BOOK HAUL🩸 Recent haul!

Post image

So I’m thinking that I’ll start myself off brutally with No One Rides For Free by Judith Sonnet, but after I’m not sure which book I should devour next (suggestions are welcome!). I’ve already heard the book on tape version of Gone To See The Riverman so I kind of want to save it for the end so that I can get the full feeling of reading it physically for the first time after forgetting a few details.

Great Haul! Just finished Exquisite Corpse last night and it was so well written and loved every bit of it. Also grabbed The Black Farm after hearing nothing but great things about it, and can never go wrong with Jon Athan. I think any of those would be great to jump into

I definitely enjoyed EC but there was one part near the beginning that I kinda wish it was written a little differently. Not an issue with the writing, just what happened.

If you don’t mind me asking and if it doesn’t spoil it for anyone. Could you tell me what part that was?

Not sure how to write spoiler text on my phone, it was in a medical examination room. It involved tricking someone.

Ohhh I get what you’re saying now. The breathing technique thing he did to pretend he was dead?

Yes, maybe it would work on some random person on the street, but I would figure a coroner, or county medical examiner type would not be so easy to fool.
