Taylor (taedur) | 96 comments I got my hands on an eARC of My Heart Is a Chainsaw and I'm just now getting around to reading it. Absolutely fantastic, so far. I love SGJ's writing.

Cheers from another person with a December birthday! :) I’m actually thinking about reading It that month, sounds like it will be a great reading month for the both of us :)

LTJ (ltj81) | 2000 comments Wow, no way! Are you also a fellow Capricorn? LoL yeah, I have too many books to go through and I also have to read that King Trilogy, the one with Mr. Mercedes. I'm thinking of leaving that for the new year :-D

December is going to rock!

One of my favorites

Looking forward to your thoughts on this one, I am hoping I can get to it this month as well.

I was supposed to be a Capricorn, but decided to make my appearance early as a Sagittarius :)

So glad you enjoyed it too, Erin! It’s getting more and more amazing with every page. His characters are incredible.

LTJ (ltj81) | 2000 comments LoL will definitely share my thoughts/review when I finish it and so far... WOW! I'm really enjoying it. Ah, very cool, Sagittarius is also an awesome sign so no worries there, fellow Decemberite :-)

That's quite a series! I read them back in the day and had all the paperbacks. I don't know what ever happened to those.

One of King's top three (of those that I have read.) books. Just an involving (to say the least) and astounding read! Glad you're enjoying it.... I've always thought that reading The Stand at "break-neck" speed is not always the best approach. This book needs to be savored!


message 818: by Robert (new)

Robert Kratky (bolorkay) | 342 comments Just finished the final graphic novel volume (# 32) of Kirkman's "The Walking Dead" and the "tag end" Negan book that puts a coda onto the series. What an experience!

It's been great fun thus far! I'm kicking myself for starting the series so late though. It's been pretty hard to find print copies!

message 828: by Jeff (new)

Jeff | 1131 comments Aside from readding Edward Lee's Witch Water, I have started to read from the begining my collection of Doc Savage Paperbacks from Bantam.

since each book is usually no longer than 160pgs, and the usual is around 128 pgs, they are usually a quick read.
Started out with Doc Savage #1 "The Man of Bronze".

That's one of his best, I think.

For myself, I just started, The Women of Weird Tales by Melanie Anderson The Women of Weird Tales, which I may only dip into, but two stories in, it's good.

The Year of Witching is super entertaining. I read it in June, should've saved it for October, but might do a re-read just for Halloween vibes!

message 849: by D.W. (new)

D.W. Hitz (dwhitz) | 61 comments I'm about 40% through Skeleton Crew by Stephen King.

I enjoyed the Mist a lot, as I usually do when I see the movie first and then read the book. The other way around is always a bit frustrating. Enjoyed the Monkey as well.

Krystal (krystallee6363) | 878 comments I've been getting hooked on listening to serial killer podcasts at work so now I've started reading Crimes that Shocked the Nation. Humans really are the true monsters, man.
