I'm in! Filling my Hoopla with horror! Gotta use the rest of my March borrows and I won't have to finish them till mid-April so it's perfect! Gotta take a look at I Read Horror Year-Round to see what I can fill in!

It has begun! I'll be back with my TBR soon!

My TBR

I forgot about the rest of my March Hoopla borrows lol. But I'm re-reading right now. And listening to .

Currently reading

I'm in! I have an enormous Pile Of Possibilities for April, and I kicked off the month with On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century. Does that count as horror? Or just current events?

Both.🤨
But then, I'm reading up on Hitler's rise to power and Nazi occultism.

Most definitely. Current events right now are one huge horror film.

Tomorrow is the 24-Hour Readathon. Post is up on the blog. Link in the top comment.

Hope you will join us!

My in-laws are here but they're leaving before noon so hopefully I'll get a good reading day in.

For the 24 (half an hour "late"😁) I'm reading The Exorcist. Also yesterday picked up Bradbury's The Illustrated Man on Kindle Daily Deal to reread; the first ever Ray Bradbury I encountered as a child reader.

Started with

I only made it to p. 133 of The Exorcist: 40th Anniversary Edition. Reread my terribly condescending 2014 brief review; much different perspective now, so I will be adding a new review addendum. Still not imho "the most terrifying novel ever" as the cover shouts; I've read novels much more terrifying "to me," including Edward Lee's GAST and the novel whose title and author I still can't recall, about the Jewish Violinist at Auschwitz. But I will raise the rating to 4* and I plan to read the Sequel also. Legion
Gast
I expect to finish today. Maybe tomorrow I'll read the NetGalley ARC of Veil. I can't help but noticing I'm reading The Exorcist on the first day of Passover. (Evening April 12).

I would have to agree about The Exorcist. I found Hell House by Richard Matheson to be much more terrifying. Planning a reread at some point. Maybe I'll make it the read-along for Something Wicked Fall/FrightFall.

Really looking forward to Veil!

LISTENING

On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century is a deal on Kindle, at $1.99! I think that will be my 2nd May read: my first May Read will be a long-overdue reread of A Tale of Two Cities. Vive la Bastille! Then a close and thoughtful reread of Hitler’s Monsters: A Supernatural History of the Third Reich, which I read via Hoopla this month, and purchased on Kindle Friday. Intriguing how lately all the History I need keeps falling into my hands (global and personal). Saturn must be in Retrograde or something.
