Now I've moved on to a Joe Hill novel, only the second of his I've tried (after NOS4A2), and it's off to a blazing hot start! The Fireman. (You see what I did there, right?) #JoeHill #horror #thriller #TheFireman

Finished The Babysitter Lives, by Stephen Graham Jones. Fascinating haunted house tale. Loved what he did with MANY elements of this story. Great TWISTS in this tale! But the ending? Got me scratching my head. Like it? Hate it? I can't decide... yet. Pondering. #Haunted #horror @sgj.bsky.social

Finished Swan Song, by Robert McCammon. Hmmm... A dystopian apocalyptic tale of good vs. evil. Sort of. Also, a little bizarre. A 3-star read for me, that I wish I felt better about, but in the end it was simply "OK." Review episode coming. #SFF #apocalyptic

Finished Mushroom Blues (The Hofmann Report Book 1): It ended better than I anticipated. I'm always here for a good story, and that's what I got. It's not a perfect read, but it's got some great qualities, and is worth the experience. Review soon! #SFF #fantasy #selfpublished

Mushroom Blues (Hofmann Report #1), 84%: Oddly enough, this bizarre little novel has grown on me. (If you've read that, you'll catch what I did there.) Pushing on toward the finale, and pushing really isn't necessary. I want to know what happens! #SFF

Swan Song, 41%: Reading this book as it is dystopian apocalyptic writing, usually my jam. It's going okay. But that said, it feels weak. Too many characters are just shallow caricatures. Depth is lacking. Interesting story, but not great yet. Continuing... #dystopian #SFF

As BookTubers, we gain subs, we lose subs. New subs come from episodes. Unsubs occur at random, usually someone purging subs. Today, 1 person dropped us due to my positive review of the novel Final Girls. What? A Final Girls hater, furious I liked it? What the heck? 🤪 #BookTube
