What Have You Read - 2019

[Char]

I ended up having to DNF Full Throttle . I can't seem to put my finger on why, but it was just a slog for me-up to 40%. I feel like I gave it enough time.
Perhaps I will come back to it at some point in the future.

I finished listening to and it was just excellent-lots of action and different types of enemies and a main villain who had many different levels to her psyche. I almost started to feel bad for her. The only problem I had was listening to the last hour or so while driving. Anyone who saw me must've thought something terrible had happened, because tears were streaming down my face. This series has quickly climbed my list of favorite books series' ever and is now solidly in my top 5.

I’ve only dipped into this one thus far. I didn’t care much for “Throttle”, but liked “Wolverton Station” and really liked “You Are Released”.

Thanks, Char. I see you're reading the new Matthew Corbett, how's it going so far?

My first book by Wright. It was good, and will definitely be reading more by him. 3/5"

Not long ago I read my first T.M. Wright book called Strange Seed. I wasn't expected much and it blew me away! (It's why I try to avoid getting my hopes up, so I hope I don't do it to others. But check it out if you have time...you may be happily surprised like I was!)

Just finished 5*, 5* and 5*

I loved this one too, David! It was the best one I had read from him in a long time! :)

[Padders]

finished with,,,



unfortunately was a little underwhelmed, was getting confused with the characters (but I have taken a break from reading since having the little one so maybe I am just a little rusty)

Didn't really get going while the end for me but by then was a little too late to redeem or come back!

I was one of the few who didn't care that much for HEX. I thought it was just okay.

[Erin]

Watching You

I liked it, how everything that happened was tied in at the end.

[Monica]

I finished Different season by King and loved it. Some great characters in there and Apt Pupil and The body will definitely stick with me.

[Krystal]

I finished off Alice by Christina Henry on Halloween and it was so much fun! I mean, dark, grisly and brutal, but FUN. Definitely need to read more by this author!

bit of a snoozer, and just not geared towards me I think, can tell my wife picked it out that's for sure haha!

[Wes]

Just finished Cold Moon Over Babylon. McDowell is a master.

Wow, Willie! Well done!

YAY for McDowell!

I finished reading . It was excellent fun! (Just as the cover suggests it would be.)

[Dominik]

Finished reading last weekend. The story was told in a wildly different way than what I had expected. But it was a gripping tale that had me sneaking in just a few more pages each night before sleep.

[Erin]

Before I Fall

A mixed bag on this one.

[David]

The Sound of Building Coffins
I enjoyed it but found it a little surreal in parts.

[Char]

I finished listening to by Ray Clueley. I enjoyed it! (There just aren't enough mermaid tales out there.)

[Padders]

finished off this creepy little tale tonight....



would have been a perfect Halloween story, little fast paced at time but a solid little horror novel, enjoyed it overall.

[Padders]

finished off this odd grisly little book...



lots of folklore, mythology and even some voodoo thrown in, little fast paced but i'll be reading the second one at some point.

[Erin]

The Fifth Season

[Char]

I finished reading Skinwrapper and thought it was an excellent novella.

[Erin]

Run Away

I enjoyed this standalone novel. I will try more by him.

[Christian]

two more done for this year.

The Reckoning by Sarah Pinborough

A solid haunted house novel. Ends like a lot of good and bad horror films do with the epilogue giving me a good chuckle. 3/5


The Bridge by John Skipp & Craig Spector

Wow. This book is a bullet to the face if there ever was one. I totally understand the waves this made when originally released as it has lost none of its visceral power. A bona fide genre classic, as relevant today as it was yesterday. 5/5

[Kate]

Finished 4* 4* 4.5* 4* 4* 4.5*

[Padders]

while it has some grisly deaths, I admit it's not really horror, but I really enjoyed the first in the series of this one..... Even put off reading so I could enjoy the book for a little longer, will definitely be reading the next book soon!

[Monica]

I finished the first in the Vampire Academy series and it was nothing special. I don't know if I'm gonna keep reading the series.
