Every Dead Thing - John Connolly
well! you know me, i love to over do it! so i put this book on reserve at the library. i hope they get to it faster than they have the invited (eye roll).
I wanted to see if my library had it but I will never have time I don’t reckon 😕
I just checked, 12 weeks hold at my tiny library so there is that

Don't stress if you can't get this until next week from the library. We're reading this SLOW. We've got other reads going on at the same time.

I would loved to have FINALLY joined y’all but I’m not going to bother with 12 weeks. Although, they have been giving me options to jump the line sometimes if I will read it in 7 days. That’s too stressful 😳

That is so strange 🤣😂. Our library used Libby now but I think you can still use Overdrive but it’s the same 🙄

Yeah, that does sound stressful trying to read something in 7 days. 🤣😂
We’ll eventually get a BR in Mel! Fingers crossed!

Yeah, I hope it’s faster then your hold on The Invited! 🤣
Fingers crossed! 🤞🏻 I did put it on hold just to see
Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ wrote: "Fingers crossed! 🤞🏻 I did put it on hold just to see"Great!!
Yeah I don’t think I’ll get that in before the end of July.

The first book throws a lot at you but stay with it. Each book in the series gets better and you'll feel like the characters are people you really know.

So great to hear WendyB! Terry and I have been wanting to read this series for years and I’m so glad it gets better with each book. Woot woot!
I was just looking at how many books there are in the series an saw they were all except two rated above 4 stars. Lots to look forward to!

It’s on my list so I’ll see if the library has it

I bought a used paperback version of this book at a used book store a few years ago. I just opened it up to start tonight and found that it's actually a copy signed by the author, which I didn't see before. It's already off to a good start and I haven't read a word of it yet!

I’m finally glad we’re reading this.

All except The Woman in the Woods. Love this series.
Alan wrote: "All except The Woman in the Woods. Love thi..."Wow! Fantastic Alan. I’m so glad you’ve liked this series. We got 15 books to catch up to you. 😝🤣
Got to the beginning of Ch 4 today. I'm enjoying the book so far and this "Travelin' Man" sounds super evil and terrible.
I actually got the book today! Starting it now.
my cover looks like this. so i'm guessing this book is about a guy skinning Sasquatch with a little knife and it hurt very badly.
Latasha wrote: " my cover looks like this. so i'm guessing this book is about a guy skinning Sasquatch with a little knife and it hurt very badly."That’s it! You’ve solved the plot already. 🤣😂
That’s awesome to hear about the book Latasha. I’m glad you got this one sooner then The Invited! 😉
Yeah 😔 I think they forgot about me on that one.

I’ve made it up to ch10. Definitely a slow burn so far as we meet all of these characters and get the back story. But I’m enjoying so far.
Well, I’m going to take my hold off at the library. If y’all are that far in I’m not gonna wait the 12 weeks for the library 😳
Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ wrote: "Well, I’m going to take my hold off at the library. If y’all are that far in I’m not gonna wait the 12 weeks for the library 😳"It’s only about 80 pages in where I’m at, but I totally understand Melissa. That stinks it would take that long to get it!

It’s that way a lot at my small library. I wish there was a bigger one I could pay to be a member somewhere out there

It's definitely a slow burn!! I'm trying to get all the characters down (especially the mob connections) and I think that's what a few people have said. Just stick with it and the next book is so much better since you'll have the backstory.
We just did a slow burn so I don't mind! :D
I really love the character of Charlie Parker though. He's really a no nonsense type of ex-cop and I like that.
I also like the writing!!

It’s all good, I’m used to it in this group. Although, I did find some with Tosh 😃
I had to work over last night. I’m only page 24? Something like that.
Latasha wrote: "I had to work over last night. I’m only page 24? Something like that."That's fine, I've got other books to read. I'll wait for you to catch up. :D
i read up to chapter 7 last night. there is a lot of names and a lot to keep straight right now. i really like the overall feel (atmosphere?) of the book. i just hope things come together soon.
