Monster, She Wrote: The Women Who Pioneered Horror and Speculative Fiction | Lisa Kroger, Melanie R. Anderson

pick

This is an interesting book of short descriptions of women authors of early gothic stories to present day. I don‘t consider myself much of a horror or speculative fiction reader, but I enjoy reading a wide variety. There were several authors I have read and plenty more that piqued my interest. I enjoyed the listen, but a print copy would be ideal for better noting books to add to a TBR.

Mythmakers: The Remarkable Fellowship of C.S. Lewis & J.R.R. Tolkien (a Graphic Novel) | John Hendrix

Today I learned that J.R.R. Tolkien & Edith (his future wife) spent time in tea shops as teens throwing sugar cubes into the hats of unsuspecting ladies.

This is a graphic novel biography of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, and so far I‘m intrigued by how it‘s put together. It‘s also nice to read something a bit lighter about them.

Monster, She Wrote: The Women Who Pioneered Horror and Speculative Fiction | Lisa Kroger, Melanie R. Anderson

I feel I haven‘t read much nonfiction this year,
so I‘m trying to remedy that with some #NonfictionNovember choices. I‘ve started this audiobook about female authors of horror & speculative fiction. It‘s fascinating & mentions a good mix of authors with whom I‘m familiar as well as others unknown to me. Each section gives a bit of author information & a reading list.

Hellhound on His Trail: The Electrifying Account of the Largest Manhunt in American History | Hampton Sides

BEFORE THE END: The Truth Must Be Told Whatever The Cost | GJ Stevens

#10BeforetheEnd

Featuring selections from #HauntedShelf #trappedinaspookyhouse #NFNovember and my in-person book club

ChaoticMissAdventures

ChaoticMissAdventures Great list!! I really liked Our Missing Hearts, I thought it was very effective, and I have not thought about Christopher Moore in so long, his older stuff was so much fun! Excited to see what you think about the dinosaurs! 3w

CSeydel @ChaoticMissAdventures I‘m hopeful! I‘ve heard good things about Our Missing Hearts (and I haven‘t exactly loved the last few books our club has picked). I‘ve never read Moore and I‘m very intrigued by the premise! 3w
