Steve Stred | 135 comments Hey all! Apologies on the delay getting here. GR has stopped working on my phone so I had to wait to get to my work computer to log in!

Cheers to those who've snagged a copy and to those who've read it already! It is available on KU as well, so for those who have that option, please don't forget about that!

Excited to see how you enjoy it and your thoughts!


Sally | 340 comments Y'all are in for a damn treat! This book is spectacular, enjoy! Hey, Steve!!

Elke (misspider) | 651 comments Welcome Steve and hello to all joining this month's exciting group read.

What a fantastic cover! At first glance I didn't recognize the birds, which gave the creature a gruesome look with large horns and ears (and still does). Love it!

That combined with the mention of 'cold weather' and the first few lines of the book sealed the deal for me.
On such occasions I am grateful for ebooks, which make me one click away from reading the book and just in time for March.

Thanks! Yes, Greg Chapman does amazing work! I've loved seeing folks miss the two birds on first glances!

Steve Stred | 135 comments And @ everyone else! Hello - for some reason my 'reply' feature isn't showing up under anyone else's comments prior to me commenting! So, my apologies for not directly replying to each of you - but it looks like going forward I should have no issues! I think my Goodreads is having technical glitches because my own profile photo isn't showing up either haha!


Staceface | 1 comments Welcome, Steve! I've recently begun to dive deeper into the horror genre and am excited to read this book.

There may be something going on with Goodreads in general. I know it wasn't letting me on the other day because it said there were too many people already on the site. Who woulda thunk so many people still read books?!

I think my issue was actually resolved! I logged out and logged back in. Usually I log in through my Amazon log in, but this time I did the Google one and the feed looks normal and is running way smoother!
But yes - I have had that pop up before haha!

I have been having issues as well logging in saying too many people are logged in or that my account doesn't exist ;( anyways, I am here now and just got my copy of "Churn the Soil" Looking forward to this read. Unfortunately, I can read 200 to 400 page books in a day (usually 4 to 9 hours) because I can't stop myself or put them down. Happy Reading everyone

Jennifer | 450 comments Hi Steve!

I was super happy to see this as March's choice as that meant I had to buy it now rather than wait until I've read a few more on my TBR pile. So yay! My copy arrives tomorrow just in time.

I read Mastodon last year and really enjoyed it so looking forward to this one.

I wish I could read that long. If I can get an hour or two a day I feel so lucky! It's mostly because I have a hard time sitting still for very long. I'll have to work on that! :)

Good gawd, Alexis! I am so jealous of your daily reading time!! Lol.


Alexis (alyxe) | 24 comments Ok, I jumped the gun and started a day early and finished the same day. Y'all are in for a real treat. Get ready to have your hearts beating out of your chests. This book leaves nothing out and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Not one dull moment and nothing to complain about. Great book Steve and I am looking forward to the comments in the coming month and hope to grab another book or two written by you. Now, I get to go to bed in the middle of the woods in a century old farmhouse (that is true by the way)
