The Root Witch | Debra Castaneda
post image

This book gets mixed reviews. I personally loved it! It‘s a slow burn folk horror story that takes place in a remote forest in Utah. There‘s a lot of technical detail about producing tv news in the 1980s that might bore some people but it was a fun story! I am looking forward to reading more by this author. Thank you @Marmie7 for including this in my #HHS package 🖤

Marmie7 I really enjoyed it too! I'm glad you liked it💜 4mo

BookNAround I‘m sure I‘ll love it. And it‘ll still be secret, of a sort, because I won‘t know what‘s in it until opening day. (edited) 5mo

Tip of the hat to Carissa Orlando. I thought I had all the twists figured out but she twisted the twist! This one is a joy ride (if you like haunted houses and a little bit of gore). Great read for spooky season. 🖤

I almost forgot to come back from my lunch break because I got so into the end of this book. I may have finally broken through my reading slump. I only read about 6 books January through June but I‘ve read 4 in the last 6 weeks, including the uncut version of The Stand. It feels good to be excited about reading again 🙂❤️ 📚

TripleS I read the uncut version of the Stand last summer! And I‘m currently reading the only one left!! 7mo
DeeLew @TripleS how did you like The Stand? I LOVED it! I also reread Pet Sematary last week. Let me know what you think of all the twists in The Only One Left 🙂 7mo
TripleS I LOVED the stand also!! And I need to read pet Sematary!! I loved The only one left!! I thought I had some guesses but the twists kept coming!!! 7mo
DeeLew @TripleS Pet Sematary is one of my all time favorite horror novels. 🖤 I‘m glad you enjoyed The Only One Left as much as I did. 🙂 7mo

Scary story but the “twist” was obvious from the beginning. I wanted to love it. Maybe it was because I was suffering from a book hangover after reading Fairy Tale. Still, it was a fun quick read.

I‘ve been in a reading slump since the last week of November. I think I have read maybe 3 books since then. This one feels like it‘s going to be a quick read so maybe I‘ll get over the hump soon. How is everyone doing? I haven‘t been very active here lately and I miss the Litsy family. ❤️

ShyBookOwl I had quite a few reading slumps last year. It was frustrating. To pull myself out, I'd usually try listening to an audiobook of an old favourite I'd only done in text. A book I knew I could count on, but a new experience of it. Good luck! 2y
wanderinglynn I too faced several reading slumps last year. I reread some faves and got into romance—a genre I had never really previously read. But I found the characters‘ journeys hopeful and the happily ever afters were what I needed. I also found that audiobooks helped because I could listen to a story while doing something else. 2y
marleed Welcome back! I change genres and reading formats (audio, print, ebook) often and that really helps me. 2y

I preordered this novella mostly based on the cover art. It was incredibly hyped on social media and it ended up falling short of most people‘s expectations. I personally did enjoy it but wish it would have been a full length novel. This almost felt like a rough draft or outline of a fantastic novel.

Did anyone take advantage of the buy 2 get 1 free sale at Target last week? I bought Night Shift, The Rust Maidens, and December Park. Then ordered one book from amazon.

My Heart Is a Chainsaw | Stephen Graham Jones
post image

Last year when everyone was raving about The Only Good Indians, I felt terrible because I could not get through it. I just couldn‘t connect to the story and the writing style. Then I read the premise for My Heart is a Chainsaw and I thought this would be better. Well, about 100 pages in I thought I was going to DNF this one as well. I decided to stick it out and I‘m glad I did because this was magnificent. Going to pick up Only Good Indians again

ReadingEnvy This author writes in so many subgenres, you just have to try them until one works. ;) 2y

This book. Wow. It is a gritty crime novel with extreme violence and a dark story line. My heart was racing and I couldn‘t turn the pages fast enough. At the same time, I wasn‘t sure if I could finish it, but I am so glad I did. What an incredible story.

The first true crime book I ever read was Helter Skelter. I read it in high school and I was both horrified and fascinated. I remember thinking that Vincent Bugliosi, the prosecuting attorney, was a hero. The case he laid out about the crazy motive seemed so far fetched it‘s hard to believe he got the convictions. This newer book, researched over twenty years casts some doubts on Bugliosi‘s case. There‘s no doubt of Manson‘s guilt but... wow!
