Thanks for getting us started with a new list, Wendy!

by Andy Peloquin

And this one which is a little rough horror read:

by Amy Cross

Don't Take Away the Light by J.N. Williamson.

You always come up with books that look new and amazing to me!

In addition to the Christopher Slatsky book, The Immeasurable Corpse of Nature, I'm also reading and I'm listening to:
. I'm also going to read .

I definitely try to find out-of-the-way books, Char! Williamson is commonly derided as a hack, but Don't Take Away the Light is powerful and emotional so far. Terrific writing.

Hi guys, happy new year of reading! :)


Was in a mood for a bit of a "who done it," about 8% in and enjoying it..



A secluded mountain lodge. The perfect getaway. So remote no one will ever find you.

The promise of a luxury vacation at a secluded wilderness spa has brought together eight lucky guests. But nothing is what they were led to believe. As a fierce storm barrels down and all contact with the outside is cut off, the guests fear that it’s not a getaway. It’s a trap.

Each one has a secret. Each one has something to hide. And now, as darkness closes in, they all have something to fear—including one another.

Alerted to the vanished party of strangers, homicide cop Mason Deniaud and search and rescue expert Callie Sutton must brave the brutal elements of the mountains to find them. But even Mason and Callie have no idea how precious time is. Because the clock is ticking, and one by one, the guests of Forest Shadow Lodge are being hunted. For them, surviving becomes part of a diabolical game. (less)

I'm reading the 2nd book in the Father of Lies Trilogy by Sarah England. This trilogy is absolutely riveting and one of the best occult horror stories I've ever read, made even more scarier by the fact that it is based on true events.Tanners Dell

My current book - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Starting of the new year with a big one:

Perhaps not horror, but I'm about to return to "Origin" by Dan Brown. Has anyone read this?

I have, can't say it was my favorite in the series.

As always, too many books going at one time:

You're brave! I've had that one since it came out. It's just sitting there. :)

Me too. I'm using it as my 'S' book for the A-Z challenge so I have a good reason to finally get around to reading it.

For the first couple dozen pages or so I was beginning to wonder if I could slog through the 700 pages, 'cause it starts off weirrrrrrrd and uneven. But after a couple chapters the story settled down and I'm 100 pages in now and liking where things are going.

I'm reading Lethal white by Robert Galbraith I've so looked forward to this

Also been putting this monster off. XD Maybe we need a buddy read?

The world's longest ever buddy read! Might be fun. :)

Hey, is anyone else unable to update their reading progress on their profile page? The little bar is gone :(

It appears to be GR-wide glitch. Hopefully they'll fix it soon.

Oooo my home page just returned to showing book progress! Looks like they fixed it.

The Stone Sky

A Time of Torment
Going to try getting caught up on the series this year. It's soooo good.

Frozen Hell: The Book That Inspired "the Thing" by John W. Campbell Jr. and its companion anthology Short Things: Tales Inspired by "Who Goes There?" by John W. Campbell, Jr.

Just started Tales from the Gas Station by Jack Townsend.

I'm reading The Institute. I haven't read much yet, but so far I'm enjoying it.

just starting...



it's not my usual thing, but I am determined this year to get through as much of my 'to read' list as I can! xD

Reading Hopscotch

The Sandcastle Empire

The Haunting of Hill House—actually a re-read in preparation for teaching it for the first time.

To the Nines

Blood Infernal by James Rollins and Rebecca Cantrell

Of Foster Homes and Flies Seems interesting so far! I love coming-of-age dramas.

Christopher wrote: "The Haunting of Hill House—actually a re-read in preparation for teaching it for the first time."

One of my all time favorites.

Listening to some true crime today.

I started

I forgot to add a re-read that I'm doing:
Spungunion by John Boden.

I'm rereading it because the original version, for whatever reason, never made it out to the public. The author has told me there have been some changes to the novella, and now it will soon be available everywhere. Mark my words, John Boden is the real deal.
