Just finished reading the Gauntlet LE of Blake Crouch's "The Last Town", a first time read for me. This book was exactly what I was hoping for when I finished the last book in the series. It pretty much picks-up right where that book left off, and boy was it a pure high-octane horror show of a read, and that ending had me completely in my feels for the rest of the day. Man, what a great way to end the Wayward Pines trilogy! I've only read this series & Dark Matter so far, but boy can Crouch write!

Am now reading the SST signed slipcased LE of Stephen Graham Jones' "Don't Fear the Reaper", the second book in his Indian River trilogy and a first time read for me. I have very high hopes for this one as I enjoyed the first book and am a big Jones fan in general.

Doing something I haven’t done in 20 years - reading a Dean Koontz book.

Devoted.

120 pages in and so far so good.

Just finished reading the Thunderstorm Black Voltage of Michael Seidlinger's "Anybody Home?", a first time read and author for me. While the idea behind this story is cool, I can't lie, this was a tough book for me. I'm not the biggest fan of books written in the second person; so, that took me a bit to get used to. I also thought the book's tone was a bit too meta/slick for my taste and that a lot of the characters' actions seemed unlikely. That being said, there was always something happening that seemed to keep me reading, and there were some seriously upsetting scenes sprinkled throughout the story. I think that I might have enjoyed this story better if it was a novella rather than a novel. Overall, glad to have read the book as the author had a cool idea (and the reference to the Saw movies in the story was quite funny), but I doubt that I will be rereading it any time soon.

Am now reading the Gauntlet LE of Blake Crouch's "The Last Town". I'm super excited to finally be reading this book and to see how the Wayward Pines trilogy wraps up!

Finished up The Outsiders by SE Hinton. Thoroughly enjoyed this YA classic about high school kids and class distinctions in a small Oklahoma town in the 60’s.

After The Outsiders, finished up Riding the Nightmare by Lisa Tuttle, another very good collection from this underrated author.

Later tonight I’m starting Rolling in the Deep, the final novella in the Mira Grant collection Apocalypse Scenarios: These are the Ways the World Ends. Really liked Into the Drowning Deep when I read it a few years ago, and the chance to read this prequel novella was my main reason for picking up Apocalypse Scenarios.
