From what little I know about fairies, they are known to be mischievous little buggers.
It's the same with me. Horror books don't really scare me and until I learned about Aphantasia I always wondered why people said books scared them. I didn't understand how a book could scare someone...it's just words. Now I understand that I have Aphantasia and that's probably why they don't scare me, but I still love horror books. All that visualizing sounds like a nightmare to me as well. I've heard many people without Aphantasia though that think not being able to visualize is sad. I love having Aphantasia, it's just another way to process things and it takes all kinds to make the world. Different people are just used to different things.
Hope your next read is better
I haven't seen that movie either. I have aphantasia as well. I really loved the mermaids and the casual diversity in the book. I didn't really care for the ending either though but loved the rest of the book.
Sending prayers and/or good vibes to Gaza. I don't really know what's going on over there, but I was asked to pray here for the country Gaza because it is under Israeli bombardment and a number of people have fallen children and women, and I googled it. I know not everyone believes in prayer, but I think whatever you do would help.

I wasn't able to read nearly as much as I was hoping this month, but I did just read Night of the Living Dummy by R.L. Stine. Living evil dummy dolls, I think that counts for tiny terror.
I've made a "creatures in the forest" shelf Here that i'm adding to as people mention more books. I mostly have bigfoot related books on there so far though.I already know what I want to read though. Warning, it's weird (and has plenty of content warnings from what I see). Bigfoot Crank Stomp
The Theme for June is "Creatures in the Woods"! Due to February doing ok, with people picking their own book for that month's theme (and then discussing how it's going with our individual books here), we've decided to go ahead and do that every few months.
So we're doing it again for June! Pick any book you like involving creature(s) in the woods come June and feel free to discuss them here.
So what books do you know of that involve creatures in the woods? What one(s) are you considering reading for June?

Copy/pasted from the wiki
"This is a list of cryptids, which are animals presumed by followers of the cryptozoology pseudoscientific subculture to exist on the basis of anecdotal or other evidence considered insufficient by mainstream science. While biologists regularly identify new species following established scientific methodology, cryptozoologists focus on entities mentioned in the folklore record and rumour. Entities that may be considered cryptids by cryptozoologists include Bigfoot, the chupacabra, or Mokele-mbembe. Related pseudosciences include Young Earth creationism,[1][2] ghost hunting, and ufology. Some dictionaries and encyclopedias define the term "cryptid" as an animal whose existence is unsubstantiated."
Welcome to the group Sarah! Hope you have fun here, and with the readathon!Which reminds me I forgot to add that I read Needful Things by Stephen King and crossed off the B-movie square.
On page 610 (view spoiler)Mr. Gaunt's seeds of chaos have been sown and are wrecking havoc with Castle Rock.
Latasha wrote: "done! 4 stars! it was really good!"Glad you enjoyed it! I am very much enjoying it too, though i'm on page 464. My copy has 798 pages so i'm getting there lol.
My favorite creatures I think are vampires (whether they are scary, sexy, or preferably both lol) and mermaids. I need to read more books with vampires and mermaids. I plan on re-reading the first 3 books in The Vampire Chronicles series and continuing with that at some point, and I have a bunch of other vampire books I need to get to as well. Guilty Pleasures (Anita Blake), Dark Lover by J.R. Ward...I have both of them but I haven't read them yet!
I hope to go mermaid crazy come Merfolk May!
I also am learning I enjoy shifter books too.
I know I love Aliens but don't read enough of those either.
Those are my personal favorite creatures, but I can enjoy any and all creatures. What are your personal favorites?

I'm on page 401, halfway through!
I have finished They Rise by Hunter Shea, which it looks like I can count for "The Depths Below" "Ancient Evil" "We did it to ourselves" (global warming caused it all) "Giants" (they get very large!) and "Pick your poison" (they be venomous)1 book, 5 prompts completed, and I loved it! :D

That sucks Latasha! Are you able to get the rest of it? I don't know how overdrive works.I'm on page 201. Really enjoying it. Tricks have begun.
