#AutumnPlease

Listened to this weekend for #Scarathlon this short horror story worked well as we wonder how much of it is the MC‘s grief-filled #Delusion

Good creepy vibe & the narration was great. This is the 2nd #CreatureFeature selection from Amazon that I‘ve tried.

Not a huge point getter but 250 for ScarathlonWordSearch + 20 points + 6 for this post/photo challenge participation makes 276 points for Team #SpookyGhostClub & readathons ⬇️

TheSpineView Great job!🤩 6mo
AmandaBlaze I think if you read or listened to it for the photo challenge, you get an additional 15 points. 6mo

Set in a world where the ocean has overtaken most of the land, North is part of a traveling circus that she performs in with her bear and Callanish lives on an island alone where she performs burial rites for those who die on the water. The writing is beautifully descriptive and the world building intriguing but the plot seemed to get increasingly muddled. #creaturefeature #fourfoursin23

And I'm off and racing in the first set of #fourfoursin23 !

Lying Cat sure qualifies as a #creaturefeature in Saga Volume 10 (everybody loves Lying Cat!), and Ship Wrecked is a perfect fit for #romanceexpanse , being a slooooooow burn romance set over many years. #readingchallenge

Imagine being a supernatural of the vampire, witch or demon variety, and having people telling you what to do, always. I can't imagine vampires would want to live forever with this sort of bureaucratic bullshit dominating their lives. I listened to the audiobook. The narrator was adept at the various accents but the weird way she drags out her "twooo"s grates. A book this large would benefit from having a second narrator of the male variety. ⬇️

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick The underlying premise was good, but this was entirely too long. This falls into nearly insta-love territory. Wine, manuscripts, yoga, food...I think the only foods I'm not certain Matthew eats are tacos, pizza, and quince. While I'm on Matthew, I did not get his appeal. He's controlling and I think he thrives on crisis. (1500 years on Earth might do that to you) Diana was boring. I understand why she doesn't embrace her magic, ⬇️ 3y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick but considering how the supernaturals didn't trust the other species, you'd think her aunt would have insisted she learn something. The Bishop house was fun, I liked Hamish, and I am intrigued by the events that are leading to book 2. I haven't decided if I hate myself enough to continue with the series. 😁 3y

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 3y
aperfectmjk I agree about the second narrator. It's such a long book, but I guess because of how the chapters are written it would have been hard to switch up narrators. 3y
DieAReader @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick 👏🏻 I completely agree with your opinion on this one. Took me forever to read it & I disliked more than I liked. That being said, I procrastinated & dreading starting book 2. I was “inspired” to give it some attention yesterday & can say that so far (chapter 11/42) & I‘m enjoying it. There is a lot of character banter that I‘ve really gotten a kick out of. I like it much better than the 1st (as it stands now)😉 3y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @Squidget Good to hear that book 2 seems better from someone with similar feelings about book 1. I think I'll hold off until January and try to limit my listening to 1-2 hours daily so I'm not burnt out by it. This might be a case where I'd enjoy the show more if I gave it a try. 3y

⭐⭐⭐⭐
I loved the idea behind this story. Loved Addie. Loved the writing style. If it hadn't bogged a little bit in the middle - 3/4ths section, it would have been a 5 star read. As it is, it was still a terrific book.

As it‘s 10:30pm here Halloween night, this will be the last full book I get through for #screamathon & #scarathlon. This has been a crazy, wild month. I haven‘t finished so many books in one month before! Let‘s just hope that I‘m as productive in November for NaNoWriMo. 🖋🎃☠️

#teamharkness

11.5hrs for #littenlisten #votedearlyreadathon #creaturefeature and all the others I‘m doing.

Thanks to all the awesome challenge & readthon hosts!

There are 15 stories by 15 different authors in this anthology. I expected at least some of them to feature Sookie, but she was only briefly in one of them. Of the lot, 3 of them were moderately enjoyable. The remaining 12 varied from so-so to pointless filler. A waste of an audible credit. ☹
