Just finished Inspection by Josh Malerman. Great book. Better than Bird Box or Malorie which I loved. His best so far. Highly recommend this one. I would love to see a movie but in our overly sensitive times, probably not.
Wish List:
Any of the following flatsigned or inscribed-
It, Shining, Salem’s Lot, Mr. Mercedes, The Stand
Brother ARC, Seed ARC
Revelation by Bentley Little. I've liked all the books I've read by him.
Halloween Horror Nights Unofficial: The Story & Guide 2020 by Christopher Ripley. He tells the stories behind HHN and gives walkthroughs of all the haunted attractions for every single year.
The Incredible Journey by Sheila Burnford. This is the bathtime book I'm reading to my little girl. I read her a The Boxcar Children book before this. And I'm reading the Magic Treehouse books to her and and my little boy. I use their names instead of the characters names.

Kris, this is a must if you liked anything else by him. Just finished Daphne and it was fun but Inspection is one of my favorites in the last few years of anyone.
Wish List:
Any of the following flatsigned or inscribed-
It, Shining, Salem’s Lot, Mr. Mercedes, The Stand
Brother ARC, Seed ARC
I enjoyed Inspection a lot, loved Malorie, despised Daphne.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
Zelazny - Damnation Valley.
I found the movie tie-in paperback for $2, hell yeah.
Oh yeah, also Ben Bova - My Favorites. The title is a little uninspired but the stories are great.
The Devil Takes You Home, Gabino Iglesias. I like it, but not being bilingual makes it distracting sometimes when he jumps back and forth between languages.
WANTED:
Any DT S/L’s #181
Recently I came upon a paperback Uncorrected Proof of Resistance by Jennifer A. Nielsen.
NOt saure how I even acquired this book but as I am participating in the 2023 Goodreads challenge to read 36 books this year I dove in.
All I can say is wow. Resistance is a story of a 16 year old Jewish girl who in 1943 joined the Re3sistance to fight the invading Germans. These kids and young adults knew they couldn't win but they would rather die fighting than be herded like lemmings to the death camps. Its a poignant story, a sad story, a heroic story and an inspiring story. I couldn't put it down until the end when i took a deep breath and sighed wow this really happened. Some of the characters were real, some fictionalized, but the story told was true. I'm glad I read it.
By the way I am at book 15 in my challenge and may even double my target number.

Interesting! Now I have to get it read before the library wants it back, have to get the large prints from there these days...
Off topic but does anyone know of a member that collects large prints? I really wish I had more than I do now that it's getting harder to read. I want to gawk

Finished Sour Candy by Kealan Patrick Burke in one go. Pretty good stuff, no-nonsense horror with some nicely crafted sentences.
