Welcome to Litsy!

🕷️ 4.5 Stars • In the town of (UNDISCLOSED) the Zombie Apocalypse has begun! From the book: “There exists in this world a spider the size of a dinner plate, a foot wide if you include the legs. It‘s called the Goliath Bird-Eating Spider, or the “Goliath ғȗċҡıṅɢ Bird-Eating Spider” by those who have actually seen one. It doesn‘t eat only birds—it mostly eats rats and insects...”

You know the book is actually written by David Wong… but the character or one of them is Jason Pargin…. Cool so I finished this and it‘s one of the books that have great characters funny in a disturbing horror kind of way but really it‘s great especially if you like horror and 🕷️

Ok let‘s be real here as I state that I purchased this because.. look at this cover … I mean who could resist so here I go starting this now 📖

⭐⭐⭐/5

Cannot put this book down . Highly recommended for fans of apocalyptic horror . Just a warning this one is a sequeal the first book is called John dies at the end also a fantastic book

Honestly holds up so well as a sequel to John Dies At The End. I love the way the relationship between David and Amy has progressed, and watching the new characters running frantically in and out of the story was so amusing to see

First book to give me nightmares since before puberty! High praise. Creepy, gross, hilarious. Sometimes offensively so. I highly recommend it for anyone who loves horror and enjoys a poop or butthole joke from time to time.

"So you see, fear is just another manifestation of insecurity. What humans want most of all, is to be right. Even if we're being right about our own doom. If we believe there are monsters around the next corner ready to tear us apart, we would literally prefer to be right about the monsters, than to be shown to be wrong in the eyes of others and made to look foolish."

We would call it sir

I imagine if the book is full of spiders, then it also has a #spiderweb or two. I won‘t find out because I hated the first book and so I took all three to my local used bookstore for credit. 😆

If the cover doesn't give you #panic & the title doesn't, try the warning on the back cover: You may have a huge, invisible spider living in your skull. THIS IS NOT A METAPHOR.
I loved this book, as well as John Dies at the End. I have yet to read his two following books, but definitely plan on doing so sooner than later.

1. My nephew Devin couldn't say Aunt Katie, so he called me Aunt Kiki, and now my brother Mike calls me Keeks.
2. Tagged book, but I love all of Wong's weird and wacky book titles.
3. Absolutely! Too much hype can definitely lead to disappointment, but I'd rather a book get lots of attention than none.
4. I like a good cover. It shows that the publisher cares. But it's not everything.

I liked this one much better than the first. The plot is much more streamlined and easy to follow, and the author does horror SO well. I was genuinely terrified reading this (and it doesn‘t help that I read most of it at night). I still have issues with the offensive language, but that‘s just me.

#bookmail The Schwab hardbacks look so pretty together. 😍

The Hubs and I are roadtripping and I'm making him listen to this audiobook because he loved the first one.

“I just realized he was phrasing all of his questions as statements. Wasn‘t there a character in Alice in Wonderland who did that? Did Alice punch him in the #face?”

When your bf takes you to a bookstore and says, "Get whatever you like," you know he's a keeper.

“The grille of the Caddie plunged right into the middle of the bonfire, scattering smoke and flames and bones to the wind. The Cadillac finally bounced and jolted to a stop among a rain of burning human skulls.

The #voice of John Fogerty garbled and died. The driver's door opened and John flung himself out, clutching a sawed-off shotgun. He screamed, 'DID SOMEBODY ORDER SOME FUCKING PRISON BREAK WITH A SIDE OF SHOTGUN?‘”

#QuotsyFeb18

“The zombie looks like a man, walks like a man, eats and otherwise functions fully, yet is devoid of the #spark. It represents the nagging doubt that lays deep in the heart of even the most zealous believer: behind all of your pretty songs and stained glass, this is what you really are. Shambling meat. Our true fear of the zombie was never that its bite would turn us into one of them. Our fear is that we are already zombies.”

#QuotsyFeb18

“...the amount of the universe a human can experience is statistically, like, zero percent.... All we can see is like a blurry little pinhole in a blindfold, and the rest is filled in by our imagination. So whatever we #think of the world, whether you #think the world is cruel or good or cold or hot or wet or dry or big or small, that comes entirely from inside your head and nowhere else.”

Eeeee! Such good choices! Thank you so much!!! #mybloodyvalentineswap @CoffeeCatsBooks

#newautobuyauthors for #febinbooks18
I rarely buy with new authors, I try to get the from the library first but these are my most recent new authors I've loved.
I haven't read the tagged book yet, I got this for Christmas but I loved his others.

And also my recent favourite reads by David Olusoga and Samuel Bjork.

WARNING: DO NOT READ IF YOU‘RE ARACHNOPHOBIC!!!!!!!. Nah just kiddin😅. Another masterpiece in the John and Dave series. We find our “ heroes” caught in in another supernatural shit storm ( pardon my French but it is true lol) pick it up and tune in to find out how they get out of this one.

So far this whole series can be summed up by the above quote. I am enjoying the ride though.

Looking forward to continuing on with this series 🕷💀📖

#FaceYourFears #UncannyOctober
I am never reading this book.
 @RealLifeReading

Look what I pulled out of my mailbox.

Thank you, @LibrarianRyan - I will hang up the sparkly spider, it's much too cool to hide in a book. Will make a great addition to my meagre Halloween decoration. 😉

I know who might want to have the Monster bookmark.

#MonsterMadness2017

PS: Edward Cullen can play instruments, but I think Gerard is the better singer.

#TBRtemptation post 2! This is the sequel to "John Dies At the End". This one is full of Lovecraftian slacker humor and over-the-top jokes and gore. There's spiders in people's heads, metaphorical ones. And there's a zombie outbreak, a real one. Solid ratings from the first installment's fans. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook ?

Don't know if I'll actually read any of these--but this mug is my new favorite thing ever. 🤣☕️

This book in this months Infected and Infested box from The Nocturnal Readers Box. This will be my second David Wong book!

#junetunz day 26 - #crawling

#catchingup with this unfinished sequel (that is to say, I haven't finished it). Think the author has another book dropping this year, though I don't remember for what series.

#Riotgrams Day 21: #AnimalCovers

Seriously,
Dude,
Don't touch it.

@bookriot

Dave and John are back in this sequel to "John Dies at the End". This book is just as good as the first in the series. The weirdness, the monsters, & the apocalypse are all there too. This novel is much more continuous in its progression whereas "John Dies" was alot more sporadic and felt like you were reading episodes that marched you toward the end of the story. Really enjoyed this series so far and cant wait for the next one.

So my stamp is pretty boring 😟. Any suggestions on where to get a good one or any creative ideas how to spruce mine up?

A little #shelfporn this morning. One of the many bookshelves that dot the rooms of our house

Already loving this book and only 50 pages in

One of the books I'm most excited about reading in October!

I LOVE #weirdbooks, and just weird everything, and some of my craziest favorites are the works of David Wong. He's hilarious and revolting and his writing is absolutely enthralling. Not for the faint of heart, though. 😂😂😂 The disembodied hand on the JDatE cover reminded me of my weird behind the scenes photo from Harold and Maude, so I thought Bud Cort deserved to be included too. 🙃 #somethingforsept
