This was kind of a pointless book with mostly disable characters.

Good book. Fast and enjoyable. I learned a lot.

The Guide: A novel | Peter Heller

Pickpick

This is a sequel to The River although I feel like it works as a stand alone as well. Overall I enjoyed it but will admit the build up was paced nicely but the ending felt rushed. I don‘t care for it as much as I did The River but I still found it immensely enjoyable.

The material itself is interesting but it‘s presented in a way that makes it difficult to follow in a chronological order. I still enjoyed it and learned a great deal.

Brutal book that takes place on Halloween night. Lots of fun! Definitely recommend for a spooky read.

Incredibly good, sad, and real. Just a book about not much that gripped me.

This was an interesting book because it wasn‘t very long but it took me a while get through because I was hanging on every word. I admittedly didn‘t know much about this book prior to reading it so I was unprepared for the emotional rollercoaster I was about to embark on. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Curious Tides | Pascale Lacelle

Awful. Mostly nonsensical. Great idea but horrible execution. I read 150+ books a year and this is bottom 5 of all time for me. Our book club of 8 people (very different people btw) hated this book unanimously.

I was absolutely captivated from page one. Eels are strange creatures that we know surprisingly little about. I had no idea how mysterious they actually were

I enjoyed this book and learned quite a bit. The writing is okay but nothing too remarkable. If you‘re curious about the history of fast food establishments or if you want an easy non-fiction book I‘d recommend checking it out.

It was graphic and gory and weird and original and I was hooked but I‘ll admit it‘s not for everyone.

I like Sanderson but I can‘t say I loved this one. It got boring and a bit tedious at times. I felt like the plot didn‘t really move forward for 200 pages.

Stolen Tongues | Felix Blackwell

I‘m a BIG horror fan and consume horror media in many different formats. It takes a lot to creep me out or unsettle me. But this book here… From the opening page you could just tell something was off and Blackwell never takes his foot off the gas. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was my second time reading this book and I love it even more now. Don‘t expect to understand everything, just expect to be creeped out. Darnielle takes a less is more approach here and I love it!

This is another one of those Amazon First Reads books I got years ago but am now finally reading it. I‘m 12% into but I‘m loving the historical 1930s traveling carnival vibe.

Because I‘m a literary glutton who reads 3-4 books at a time, I also started this. It‘s been on my shelf for around 2 years now and it‘s just time I read it.

Our book club read this and I was the only out of 9 who enjoyed it. I found it fast paced, engaging, and full of remarkable characters. It took me about three days to read it but everyone said it was boring and slow.

This was excellent and a great starting point for HALO newbies. Even though it‘s an IP based book, the sci-fi is really well written. I enjoyed it!

NFL playoff football and a Dragonlance novel to end my day. Went to the local medieval Faire today and was itching to crack this book open.
