What Have You Read - 2019

I ended up having to DNF Full Throttle Full Throttle by Joe Hill . I can't seem to put my finger on why, but it was just a slog for me-up to 40%. I feel like I gave it enough time.
Perhaps I will come back to it at some point in the future.
I’ve only dipped into this one thus far. I didn’t care much for “Throttle�, but liked “Wolverton Station� and really liked “You Are Released�.




Thanks, Char. I see you're reading the new Matthew Corbett, how's it going so far?

My first book by Wright. It was good, and will definitely be reading more by him. 3/5"
Not long ago I read my first T.M. Wright book called Strange Seed. I wasn't expected much and it blew me away! (It's why I try to avoid getting my hopes up, so I hope I don't do it to others. But check it out if you have time...you may be happily surprised like I was!)

This is great to hear as I have a beautiful signed copy of Strange Seed.


What a story teller he is!"
Read that recently right after The Institute. So good.

I loved this one too, David! It was the best one I had read from him in a long time! :)


unfortunately was a little underwhelmed, was getting confused with the characters (but I have taken a break from reading since having the little one so maybe I am just a little rusty)
Didn't really get going while the end for me but by then was a little too late to redeem or come back!

I was one of the few who didn't care that much for HEX. I thought it was just okay.

I just picked up They Thirst in an Audible sale. I'm super excited to check him out.


brilliant read! Really enjoyed this one, will definitely be reading Mr Janz in the future!

Thanks, good to know. I have it on my TBR list.

Agree....top notch collection

My list is up to 137 for the year. Most recent was a reread of King's 11/22/63 that I loved all over again.


bit of a snoozer, and just not geared towards me I think, can tell my wife picked it out that's for sure haha!

Conjure Wife by Fritz Leiber 4/5
Aurealis #87 3/5
Aurealis #88 3/5"
I enjoyed Conjure Wife as well. That gargoyle!

Wow, Willie! Well done!

YAY for McDowell!
I finished reading







would have been a perfect Halloween story, little fast paced at time but a solid little horror novel, enjoyed it overall.


lots of folklore, mythology and even some voodoo thrown in, little fast paced but i'll be reading the second one at some point.

The Reckoning by Sarah Pinborough
A solid haunted house novel. Ends like a lot of good and bad horror films do with the epilogue giving me a good chuckle. 3/5
The Bridge by John Skipp & Craig Spector
Wow. This book is a bullet to the face if there ever was one. I totally understand the waves this made when originally released as it has lost none of its visceral power. A bona fide genre classic, as relevant today as it was yesterday. 5/5
