Sweet, have to finish The Outsider then on to junior’s book! Pumped!
Mod
I just started The Outsider yesterday and it is soooo good.
I hope you'll like NOS4A2 as much as I did. It's perfect for this time of year.
WendyB, I don’t know how to quote someone, lol!! LOVING the Outsider, soooo confused right now though. Heard nothing but good things about Nos4atu and I loved Heart Shapes Box so cant wait!
Awesome! I recently finished NOS4A2, so perfect timing.:) I look forward to the discussion.
I loved The Outsider and NOS4R2. Looking forward to talking here about it
I'll be joining this one as well. I already have the book.
read it and loved it, my fav book 2017
Excellent. I was able to get this in audio and the audio selection as a hardback from my library. :) Yay! Backwards, but the price is fabulous.
Awesome!! Need a reread of this!

I've got it sitting on my nightstand. Hooray!
I was thinking about re reading this too.
This is going to be awesome; there are so many of us!
Thanks for providing me the push to finally pull this off my shelf and read it. As soon as I locate it, it's going to the top of the to-read stack.
I hope you don’t mind I got the audio version. It is narrated by the great Kate Mulgrew. She ya an amazing narrator!

That's awesome!! I haven't read it in awhile but it's one book that hasn't left my memory 😊

Gah! Yes! And with my forgetfulness, I need all the help I can get 😂
Yey! Found a copy in my local library! Looking forward to reading it

Ok, starting the prologue, let’s get it going good people!
Yes, let's get a good discussion going.:) I'm eager!
I started it yesterday and am on 60 hope i can keep the rhythm. The prologue definitely pushes you.
I am looking forward to rereading this. It is one of my top favorite books of all time
Hoping to start my reread tomorrow!! Love this book 😄

Thanks! Yes I do love group reads!
So far, it’s compelling. 110 pages in. A lot of moving parts but it has one of the creepiest settings/scenes I have read in a very long time. Frighteningly frozen! The characters are all incredibly interesting and I think Maggie will be a favorite. I don’t think that was spoilerish?
Yes!! Bob, I totally agree!
I really enjoyed this. The concept was pursued down to small details instead of being brushed with broad strokes. Neither the story line nor character choices were neat and convenient. I cringed, squirmed and May have bargained with the author and characters to not go down certain paths. Exceeded my expectations.

You are so welcome. Agreed: buddy reads are the best!

Hello, my first post, i'm new here, and happen to be half way through. Reminds me of Clive Barker a bit (The Great and Secret Show, but not the plot). How he weaves an undercurrent of strangeness just under the surface of normality. That has always appealed to me. Hey-ho, happy reading!
A big welcome to ya, Daniel!😊I'm pretty sure that Barker was an influence on Joe Hill. Happy reading!
Well, that's possibly the creepiest prologue I've ever read! Never read anything by Joe Hill but you can definitely see his dad's love of horror rubbed off on him ;)
I find Joe Hill better. This book is really creepy
I’ve got about 120 pages left and this is easily one of my top 7 favorite books of all time. (Better than top 10, not enuff for the top 5) but it’s not over yet. Chuck Manx is easily one of the most hated/likeable characters I’ve come across. Likeable is maybe not the right word but I think you’ll get what I mean. Just awesome up to this point.

Are they making this into a show? That could be amazing! I'm only a few chapters in but already its so creepy!
Not sure if I would want to go to Christmas Land?!
