Heart-Shaped Box | Joe Hill

Mehso-so

I don‘t know what‘s going on with me these days… but this is another miss for me. It just… definitely wasn‘t for me. I didn‘t really love how it started, how it middled, or how it ended. 🤷‍♀️ There‘s a good piece there… felt like some potential. But… kinda fell flat for me.
⭐️⭐️

Also, that‘s 4 in #tenbeforetheend

ChaoticMissAdventures ✔️✔️way to smash this challenge! It's hard to believe he is Stephen Kings kid huh? I also felt pretty meh about this One 2d
Avanders @ChaoticMissAdventures I know! Now they look a lot alike, but I had no idea for a while. I *loved* his series 2d
KathyWheeler Heart Shaped Box is not my favorite Joe Hill but I‘ve loved his other books and Locke & Key is just wonderful. (edited) 2d
KT1432 Oh noooo!! I have had this on my tbr for a while. I hear his new novel is great. I will probably read that one before I try this one lol. 1d

Walking with Ghosts | Gabriel Byrne

There are only a few stories of his acting career here. This is a book of his early years growing up in Ireland, his time struggling with alcohol, and his horrible self-esteem. It is very well written and evokes a sensory experience of an Ireland of old. #TenBeforetheEnd

Picked the tagged up to (quickly) get my spine tingling award on GR… and it was really just so good. Intense, raw, dark, horrific - nothing new to say about it, but ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me.

Also finished the 13th Child and… man, I just didn‘t love that one. I struggled to get through it and ultimately thought she (author) made some… questionable choices. 🤷‍♀️ Not terrible, but not amazing. ⭐️⭐️💫 or maybe ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Book 9 for my #TenBeforeTheEnd and one I‘ve had on my shelf since it was long listed for the Women‘s Prize years ago. An entertaining tale based on true events in a whaling community in 1908. The main character Mary is funny and the writing had me laughing out loud a few times. Glad I finally read it!

ChaoticMissAdventures ✅ great job!! So close to completing the challenge! 10mo
sarahbarnes @ChaoticMissAdventures Thank you! One more!! 10mo
