I listened to this on audio and it was pretty good!
I forgot how hungry Ichabod seems to be… maybe it is just more obvious in audio 🤣

One of my coworkers based in Texas brought some candy corn over, and some pumpkin spice m&ms. I didn‘t mind the candy corn but am definitely still #TeamPumpkinSpice

This has Before The Coffee Gets Cold vibes, and I was finding it mildly enjoyable, and then the third of the three chapters came along and hit me in the feels.

Just a reminder that November‘s #LosersClub read is #differentseasons Put your library holds in now, search your shelves, or buy a new copy, and check back on or about Nov 1st, when we begin reading this one. Discussion will be at the end of the month! I didn‘t have the book! 🙈 I just ordered it, but this one is featured #StephenKing #StephenKingInOrder #KingFromTheBeginning #ConstantReader #ReadAlong #BuddyRead

AUTUMN CHILLS | Agatha Christie

Mehso-so

My first Agatha Christie because I needed an autumn cover.

I've watched all of the adaptations so it was interesting to read the source material. I approve of the TV series inserting Hastings into everything.

Faranae TV show Hastings is also a huge improvement over book Hastings. Honestly, I like the Suchet Poirot better than the books (yes, yes, pillory me!). 1d

OutsmartYourShelf I've got this one but not got around to reading it yet. Nice autumn cover. 1d
OutsmartYourShelf @Faranae Honestly, same here. 1d
PuddleJumper @Faranae Good Lord! 😂 1d
LiteraryinPA Does this one go by a different name, I wonder? I haven‘t heard of it before. Hopefully that means I‘ve found a new one to read! She‘s one of my favorite authors. 1d
CSeydel @LiteraryinPA I was wondering that, too. 1d
PuddleJumper @LiteraryinPA @CSeydel It's a collection of short stories. It might be a new collection as there's also a winter one 1d

Tomorrow Sucks | Greg Cox, T.K.F. Weisskopf

A collection of vampire themed science fiction stories, written from the 1930‘s to the 1980‘s. I didn‘t remember I had this book on my shelf but I‘m reading my physical TBR and this book came up. It was a nice surprise with some pretty good stories. There were stories by Ray Bradbury and Roger Zelazny, two of my favorite authors from my childhood. Really there wasn‘t a bad story in the bunch.

I just stumbled across the tagged story collection while at the library. What great blurbs! Have you read this @barbarabb Seems up your alley, I think that it might appeal to you too @sarahbarnes

sarahbarnes I‘ve had my eye on this one! 1d
Billypar Nice blurb sequencing also where the second blurb references the author of the first one. If Kawakami wrote "It's like Keret meets Machado", that would be too suspicious ? 1d
vivastory @Billypar Lolol, very true. I've read about 50 pages and so far I'm reminded of a cross between Keret and Oyamada (edited) 1d
BarbaraBB Wow, thanks! Totally my kind of book and I love the blurbs. Stacking! 💕 1d
