We Are Always Tender with Our Dead- hardcore horror fans only
Deadland- 2nd in series- good ??
Circle of Days- good fiction about Stonehenge, enjoyed a lot
The Slicks- can‘t believe this was £.99 for 63 pages and I felt like I could have written it (yes I should have then ?)
Gone Before Goodbye- enjoyable thriller
Killing Stones- just started this morning.

BarbaraBB Good week! 3d

squirrelbrain How much?! 😮 3d

AnneCecilie I get interested when I saw that the Slicks was about Taylor Swift, then I saw the price and thought I should wait and see if the library gets it 3d

TrishB @squirrelbrain @AnneCecilie it was a gift so I‘m complaining on their behalf! I definitely wouldn‘t buy though. It was like reading a magazine article. 3d

Reggie I wrote this on someone‘s Xmas card where I used to read horror because as long as we hadn‘t reached the outrageous we were alright. But everyday we are living the outrageous and I could never read the LaRocca. Not now anyways. 3d

TrishB @Reggie I definitely won‘t read the rest of the series. I realised I like my horror involving monsters not of the human kind. As there are enough human monsters in everyday life as you say. There is one scene in this book that won‘t erase from my brain, but I guess that‘s the point! 3d

Miss Harper has me so discombobulated that I have no idea what day it is (the cold meds aren‘t helping either!), I thought I‘d go ahead and post what I didn‘t post last Sunday. 🤪 #bookreport #weeklyforecast

Finished Wreck- enjoyed but didn‘t feel was anything particularly special.
The Black Wolf- so many twists and turns in this I got whiplash. This series is coming to a natural end I think.
Enjoyed The Eights- only 125 years since women were allowed to get degrees at Oxford. But remember there are women and girls all over the world not allowed an education 😕
Reading We Are Always- weird AF so far

Bookwormjillk I‘m reading Black Wolf now and thinking the same thing. 1w

Reggie lol, love this weekly report. 1w

TrishB @Bookwormjillk it‘s very hard to keep a series long running and I think authors (and probably publishing houses!) keep them going longer than they should and obviously why some authors start new series. 1w

TrishB @Reggie have you read any LaRocca? That was weird and very unsettling! 1w

Reggie @TrishB I have. It was the one about the lesbians. One is trying to sell an apple peeler online and it just gets so crazy. I don‘t think they ever meet but it becomes this thing about how far one can push the other and one of them ends up dead. It was wild. As much as I liked it, I never picked up another. 1w

TrishB @Reggie this one was off the scale in grossness. And I read a big cross section of horror! 1w
