The mixture of horror and humor is fun.
Another Kootz book I really loved is called (I think) One Door from Heaven. Or One Door Away from Heaven. Something like that. It's not an Odd Thomas book but it's uplifting.
I just finished "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo". Great, great book. Reading "Miracle Creek" right now.
I just finished "In Love with the World: A Monk's Journey Through the Bardos of Living and Dying" a great book. Now I am going to re read "The Talisman" book. Then the "Black House"
Today I finished Kings of the Wyld, a wonderful adventure, Now I'm reading Altered Carbon. The beginning is good, I hope the next chapters will be at the same level.

Good so far! I am almost finished. I think I did figure out “who done it” but it isn’t disappointing to figure it out. If that makes sense. I have 25% left, things could change. LOL.

I always like a good book with a twist.

It was good. One of the better crime thriller suspense books I have read in a while. Lately they have been lackluster. This one is worth reading.

Glad to hear it.
The Night Sister
Okay I think I'm going a little overboard at the present moment.I'm listening to 3 audiobooks...
One Door Away from Heaven
Moby-Dick, or, the Whale
The Medieval World
And I'm reading two physical books...
The Talisman
When French Women Cook: A Gastronomic Memoir
Just finished reading Tai-Pan by James Clavell. It was absolutely phenomenal, would totally recommend it to anyone who enjoys long, in-depth novels. Similarly, I would also recommend James Clavell's best known book, Shogun.
Just finished reading Snuff by Chuck Palahniuk. It was filthy and hilarious. Not for everyone. Also recently finished Recursion by Blake Crouch and was blown away.
Nancy wrote: "Gavin wrote: "Started The Three-Body Problem"I have that but haven’t read it yet. How is it?"Actually amazing. I was just looking for some good hard sci-fi when I bought this book, but it's so much more than that, though there's still plenty of technical, and mostly accurate (some liberties for the sci fi stuff, of course), scientific jargon. Aside from that, it somehow it has time to discuss Maoist China and philosophize about humanity.

Awesome!
Reading Ravenous by Ray Garton. I'd been slogging through some fantasy and sci-fi that was boring me to tears, then I picked this horror-fest, and got my mojo back.
I also just completed Afraid. Blood and gore from the beginning.
I just started NOS4A2 by Joe Hill.
I couldn’t finish SPQR. It is too political for me.

NOS4A2 is outstanding and phenomenally written. I felt empathy for all the characters; even Charlie Manx in away. So enjoy 😁
Just finished The Return of King Lillian which is a really great fantasy along the lines of The Eyes of The Dragon, and for those reading the King book, I suggest you take a look at Lillian too. Anyway, my review is up: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...Meanwhile, I just started American Psycho (talk about different) and I'm really enjoying it.
I just finished The Dark Half(Loved it!) and now I'm reading The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown & War Girls by Tochi Onyebuchi.
