Bad Apples
Mod
Yeah, what Latasha said! :)I would love to join in, but I won't be able to until probably the end of the first week of October.
I would love to join in on this eventually. Let me know when you have read quite a bit into this though so I can start chatting about it. This was such a twisted book and I had a great time reading it.
Since all of the authors hang out around here, I'm hoping maybe one or more of them will pop in when we finish it. :)
If not we can always curse them with the "May all your candy taste like candy corn!" curse and or "May all the holiday shows on Halloween be Christmas specials!" Better yet curse them with the ghost sheet costume that only gets them rocks when they go trick or treating :o)
I'd like to get in this.

Mix candy corn with salted peanuts and it tastes just like a PayDay candy bar - nice blend of sweet and salty. We go through bags of it every year doing that...

Another fun and tasty treat are those gummy eyeballs they sell in the bulk foods section of the store in town here...so tasty and they gross my wife out :o)
Robert wrote: "Mix candy corn with salted peanuts and it tastes just like a PayDay candy bar - nice blend of sweet and salty.

My wife picked up a bag of those new Cheetos that have pieces shaped like skeleton parts...yummy :o)

I am going to track some down this weekend!
I always get a big smile on my face at work, when I see a box come in off the truck labeled...missing body parts :o)

lol, we got some of that too. it IS good!
my wife found a really cool idea for making some really slimy worms out of Jello and plastic straws. And you know what they say...There's always room for Jello
Have you noticed how far from Bad Apples we've come? But hey speaking of apples, I saw an idea for apple nachos online. It's a place of sliced apples spread out with caramel & chocolate syrup drizzled on top with some mini chocolate chips sprinkled on top too

I'm fine with starting the first week of Oct.
I may have to "sit" in too and join some of the conversation.
I am so excited Bad Apples won! I plan to haunt the thread as much as possible during this group read. I can't wait to see what everyone thinks of it.
Charlene wrote: "Since all of the authors hang out around here, I'm hoping maybe one or more of them will pop in when we finish it. :)"Thanks, Charlene! I'm sure that can be arranged. And this should go without saying, but I'll say it anyway. Please discuss this book openly and critically. Everyone who contributed to this anthology appreciates and respects readers and their opinions.

Oh. My mistake. Still, its cool to see this as a buddy read anyway. I read The Troop a couple weeks ago. It was quite good.
Hey Folks. I'm in too if I can have a week or so before we get started.
Robert wrote: "Mix candy corn with salted peanuts and it tastes just like a PayDay candy bar - nice blend of sweet and salty. We go through bags of it every year doing that..."Love this stuff. Very tasty, like a salted nut roll.
I am in the Halloween mood already!
Hey, Mark! Great to see you here. :)It's nice to see you guys too, Gregor and Adam.
I was hoping to start somewhere around the 6th?
I'm in as well, and can start whenever - week of the 6th works for me.
Charlene wrote: "I was hoping to start somewhere around the 6th?"You too, Charlene!
The 6th looks like a great time to start!
Mod
This should be a great time! I'm looking forward to it. :)
Hi All,I just became aware of this thread. Hope you enjoy the book, but like Gregor said, open and honest criticism is highly valued.
I'll pop back in once you get started. I really enjoyed the stories by the other authors in the book, so I'm looking forward to jumping into the discussion as a fan of my co-authors.
Hi, Evans! :)It looks like we're going to have a good group for this buddy read. That always bodes well for a good discussion. I'm really looking forward to this.

As am I.
