pickFor much of the story, you have no idea about the why. Which I think adds to the suspense. This felt a lot like being on a rollercoaster blindfolded. The fear of not knowing what might happen next is delicious. And it really unfolds brilliantly. It covered so many themes I wasn't expecting! Which gave it great depth. Even at the end, it just kept giving me more things to ponder. I would love to know some specific backstory. I really enjoyed this.
For day 14 of the #hauntedshelf book cover hunt we've got one of my very favourite grey books I've read recently! And it's a spooky one too.

panIt‘s not for everyone. The choice of storytelling. The character voice or the non-linear as linear. It‘s the issues faced by teens, but the distractions in this book as asides made it hard for me to understand…anything. Some may like it. I just didn‘t vibe with it. Gave up 3/4 way through.
pickWow. This was not at all what I expected. At all. I follow the author on social media because he‘s hilarious and witty so I wasn‘t expecting this fantasy/horror hybrid gem of a book. This was free with my Audible account and read by the author so I tried it out. There‘s not much I can say that isn‘t spoilery, so I‘ll just say if unique horror that makes you stop and say “wait. . . What?!?!?” is your jam maybe give it a go.
pickHave you ever lived in a quirky desert city full of odd and eccentric beings, invisible food, back-alley fights between scientists, and a cult that worships a diety that will eat you (and potentially the rest of the city) whole? Yea, me neither! But after reading a book about such a place, I would be down to at least visit. Such a fun read, very funny, weird and wonderful. It‘s another hit from the Night Vale realm and I suggest you read it.
Some times Libro.fm comes through with great audiobooks I didn‘t expect. This BBC dramatization of Algernon Black ghost stories is the best find for the fall months. I am keeping it in reserve for Halloween but the first story in the book was just great so I think I am going to love the rest

pickThis series about Tara who is stuck in 18 November is some of the best books I‘ve read in at long time. #danishbooks
