Clown in a Cornfield 3: The Church of Frendo | Adam Cesare

pick

3.5 ⭐ Climbing the cornfield three takes us to a cult. This cult feels like an Amish society. They worship Frando and there was just weird crap that goes on. Like cannibalism and other things. There are a lot of leftover questions from this book. I know there‘s going to be a book for but this book barely connects to the other too. It does connect, but it‘s getting out there. It‘s like when Freddie met Jason in space.

LibrarianRyan They took a step too far. I didn‘t mind this book and I still love the series, but I need to see what happened next and I need all the holes filled. Like where the body comes from. How does it have the psychedelic effect. Lots and lots of questions 3mo

I had a total blast with this Christmas horror! I can't wait to read the sequel next year (Santa brought it, like he brought this one last year).

This book reminded me of No Country for Old Men, The Wild Bunch, and True Grit. With Anne, a bank robber and cult survivor stalked by a horror with a shifting face. There are epic shoot-outs, and general unease. This is a genre game changer. A must read.

This unfortunately is a soft pick for me. I loved the 1st and 2nd books in the series but this one felt like pure filler. We get the smallest speckles of previously known and loved characters and the rest is our main character running around trying to seek vengeance. It‘s left on a cliffhanger of sorts and I will definitely be reading any follow ups but it was my least favorite so far. 🌟🌟🌟

This is not a recommendation per se.
These just look like fun and they are on my Xmas wish list.

I‘ve been quiet on Litsy since Tuesday. I couldn‘t read for a few days. Life as we know it changed on Tuesday. I wrote the above to my friends the other day and I doubt this feeling will go away anytime soon. I have so many thoughts about our future but will save those for another forum. I will say though that as readers, especially of history, we can feel the danger. I just wanted folks to know that this white senior citizen voted for the future.

quietlycuriouskate I'm on the other side of the Atlantic and that's pretty much how I feel, too. 😰 4mo

Suet624 @quietlycuriouskate 💕 I haven‘t slept in days. 4mo

AllDebooks It's a very scary time, and the damage will be done globally. Take time to address your fears and anger, then ask yourself what you can do. Building supportive communities that protect the vulnerable is one. Love and compassion are always the answer, not hate and division. Unfortunately, the whole world has to deal with a President Elect who has nothing but the latter on his mind. It's up to us as citizens to stand up and say NO!!! 4mo

AllDebooks Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's post really helped me find hope. It's well worth a watch when you're ready. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DCDRaRoxJYW/?igsh=MXNwbDg4MmYxYWFrdg== 4mo

Suet624 @AllDebooks thank you for sharing your thoughts. I live in Vermont and by and large we are focused on community. We take care of each other. That being said, our state had a bit of a red wave here too. So I will work now to ensure that our reps stay true to our desire to be a port in the storm for people of all persuasions. 4mo

AllDebooks @Suet624 I'm in the UK and thinking of you all across the pond. You're not alone. X 4mo

Suet624 @AllDebooks Thank you. 💕 4mo

Librarybelle Thank you for posting this. On a different platform earlier this week, I shared similar sentiments regarding history and the dark parallels between today and other horrifying events. I‘m still numb. I can only hope. 4mo

Suet624 @Anna40 thank you. 4mo

Suet624 @Librarybelle thanks Jess. I guess hope is all we have. 😩 4mo

TrishB So sorry for you all 💔 4mo

Suet624 @TrishB thank you. Living in a supercharged evil empire was not on my bucket list. 4mo

AmyG We live in frightening times. I may never see our country as a democracy again in my lifetime. I feel like I am in mourning (I am). 4mo

seibelsays ❤️❤️❤️ I feel this too. 4mo

Suet624 @AmyG I think that's what a lot of people don't understand - that midterms and next elections may just go by the wayside or be manipulated by misinformation and Russian interference. So I'm with you on this. 4mo

Suet624 @seibelsays One of these days I might be able to rouse myself and push back against the hate that will surround so many. For now I need to pull back the pieces of my heart that broke on Tuesday. I hope you have folks around you who support you. 4mo

Graywacke @Suet624 I‘m with you. Most Americans that actually voted voted for a time-bomb, in full knowledge of what they were voting for. Meanwhile something like 1/8 of Biden voters didn‘t even vote. I‘m bitter and sad. But, take care of yourself first. Hugs. 4mo

DogMomIrene @Suet624 The oncoming misinformation and manipulation concern me as well. Institutions may not hold, especially if 🍊starts dismantling them per Project 2025 or similar. 4mo

Lindy You aren‘t alone. Grief is what I am feeling. Poetry helps. 4mo

Cuilin The grief and pain is absolutely real. I live in New Hampshire, which you know is also blue yet people who voted for Kamala Harris also elected a pro Trump Governor, it makes no sense. 4mo

Deblovestoread Exactly this. And somehow those of us who care are going to have to find the strength to pick up the pieces and help those who are damaged….which will include those who voted for the destruction 🤬🤯😭. Still vacillating between being furious and puddles of tears. 4mo

Lcsmcat You expressed exactly what I am feeling. It feels existential tome and yet around me in this swing state are people who are actually rejoicing. 💔 4mo

Suet624 @Graywacke I just had a very long visit with my Tibetan friend who was really really helpful. She understands my pain (for all of those who will be hurt) but is trying to get me to focus on taking care of myself first. I've turned off as many news sources as I can because each article just batters my heart. So, yeah, I'm bitter, but mostly grieving right now. I hope you find your way through this too. 💖 4mo

Suet624 @DogMomIrene Yes, I'm assuming that's going to be the case. 4mo

Suet624 @Lindy Realizing it was despair mixed with grief that I was feeling was helpful. Now I know that I can't move through grief quickly - it takes time. Then I begin the community work again. 4mo

Suet624 @Cuilin Hi! I forgot to see who won the Governor's race in NH. This is all just mindblowing. Vermont had more Republicans elected than expected. We still have a Democratic majority so I think we're good for a while but we reelected a republican governor for the 5th time in a row. Ugh. 4mo

Suet624 @Lcsmcat Oh gosh . I'm so sorry. So far I haven't seen anyone around me that is rejoicing but I know there are a few. I feel so badly for those folks in red states that have gloating neighbors and guys driving around in trucks with flags flying. That would be so hard to deal with. 4mo

Suet624 @kspenmoll Thank you so much for the phone call. It felt really good to talk and to sit in the moments of silence when we just had no words. 4mo

Suet624 @Deblovestoread Ugh. Yes. Grief is where I'm stuck right now. And you're right - it's people like us who end up trying to help people, even those who have voted for their own demise. 4mo

Lcsmcat @Suet624 I‘ve got like-minded people around me, but you‘re right, the big pick-ups with the monster flags are not a calming site. At least we didn‘t elect Mark Robinson governor. 🙄 4mo

Suet624 @Lcsmcat At least there's that. :) 4mo
