Elyse (winesaboutbooks) | 565 comments I'm buddy reading House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski and of course The Devil in Silver by Victor LaValle . I'm hesitant to pin down anything else as I'm getting over COVID and feeling very overwhelmed about reading right now. Not a fun feeling! I'll start listening to All the Missing Girls by Megan Miranda tomorrow.

Oh, I'm so sorry you got COVID! Hope you're feeling better soon.

I loved House of Leaves! A challenging, but creepy read.
I posted the second discussion for The Devil in Silver today. The book is blowing my mind. I really like LaValle's work.

Elyse (winesaboutbooks) | 565 comments I realized I haven't signed up yet. lol. I finished All the Missing Girls by Megan Miranda and also listened to Always the First to Die by R.J. Jacobs . Now I'm listening to another book by the same author, And Then You Were Gone by R.J. Jacobs . Not a lot of physical reading getting done but I'm hoping to progress in The Devil in Silver by Victor LaValle today.

How are you feeling? Hope you're getting better. <3

You're getting a lot of good listening in. I'm listening to The Book of Accidents by Chuck Wendig. Pretty good!

I did end up sleeping for 3.5 hours. I finished The Mary Shelley Club by Goldy Moldavsky before midnight and after having some time to think about it, it is a REALLY well-written YA novel. I will definitely be checking out more of her books. It kind of turned me on my head last night but as I've thought about it, I enjoyed it.

Soooo I started HoL in Sept and barely touched it in Oct...ugh. I just have had so much else going on and books I wanted to read or "had" to read more than HoL. My buddy finished it weeks ago. Maybe this weekend I can buckle down with it. lol. Once I get past the big chunk, it's easy but it's just not hooked me yet.


Icy-Cobwebs-In-Space  (readingreindeerproximacentauri) | 159 comments https://intotheabyssreviews.blogspot....

I read 35; 31 I count as Horror-Halloween--pumpkin--spooky (inc. Some pretty scary psychological thrillers). The rest: Science Fiction, alternative history/historical fantasy (Babel). My primary emphasis was on Horror, ditto November.
