“This masterful portrait of Regency England blends Jane Austen's biting social commentary with ultraviolent depictions of sea monsters biting. It's survival of the fittest - and only the swiftest swimmers will find true love!”

pick4.6⭐️ this is book 2 of Christopher Moore‘s pine Cove trilogy. I‘ve got to say this one was funny as in the last, Aunt has provided me with my tagline of the year. However, this one does tend to be a little bit more crude and a touch less scary (if you can really caught any of these books scary) but still definitely worth the read.
pickShort story collections are so hard to review, but this anthology of horror stories of the sea was definitely more hits than misses for me. I picked it up mainly for SGJ‘s story, and I did love that trippy deserted island tale, but I also really enjoyed the stories by Alyssa Wong, Seanan McGuire, John Langan, and Michael Marshall Smith… the latter is a funny/weird/gross bananapants sort of zombie (?) story set on the docked Queen Mary.
⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
A young man survives a plane crash and is washed upon shore. As time goes by and he gets hungry, certain items show up, like chocolate popsicles. Then he remembers a magazine competition he entered as a kid. He had to send a list of 10 items he would want if he ever got stranded on an island. It gets emotional here because he remembers his #9 is his mom who died of cancer when he was young and she shows up. And almost immediately it turns 👇🏼

All Christopher Moore books are #Bizarre! but wholly entertaining and this one might be the weirdest one I‘ve read so far 🤪

A fun S&S adaptation that deep dives underneath the water. All ends well for all persons and fish persons!
Practice makes….better.
Third times a charm. Cozy-sized coffee #booksleeve. It actually fits my Vostok paperback perfectly.
So there are few books where the main characters live on buses, but how about living on an old cruise ship? ANd what about going monster hunting in an area underwater that looks like New York and the Empire State Building. Water World this book is not. Plus that age this book is meant for will have never heard of that moive.
