December 2014 Group Read: Clickers by J.F. Gonzalez
I'm going to try to participate in this one.
I read the prologue. I'm psyched.
I've been participating in the Clickers series buddy read, so I'll chime in here too.
Glad to have you here, Mallory!
Thanks, Charlene! I'm pleased that Jonathan and Mehmet got the buddy read ongoing, as I had not read any of the series.
I wasn't able to join in on that read, but I am hoping to join in this one in another week or so. :)
Oh good:)

Without spoiling, I can say that I was very pleasantly surprised and delighted with Clickers, much more to the book than I expected.

I'll be here. :)
I bought mine on Kindle at the beginning of November for the buddy read; I'm going to reread it for this group read.
I'm finally going to start this today - my reading time has been severely limited of late due to the general craziness of my life on top of the usual holiday madness. :-)I read it so long ago (I proofed the Darktales paperback) it'll be like reading it for the first time, given my awful long-term memory...
How are you guys doing in here?I was thinking of joining in this read today. If you're not quite going yet, I can read something else and come back here after that?
What say you?

I'm still cruising along at 45%. It is very good. Like reading a Hitchcock film.
All right. I shall begin this evening. :)
Roy is a pleasantly surprisingly well fleshed out villain. I was expecting cardboard characters in a story like this.
I read CLICKERS in November, am going to 're-skim, then read II and beyond, so I'll still be here.:)

I started today, I'm about 20% in. Loving it. Just like one of those old creature features!
I started last night, but couldn't stay awake for very long. I loved the prologue. :)
I got a really good jump on it last night, because I ended up waiting for my daughter much longer than expected. About 100 pages into the hardback. As I expected, I really don't remember much, but I'm loving it so far! I'm glad I decided to read the hardback, because I hadn't noticed before that they included "deleted scenes" at the end, which I'm looking forward to reading.It definitely has a very "B Movie" feel, which according to the foreward is exactly what they were going for. I just hope I can carve out the reading time to keep the momentum going.

Hey, leave her alone! Anyway, she'll be done with the book by tonight. Trust me on this. :)I'm at about 20% and enjoying myself, so far. :)

Good point. She's probably finishing up her review as we speak. I'm still around halfway so I should get motivated.
HA! She probably is! :)

:P You are all lucky I had a migraine this morning, or I probably would have been! ;)

LMAO! Hey, I'm also reading a Jim Moore book, so you can guess what's taking precedence..... ;)

27% I'm liking the story. There's only tidbits of action so far, but I'm enjoying myself. :)

I'm liking it. Great monsters and a comic book store.
At the risk of being hyperbolic, :D, Horrorstör is fantastic!! I read it as an ARC, so didn't get the benefit of the illustrations; wanting to buy a Kindle copy for that reason.
That's cool!The book is going quickly for me. At 40% and still enjoying myself. :)
I meant: 50-60% or so into the book:)
[Evil chuckle] You'll see:)

This is rapidly getting awesome. Chapter 23 was a trip.
I'm done. Wow!More tomorrow. :)
Has anyone had trouble posting in here?
Charlene wrote: "Has anyone had trouble posting in here?"No trouble here.
Glad to hear it! One of our participants has been having issues. I had some issues lately with the app, but not in the last week or so, but I thought I would just double check with you all.
Yeah, so I finished this last night. I have to admit, I was impressed! Spoiler for the end! (view spoiler) I hope everyone likes it as much as I did.
Good stuff. When do we start the sequel?
