Just finished reading -“What Lies Unseen” by S.E. Howard. A horror novel with a surprising sense of heart to it. A tenderness, almost. Hard to describe, but for what’s it’s worth, a book absolutely worth checking out. If you like your horror, with a splash of ghost/ supernatural twist to it.

Just finished reading -“The Raven Scholar” by Antonia Hodgson.The ending left me wanting more. And that’s a good sign, I think. A fresh fantasy, that did not feel too dense or heavy. But at the same time, dark enough to know that there were risks involved and anything could happen. A solid good time

Just finished -“There Is No Antimemetics Division” by and qntm. A book that can not easily be described, but thoughts that keep expanding and evolving, rotating into place like awkward puzzle pieces, that was lost from another time and place. A book that will have your mind twist in all directions.

Just finished reading - The Redemption of Morgan Bright by @scribeofhades.bsky.social. Holy psychological trauma. The length a human mind will stretch and bend, until it breaks into hairline fractures. This was a lot to take in, but oh so worth it. Food for thought and hard to digest, but fulfilling

Just finished-“Seed” by Ania Ahlborn. What can I say. This went darker than I expected. Such a creeping sense of dread. Stuff of nightmares, written down on blood soaked pages. This hooked me from the start and I finished it in three days. Signs of a great read. An easy recommend. If you like horror

“Badlands” by @garykruseauthor.bsky.social. This book made me scream (in my head), out of frustration and just the omg (what the ever loving plot- twist is going on) When it goes dark, it goes dark. I have book 2 waiting for me. But I will have to let it wait for a bit and let this one, sink in.

Just finished -“Coffin Moon” by @keithrosson.bsky.social. What a beautiful, but yet brutal story, that the pain could as well tear you apart. This is the second time, I’m reading a book by this author. And it just gets better. It just gets its hooks in you and reels you in. Brutal. But I loved it.

Not in the right headspace, to do as much of reading as I’d like. Not focused enough and too easily distracted. Too much is happening everywhere, right now. But. Let’s get through the weekend. One day at a time. And hope the coming week is a start, for something good and special.
Me on the stairs. With a smile on my face. Wishing you the world and all the best.

Just finished - White Night by Jim Butcher. This was a much better book in some ways, than the last one. So I guess you can say, that I was pleasantly surprised. I did not have high hopes, when I started it. But never judge a book by a cover. Even nine books in. I’m actually excited for the next one

Just finished reading - “Voices in the Snow” by Darcy Coates. I have a few of her books now. There is something about the mystery / ghosts/ haunting novels, that always draws me back. I love a good haunting, in a big house. This is somewhat that. Almost. But still a good time.

Just finished - Red River Seven by @anthonyryan.bsky.social. Claustrophobic and suspenseful, is what comes to my mind with this book. A lot of the writing makes you hold your breath, without being beware. I will say that the ending, left me wanting something more. But a solid read, absolutely.
