What the Hell Did I Just Read: A Novel of Cosmic Horror | 
pickThe title says it all.
I kept turning the pages, but don't ask me what I read. It had larvae and memory altering and kidnapping and dildos...
Third book in the "John Dies At The End" series. Read in preparation for book 4.
Low pick.

pickAnother fantastic wacky book from David wong . The third in the John dies at the end series . Not a series I would have chosen but read at the recommendation of my partner and I'm glad I did it's so easy to fall in love with these characters . 4 stars not my favourite in the series but still very good
pickI really loved this book! I haven‘t read the first two books but it didn‘t really matter. I just jumped right in and felt like it worked really well as a stand-alone.
pickI made it through the whole trilogy! This one was a little shorter than the other two, but still great. All the creepy through lines were well done, and I loved seeing the author‘s growth from the first two to this one. Hopefully the next installment will come soon!
Seems like a good start to a book
pickI loved JDATE and was indifferent to the sequel. This brought me back into the fold. So good!!
pickI really enjoyed this book. It picked up fast and had me turning the pages. The sense of humor in this book, along with the sarcasm, is definitely along the lines of my humor.
The only thing that bummed me out, was finding out that there are two other books before this one. I hate reading in the middle of a series! But with this book, I didn't have to read the first two in order to understand the characters.
I knew this was going to be a good book when this was after the title page

Oh man this one is really fun. Great choice for a goofy #spooktober read. Rewatched the movie the other day too. Almost finished!! Sure wish I could focus and read more than 3 pages at a time but whatever. I still enjoy reading even if I‘m slow af.
Yes, it's such a party that sometimes we blow our fucking brains out
I was sitting on the couch after dinner, watching the news, and got hit by a sudden wave of The Sads. So, I wandered up to B&N for a little retail therapy. It‘s never too early to plan for next October‘s #screamathon, right?
I wasn't supposed to get another book from the library bc I already have several of my own books lined up to read but this one caught my eye.
pickAnyone familiar with David Wong‘s writing from Cracked.com will appreciate how he works little bits of practical advice into this utterly ridiculous story about a depressed alcoholic and a methhead once again saving the world from insane, supernatural monsters. Anyone who has read the first two novels in the series will appreciate how John and David‘s adventures never become predictable. Anyone who doesn‘t know what to expect - that‘s the point.
I made eye contact with John and said, “I just want you to know, if it turns out you‘re a fake person inserted into my memory, my whole life will make so much more sense.”
“They didn‘t have witch hunts because they believed in witches. They believed in witches so they could have witch hunts.”
“Are you suggesting the soul is made of tiny particles?”
Meanwhile, as much as I'm loving #LetsGetGraphicWeeklongMarathon my #audiobook #MountTBR really needs some love from me. The tagged book is too creepy to listen to at night, but I love the series.
Still reading this... I just wanted to thank everyone for the warm welcome I‘ll do my best to give good honest reviews and I will be starting a segment on comparing movie versions of books so stay tuned
This is what I am currently reading ... I just joined litsy so I could be my fiancées 1000th follower
Dinner for breakfast at lunchtime and my messy table. Also pictured: the favorite mug I won at @strandbookstore from their costume contest last year. It contains a fancy oolong tea I really like. Now you know all you need to know about how my morning is going. :)
Last day of winter break and it feels like -30°, brrrr!! Going to curl up under my blanket with a giant cup coffee and see what kind of trouble John & Dave get into this time.
pickI loved this! I was a little sceptical at first but by the first chapter I had already changed my mind. I hadn't read any of his books before and didn't realise that it was part of a series but thankfully it didn't seem to matter to the story. I received another of his books for Christmas so I'm looking forward to reading that one!
They turned on the tv. *sad trombone* I went to the park to read. Good thing it‘s not so cold today.
A little cosmic horror and hijinks to go with lunch today! (I already ate it but now I can read! Provided they leave the break room tv off.)
NPR posted their best of 2017 list. There are some great titles in there BUT I don‘t see The Heart‘s Invisible Furies. How can that be?!?! And what‘s worse, LUCKY YOU is on there. Really, NPR?!?!? I just can‘t. 🤭🤭 https://apps.npr.org/best-books-2017/
Chapter 25: Well, they certainly fucked that up, didn‘t they?
#TBRtemptation post 7! Recently released. This is the 3rd installment in the John Dies At the End series. This dark comic sci-fi thriller finds John and Amy recounting a tale of a shape-shifting creature that steals children and brainwashes their parents. But the narrative is a cover-up, and how can you tell what happened from what didn't? #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
pickDave, John & Amy are back in their 3rd book. The group has to battle a supernatural threat that takes the shape of children. Only the guys can see that the kids are not who they seem nor for that matter is any one else. There is a villain who wears nothing but little girls underwear, a creature part bat & part praying mantis, an ex military guy itching to blow anything up & a mysterious organization that may or may not be helpful. Great, fun book!
Just started this. Hoping it's as fun as the first two!
I can't explain how excited I am to start this book today! Dave & John are back 😎
Loved this passage. 📚📚📚😜🙃😊
pickWhile my first impression was that this was a nerdy dudebro's wet dream, I quickly realized that Wong has talent obscured by his crass (relatable) view on life.
It's mixes the absurdity of Evil Dead with the dynamic & routine of Supernatural, and reads like the Unnoticeables. I left this book open to obscene chapter titles for my guy to glance over and demand he read this next.
Hadn't read the first two, and didn't have to, but I might now!
"It all matters. The universe is a series of fulcrums, upon which fate tilts this way and that. A random application for an art school is rejected, and a young Adolf Hitler changes careers."
I'm surprised how much I like this book, although it seems to have put Jackson to sleep. ??
Murder Elf is ready for our road trip. David Wong audiobook playing on the radio!
Been looking forward to this one. Glad Stephen R. Thorne is back as narrator.
Here's what I read in October! I had a super busy month, but thankfully I still have time to read at my one job or I'd go crazy! I'll be working on picking a winner for #LittensDressedInBlood and I want to track down those Nov pic challenges (feel free to comment if you're doing one), and oh yeah, #NaNoWriMo starts today!

pickThis is the first David Wong novel I‘ve read and, OMG, it was fabulous! The action started immediately and never let up. The adventures of Dave, John, and Amy, residents of Undisclosed, reminded me of the cast of Eerie Indiana, all grown up. The monsters were irreverent and terrifying, and the trio of monster-hunters was hilarious and not as incompetent as Dave would like us to believe. If you like your mysteries weird and irreverent, try this.
Who else reads whenever they can? Waiting for my husband to get off work and snatching a few minutes of reading
Seriously, just read Wong.
pickThe third novel in the John Dies at the End series. Holy shit. It was full of butts and I couldn't have asked for much more. #johndiesattheend #whatthehelldidijustread #davidwong #endoftheworld #horror #comedy #darksenseofhumor
