<br>
👍 A satisfying conclusion to the duet. There were some cheesy parts, but overall I enjoyed it. I probably won’t continue in the universe anytime soon, just bc the tbr is ever growing 🙃 <br>

Antonina_orthefallofrome👍 MAJOR WWZ vibes, except more traumatic bc it’s a 2025 pandemic and the story is told in first person POV as the pandemic progresses. The wide range of human experience from incel conspiracy theorist, to grieving widow and mother, to the scientists trying to find a cure were done very well. The exploration of grief was a big theme as there were some truly heartbreaking parts. There were some happy parts too and I felt finding that balance was important. I also loved the geopolitical commentary/what ifs. I highly recommend the audio as it had a full cast! <br>

Antonina_orthefallofrome👍 This thriller was BONKERS. Unreliable narrator at its finest. I enjoyed the bits of the finished documentary interspersed in the story as the book progressed. I can’t really say much else bc of spoilers but I binged this in a day!<br>

Antonina_orthefallofrome📚”We may be without powers, but we are not powerless.”<br>
<br>
👍 This had Lord of the Flies x the hysteria of Pont-Saint-Esprit vibes with a touch of sinister village elders of Gathering Blue. The plot had some nice surprises in store, and I enjoyed the social commentary. The ending, although hopeful, kinda petered out for me. I was hoping for more definitive change but overall, a solid read.<br>

Steve Mitchell<p>This collection of short stories will be my next book. Even though I am in my fifties, the children’s books of Roald Dahl remain some of my favourites - as you’re asking, ‘Fantastic Mr Fox’ tops that particular list - but let us not forget that he wrote some belters for a more mature readership <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Goodreads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Goodreads</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ReadingChallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReadingChallenge</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/CurrentlyReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CurrentlyReading</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Bookworm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bookworm</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Bibliophile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bibliophile</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/RoaldDahl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RoaldDahl</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/TalesOfTheUnexpected" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TalesOfTheUnexpected</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/TheWonderfulStoryOfHenrySugar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheWonderfulStoryOfHenrySugar</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ShortStories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShortStories</span></a></p>

Antonina_orthefallofrome👍 Okay so, this was going to be a five star read for me. It asks important questions about power dynamics and consent and choices. But. <br>
<br>
👎 There’s a plot point that I can’t get over. I won’t get into it here for the sake of spoilers. I know the book was trying to make a point about consent but I can’t get over it and so I personally would not recommend.<br>

Antonina_orthefallofrome📚 “We may be either beloved or burned, but never trusted with any degree of power.”<br>
<br>
👍I really loved that at its heart, this was a story of power through knowledge. The chapter headers quoting common children’s rhymes and folk tales passed on as secret knowledge was amazing. It’s also about sisters. Not just blood (although the three FMC are blood related sisters) but those we find common ground with and add to our circle. Also, the audio narration was great, it really brought to life the beautifully written descriptions.<br>

Antonina_orthefallofrome👍Loved the Hatshepsut inspiration for the archaeological mystery. The story had a lot going on with a personal tragedy/mystery, heist, curse, and girl bossing. By the end, everything came together with a nice neat bow on top. The book also talked about provenance and although it didn’t make a stand one way or another, it’s an interesting debate.<br>

Autumn is for ReadingBeen a while (blame me being stuck in a pain flare), but here's a copy of Ashley Shew's "Against Technoableism," which i borrowed from my local library. Very interesting look at how people often view technology as the ultimate "fix" for disability while ignoring the many systemic problems that disabled people face on a daily basis.<br>

Wordy Words on WordsLast camp book in the original Goosebumps series!<br>
<br>
This is definitely my favorite camp book in the Goosebumps series. It has everything: gaslighting, ghosts, attempted murder, snakes, and betrayal. <br>
<br>
It was also scarier than a LOT of other Goosebumps books and it made me start thinking about JK Rowling.<br>
<br>
The genius of (the morally questionable) Rowling was that her books graduated in difficulty, subject matter, and characterization as they went on. Kids who were eleven when the first Harry Potter book came out got to grow up WITH Harry and deal with more and more mature things right next to him as they had to deal with more mature things in their own lives.<br>
<br>
It was brilliant.<br>
<br>
And I’m not saying Stine is Rowling or anything (Stine is OBVIOUSLY better than Rowling even if he never read the story I sent him as a kid. At least he’s not a TERF. That I know of - please don’t correct me), but the books have been getting scarier and it would be WILD if the last one served as a bridge to the scarier and far more violent Fear Street books.<br>
<br>
Imagine: A kid goes through a scarier than average Goosebumps story and the family moves in the end like Welcome to Dead <br>
House only pull up to a new house in a new town and the kid gets out to survey the scene. It’s quiet and he realizes that there aren’t any birds singing. And it’s chilly even though it’s summer. And what does that street sign say?<br>
<br>
“Fear Street? What kind of town names a street like that?”<br>
<br>
And then nothing. That’s the end.<br>
<br>
I think that would have been the coolest think Stine could have done but, alas, it didn’t work out like that. But we’ll talk about all that later.<br>

Wordy Words on WordsWhen I originally read this, I was impressed that the kid could basically fall asleep on command. I’m pretty quick to fall asleep and my wife gets pretty jealous of it, but I can’t just zonk out when I’m super stressed about things - like I can only imagine this kid was.<br>
<br>
And I really enjoyed the fever dream state of this book. Absolutely dreadful episode of the show, but the book was good.<br>
<br>
Except for one thing: You know how in movies they sometimes try to be cute and slip in names as an homage to the movie-maker’s influences? Like how in Friday the 13th, Tommy was at Karloff’s Garage? Or how in Scream, Rose McGowan said “Wes Carpenter?”<br>
<br>
And you know how it NEVER feels natural? These names are critical to the point where they seem almost unique to that individual. Are there other people named Wes? Sure! But in the context of horror movies, is there really any other Wes? Or a Karloff? <br>
<br>
It takes me right out of the story. <br>
<br>
It’s even harder in books because I can’t exactly read when my eyes are rolling in my head. <br>
<br>
That said, Stine has avoided it almost entirely until this book. He fell HARD in this book.<br>
<br>
Two characters. One named Bruce. One named Wayne. They’re always together so it’s “Bruce said,” “Wayne added.”<br>
<br>
Ugh.<br>
