#NowReading My Darling Girl by Jennifer McMahon
The cover shows a little girl's hands resting in her lap. She wears a blue dress, and craddled in her hands is a blue and dark red striped feather. A small trickle of blood runs out over one finger.

It appears I accidently dressed like the protagonist of #TheRunningMan when I went to see it... (it's a great movie by the way!)

#NowReading She Didn't See it Coming by Shari Lapena

The title of this one is JUST close enough to the chorus of Cell Block Tango that the song is going to be stuck in my head a lot.
The cover features the corner of an apartment building at night. Four floors glow in different shades as the silhouette of a person on each floor is somewhere among the vertical blinds. The blinds are open to different degrees, and the simple style of the art, makes the apartment empty of all else.

#NowReading A Hunter Called Night by @timwaggoner.bsky.social
The cover of the book is a firey, painterly style. A side shot of the head of a big cat that's snarling is depicted in darker tones.

#NowReading Doctor Sleep by @stephenking.bsky.social

Another reference reread. I probably won't need any of the info I'll glean from this one, but better safe than sorry.
The cover is black. The red face of a woman wearing a hat emerges from the darkness. Cigarette like smoke spells out the title and author name.

I live in a tricker-treater dead zone, so instead I'm out supporting the horror movie industry.

#NowReading All Hallows by @cgolden.bsky.social

I still need to do a research reread of Doctor Sleep, but I couldn't say no to this title today.
The cover is black and covered in red branches. They are cut and laid out to make a jack-o'-lantern style face with ragged teeth and a candle flame in each prickly wreath like eye.

#NowReading The Shining by @stephenking.bsky.social

I'm certain there's a number of you who know exactly why this reread is happening.
The cover is black with white font, and a bold yellow band where King's name is. The silhouette of a man is picked out by yellow rays.

#NowReading The Last One at the Wedding by @jasonrekulak.bsky.social

Another beautiful blue cover that my phone murdered.
The cover is a view across a blue lake at night, looking at a large lodge nestled among some pine on the shore with all its windows lit aglow.

#NowReading What Have You Done? by Shari Lapena.

Apparently I've fallen behind on her books, as I discovered two on my TBR shelf. Also, my phone cannot capture how lovely the blue of this cover is.
Much of the cover of the book is blue clouds, darker along the top and lighter on the bottom. At the very bottom a bright red barn in sunlight sits before some trees, and at the end of a path through long green grass.

#NowReading Fables, Folklore & Ancient Stories: Scottish Folk & Fairy Tales edited by J.K. Jackson
The cover is pale gree with a pale purple and yellow sun design held upon a dual green mountain. In the center is a fictional animal that is part horse and part serpent fish.

#NowReading Little Heaven by Nick Cutter (Craig Davidson)
The cover depicts a firey, red and black clouded sky over the silhouette of a small church amongst some trees.

For absolutely no reason, here's a blob of plum sauce that I thought looked like Godzilla with a big chin.

Having read THE STAND as well as THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT this year, I'm not sure how I feel about having walked down this road today.

#NowReading The Return by @rachelharrison.bsky.social
The cover is hot pink. It's a view down a short hall that ends where another intersects it. A chair stands alone, sideways to the viewer. The shadow of a person fills the floor beside it.

I wouldn't know where you'd get them, but my boy loves these fabric butterflies with crunchy stuff in the wings. He gifts them to people he likes. His absolute favourite though is the flying squirrel by Instincts. He'll keep playing with one even after he's ripped it into nearly nothing.

#NowReading The End of the World As We Know It: New Tales of Stephen King's The Stand edited by @cgolden.bsky.social & @briankeene.bsky.social

@stephenking.bsky.social's The Stand HEAVILY influenced my 1st book. I'm gonna love this while being profoundly jealous of the authors who got to contribute
The cover is black with the main balk of the title in a large red font that covers most of it. The lesser title is below, smaller and a pale sand colour. Beside it is the head of a crow that has a red eye with a slitted pupil.

I'm grateful for my little guy, who makes me smile at least once a day.
