[WendyB]

The Group Read #2 has an interesting title - Man, Fuck This House. I hope it's just as interesting to read. ;)

Remember to use spoiler tags. Have a good time reading this!

[Char]

Oooh, I want to read this one. Bought and I'm ready to go!
(I'm so glad it's novella-sized!)

The title really captures the feeling of so many horror movies I've watched 😂
My library doesn't have the ebook but at least it's on Kindle unlimited. I'm in for this one for sure.

[Jason]

I am in

[afrijackson]

Very interested in this title!!

[LTJ]

YES!!! LoL the moment I saw this title, I just had to read it, now that it's a group read in March, I can't wait to fire it up! About to grab my copy now :-)

[Jacqueline]

I have a question! How do you do spoiler tags? I’m sorry I’m kinda new to discussions.

[Jenna]

I just recently finished this! Fun (?) read!

[Thomas]

I'll try my best to join, but can't promise anything with my chaotic schedule. Still gonna get it, tho, just don't know if I'll finish it on time!

[Latasha]

This one sounds good too. I love a good haunted house story.

[Jeremy]

Just confirming because I see a few titles with that name…is it the one by S.A. Barnes?

[Taylor]

Very excited to try and pick this up soon. This will actually be the first book I've purchased in a few years, haha.

I was just looking at his other book, Nunchuck City, might also get me a copy.

[Jeremy]

Totally the wrong thread 😂😂. Sorry about that. I’m not a smart man

This title of his also made me laugh

[Leeanne 🥀 The Book Whor3 🥀]

Yayyy I’m on board for this one too! Another which has been on my TBR for a while 😃

[Daniel]

I’m shocked (shocked!) that it’s not in my public library system. Weirdly, when I do the search, a biography of Paul McCartney comes up first on the list…

[Juan]

Nice, I'll buy this one just after I finish Paused

[destiny ♡]

Oooh, KU and it's short! I'm in!

[Anja]

Awesome!! I'm in. It's been æooking at me from my desk for some weeks now :D

[Anja]

*looking (gonna edit when I'm on computer...so damn tired neither app or browser on mobile have edit functions in group posts!)

[Rebel]

Yes! I wanted to read this one!

[Rachel]

i'm in for this one for sure! glad to hear it's on kindle unlimited as i'm pretty sure i won't be finding it at my local library either, lol.

[Greg]

I'll join in and try to do the other Group Read as well but I'm going to start this one first.

[Kasia]

How is it March already, just realized I have 3 group/buddy reads starting today, omgosh haha. OK let's do this!

[Latasha]

Yeah I got a few starting today too 😬

[Kimberly]

I just realized I have several starting today.... LOL!!

[Jade]

My copy won’t be here til Friday, but I’m very excited to start!

[Michelle]

I started yesterday (currently on pg 35) and I'm enjoying it so far. It doesn't take long before things get weird. (view spoiler)[I hope the obnoxious child meets a quick and horrible end (hide spoiler)]

[Badseedgirl]

I am very interested in trying this book out. I'm currently reading Lullaby, but should be able to start this one in the next couple days. I always love when I'm able to join in a group read, although I'm not always able to work it out logistically much of the time.

With a title like this, I hope there is a fair amount of snark!

[Lindsay]

I just started this today on my lunch break and I'm already 20% in (which is a nice break from some of the longer books I've read recently).

The humor feels mildly forced but I'm enjoying how FAST the action kicks in. Is it bad I relate to Damien? 😂

Edit: (view spoiler)[ Damien is absolutely annoying, and a bit condescending. But, kind of a weird kid with a mom who isn't really interested in him (or outright hostile)? Hits me in a soft spot I guess. The characters are overall extreme stereotypical tropes though, which is not appealing in the slightest. (hide spoiler)]

[Angie]

Totally on board with this one.

[Philip]

I'm in on this one--sounds like fun!

[Netanella]

I"m about 30% in. I can't relate to Damien at all. He's a little shit and I hope the house eats him and uses his shin bone as a toothpick.

I agree completely Netanella. He is too obnoxious.

[Michelle]

I'm at 35% and starting to feel underwhelmed.
(view spoiler)[I'm not sure why so many haunted house books need the cliché of an overwrought and (constantly) tearful wife saying the house is haunted while her unbelieving husband tells her she's just tired or stressed.
I hate this trope. It's so overdone it's just lazy (hide spoiler)]

[afrijackson]

I'm around 32% in and even tho I'm pretty sure this is not gonna be a Top read for me, it's still super fast paced and very entertained for now.
Also, I agree with some of you, Damien is a lil sh*t.

[Rachel]

i'm about 30% in and digging the direction of the book so far. absolutely agree about damien being a shit, but his antics have been cracking me up thus far. hope karma catches up to the little turd, lol.

[Badseedgirl]

I just read the before, and it is creepy as heck!

Very promising start.

[Michelle]

I'm at 50% now, and I feeling much better about it. The family may be a bit annoying but house is getting badass. Looking forward to more darkness.

[Netanella]

Lindsay, I hope I didn't make you feel bad with my death wish for Damien. Probably went a little overboard there, however.

I do have to agree that the characters are feeling very much like stereotypes. I hope that the stereotypes of the overwrought mom and the "creepy bad/misunderstood good" son get a little more character development.

Or maybe, the house will eat both of them! 😂

[Netanella]

@74% into the book ~

The story has taken a decidedly sharp turn to the left into Twilight Zone / Outer Limits territory. I'm enjoying it a lot better now. The house is definitely eating the family members.
