NaNoWriMo is (finally) officially over!
Today, I validated DESTINY:
Like last year, there was no actual word count validation necessary. BUT, ven after I reached 50k and finished my WIP, there was no clear way to acess my WINNER badges. I had to mess around with the notifications, which fellow writer Crystal-Rain Love told me about, before finding where I could downloaded my certificate, etc.
Yay, I suppose.

THE BALLAD OF BLACK TOM by Victor LaValle
The Ballad of Black Tom by Victor LaValleMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a novella I've had my eye on for a while because that cover is great. And today was the day I finally picked it up.
Charles Thomas Tester is a bit of a hustler and not much of a singer, though he carries a guitar case with him. He lives with his sick father in Harlem but often finds himself in other places across New York.
The day he delivers a strange book to a strange woman in Queens, Tom's life is never the same...
Okay, t...

HALLOWEEN: The Official Movie Novelization by John Passarella
Halloween: The Official Movie Novelization by John PassarellaMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
We watched this movie when it came out in 2018. Also bought the paperback and Kindle versions shortly after, but I didn't want to read it until I got a bit of distance.
Fast forward to Halloween season 2020. The world is a very different place and a few years have passed since Michael returned to the big screen. So, here we are.
We all know the story. In 1978, Michael Myers stalked and tormented Laurie Strode, kil...

THE TRENCH by Steve Alten
The Trench by Steve AltenMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed Meg, so when we found an old library copy of the second book in a nearby Street Library, of course we grabbed it.
And I was excited, even though the book smelled like fucking cigarette smoke and needed WEEKS of scented-candle-in-bag treatment before I could even consider reading it. Actually, even after picking it up I thought I might not be able to concentrate on the story because of the shitty condition... BUT! The story is SO g...
