panA collection of short stories, inspired by the music of the alternative era, from contributors including Josh Malerman, Meg Gardiner & Paul Tremblay.
I like the music of the era (Depeche Mode, Garbage, New Order, The Smiths etc), these short stories based on the music - not so much. Whatever the authors were aiming for with this collection, I just did not 'get' it, however, other reviewers really enjoyed them so don't let me put you off.
pickReturning from an army tour in Iraq, Nate Hankes feels adrift & so decides to hike the entire Appalachian Trail. At almost 2,190 miles long, it would take between 5-7 months & involve meeting with unpredictable weather & challenging terrain. Nate is joined by his brother, Ben, & initially this seems a mistake as Ben is not 'all in' initially. As the miles tick by though, the brothers make friends with other 'thru-hikers', (continued)
It might be Christmas in April. Four books I wanted to read and thought I'd never be approved for. 😁😁😁

pickThis was rather entertaining. I love anything in abandoned resorts/theme parks so the setting was a plus. Yes, there was some of the usual YA stuff: two characters not communicating & assuming what the other was thinking, an historic misunderstanding to start off the animosity, & the almost ubiquitous love triangle, but it all worked here.

TBH highly disappointed in lack of FMC growth & substantial plot in Bond That Burns until the last 25%. At least that is one of my #readyourkindle down for the month. Highly recommend the audiobook for tagged. The narrator was phenomenal! The #netgalley #arc was my favorite. Unique in a genre thats heavily overpopulated now with so much action/political drama.
Thank you to #NetGalley and #SimonAcumen for the Giveway win! I had no idea I‘d get TWO Hardcopies…I‘m not sure if they are trying to tell me something! LOL!
TWs: suicide, animal death, sexual assault, homophobia, infidelity.
My thanks to #NetGalley & publishers, Ruadan Books (IBPA), for the opportunity to read an ARC. 13h
