charming, supernatural romp which twists and turns to a satisfying conclusion.

New book mail! I recently read “The Insides” by Jeremy Bushnell and thought it was awesome. So, I figured with a title and book cover like this one, I couldn‘t be disappointed. And I was right! This book is really good so far. Read some Bushnell if you haven‘t 😼

This is a very weird book (as you might have guessed from the title) I read for one of my IRL book clubs. With the Devil as one of the main characters, there are lots of #darknecessities, #lookwhatyoumademedo, and #superstitious stuff. The only thing I liked was the lucky cat on the cover. #luckbealady #rocktober #melodiousmusicals #uncannyoctober #spookyoctober #multitasking

CrowCAH Another great job incorporating all challenges! 7y
Cinfhen #multitasking what an interesting choice for bookclub!!! Was it a good discussion??? 7y
rubyslippersreads @Cinfhen I don't think many people liked it, which actually seems to make for a better discussion than when everyone loves a book. 🤔 7y
monalyisha I liked this book! 🙋(I wasn't a fan of his other novel, though. 😕). 7y

This book definitely lives up to its title. Weird it is! Personally I did not find the main character very likable and the end was a little too "all tied up in a nice little bow". Having said that it was enjoyable and I finished it one day. I liked the first half very much and the wry dark sense of humor was really enjoyable as well.

This was a fun little book, with a wry sense of humor and a lot of twists and turns. It probably doesn't want to be described as "cute", but I'm going to go ahead and say it : it's cute. As cute as a book about selling your soul to the devil is apt to be. Some of the references will not age well.

The title of one is a given - Weirdness is just plain bonkers. Monster is equal as weird, but a fun, fast read.

Ps. If was only 48 hours, but I'm back from my trip without the internet! Which the only thing I missed was checking in on here with all your lovely post. 😉

LiteraryinLawrence Welcome back! 8y
rubyslippersreads Love the Maneki Neko on the cover. And I want to read some A. Lee Martinez. 8y
Robothugs I am one of those people that gets drawn to books by covers... Admittedly, I probably would've bought these based on the covers. 🙈 They both seem interesting, though! 8y

JPeterson @LiteraryinLititz Thanks! @rubyslippersreads You should! So far this is the only thing I've read of his, but I have a few more on my shelf! @Robothugs Oh, totally! Both were bought the same time at a used bookstore, solely based on the cover! 8y
Robothugs Have you read them both yet? 8y
JPeterson @Robothugs Yup! I think I read them right after each other, resulting in a very odd week haha. 8y
Robothugs I put 'em both on my TBR! 8y

This book was a wild ride. It was fun and funny, and, as the title suggests, totally weird.

Well, I can't say I was too thrilled with this. Mildly amusing, but I didn't really care much for the characters or the eventual outcome of the story. I nearly bailed with 30 pages to go...

What a crazy trip this book is! I can barely describe the plot because it is so darn strange, but it involves the Devil, a lucky cat statue, a warlock with a Starbucks in his castle foyer, and sex werewolves. Really. And I loved it!
