I read Remarkably Bright Creatures a few months ago. Didn't like it as much as I anticipated, but what can you do...
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Amy I picked up Needless Street last night based on your recommendation, and I could not put it down. I’m about a 3rd of the way through.

Now tagless for your comfort.
My boss loved that book.

Because books.
I did not see most of it coming. LOVED.
I have read Hendrix and he's wonderful. Particularly liked I Southern Book Club.

Apparently I'm shit at formatting on my phone.

I have read two Hendrix where I loved the concept but hated the execution of it.

Amy, I finished the book last night. I saw most of it coming, but there were a few surprises.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
With the stuff of his that I've read (which I think is just Horrorstor and How to Sell a Haunted House), it works for me about 90%. Not quite a home run, but enough that several times during Haunted House, I said out loud, "Holy shit."

Dana, yeah, Haunted House had some wild stuff. I think My Best Friend's Exorcism and Southern Book Club are two of the best.
Thanks, sj! There was one of hers I stopped reading because it freaked me out too much (The Hollow Places) but I really liked her writing! I'll pick up ...Good Bones from the library.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Hollow Places is definitely her scariest book, imho.
I read Horrorstor and The Final Girls Support group. I loved all the chapter headings and such with Horrorstor, but the story itself didn’t scare me. FGSG just made me think he should write less female characters because there was a lot of cringe there.
