I flew through this book; it was a bittersweet conclusion to Sugar Lacey‘s story. I loved the characters were all connected from the start and the growth of Sugar was awesome to see. 100% a pick!

I loved the idea of the hotel, but I was expecting more time travel. This story focuses more on action and mystery. I still recommend this book, and will read more from the author.

Radiance: A Novel | Catherynne M. Valente
Mehso-so

This book was a struggle, so close to DNF. One chapter would totally excite and captivate me, and then the storyline would switch topics, discarding what interested me.

It‘s a fun mix of sci-fi and old Hollywood but by the end I was just straight up confused 🤣

Reggie @NikkiM5 I Have!!!! I read it last Oct-Nov and those kids were crazy but I felt bad for them because in the middle of it all there are what seems to be 2 serial killers among them! What! Lol 6mo

Fun and scary! I admit I am easily scared 🙃 so take that into consideration.

I would describe it as a horror mystery ghost story with a new twist. I figured a couple of things out early on, but not everything, so that kept me interested.

The Shirley Jackson inspo vibes are high. 👍🏾

Just After Sunset | Stephen King
Pickpick

Yay, finished Just After Sunset, missed the #losersclub date by quite a bit 🤣. I‘m not a big short story fan, but this is The King, so I enjoyed it. My absolute favorite was N. It was wonderfully, stressful because I could see myself easily slipping down that rabbit hole. In the author‘s note he mentioned “The Great God Pan” as inspo. This is a book I recently heard about but decided not to add to my TBR. Of course now I have to read it.

5feet.of.fury I had read that with #losersclub and totally forgot about N being inspired by The Great God Pan, which I have also not read, but read a reimagining of 7mo
Reggie Is N the one about the ocd people trying to keep out inter dimensional monsters with their repetitive rituals? Cause I loved that one. 7mo
NikkiM5 @Reggie yup, that‘s N. I still think about it 🤣 7mo
NikkiM5 @5feet.of.fury oh wow These Fleeting Shadows sound really good. And it would cover my book about inheritance for the 52 Book Club. Thank you! 7mo

What a storyteller, Rage (1977 my birth year 🎊) is classic King and I did not want to put this book down. But I had to often, because no one wants this crap in their head right before bed, especially if you‘re a vivid dreamer like me. Next up is Night Shift (1978)

So I assume this is an unpopular opinion, but I was not a fan of the tagged.

The book started off great but I felt it dragged on and then on some more.

I did finish it, but I will not continue the series.

March‘s #nywd22 is “The Only Good Indians” thanks @Readergrrl

wordslinger42 I bailed on this one. It's definitely an unpopular opinion, but you're not alone! 2y
Readergrrl @NikkiM5 I hope you like The Only Good Indians! It really stuck with me. Horror mixed with indigenous folklore and storytelling. I went to an author talk at the Mark Twain House here in CT and met the author, Stephen Graham Jones. His discussion of his writing inspiration and history was fascinating. Very cool! 2y

#bookspinbingo After reading a Sandman Volume, I was curious about an actual photo used in the comic. I found out from a friend it was the tagged author. I wanted to read his work after reading and hearing descriptions of the author. Chesterton is quoted often and had a dedication from Gaiman & Pratchett:

The authors would like to join the demon Crowley in dedicating this book to the memory of G.K. Chesterton, a man who knew what was going on

Readergrrl I read Sing, Unburied, Sing at the height of the protests in Minnesota after George Floyd‘s murder. The thoughts of the ghosts (theoretical or not) we encounter every day haunted me while I watched the news those weeks. Tonight I listen to the reports of the trial of the three remaining men involved and I can‘t help but think that the wheels of justice are tortuously slow. 2y

Excellent book on how the mind works. If you enjoy self-help books on behavior and decision-making. Or if you‘re curious why others (and myself 😅) act ridiculous at times, I highly suggest the tagged. The Chimp Paradox is a lesson on why we act/react in certain ways, and why we don‘t have to.

“Managing your impulsive, emotional Chimp as an adult will be one of the biggest factors determining how successful you are in life.”
