@MsRadioSilence Happy Sooky Season!!!
(I had to open it, take a quick picture, and then run off to work 😅)
I love the little dracula pop figure, I can't wait to put him up with all my little figures! And the card is so cute! I love all of it! I can't wait to go home and start reading The Meg!!
Thank you so much!!! 🧡🔮👻🎃
I am so excited about my #FFFS package! The big bag of m&ms, the candles, cute towels and pumpkin welcome sign!! My FAVORITE coffee!!! I‘ll be using my notebook starting today to track #scarathlon points/readathons!! And the books!! I just finished a deep sea horror book so I‘m super excited to read Meg! The other 2 have been on my TBR forever! I love a bloody fairy tale & quirky romance! Thank you so much!! @Mommamanzi I think this was from you?
so-so🙄🙄🙄only 3 because listening was entertaining as far as a story with cartoon people and over the top silliness lol! Perfect for summer walks in the park. For eye rolling and laugh out loud nonsense I give this 3. If I‘d read it, it would definitely be one 🌟
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Delightfully corny because it‘s so serious, y‘all. Alten will make you question a Meg‘s existence legitimately, but the story gets a bit batshit. All the while, it stays very serious which really cracked me up! Passing this to my husband, then we‘re watching the first movie. Meanwhile, I‘m starting book two. Why not?! Entertaining as hell.
It was so hot at the pool today that the binding glue melted and my book came apart. Currently gluing back together. Thanks, Tennessee! 🥵
“the most desolate location on the planet, nature had found a way to allow life to not only exist, but to thrive.” Let‘s see …. I love terrible shark movies , let‘s check how I feel about shark books ❤️
pick4 ⭐️s
I really liked this fast paced thrill ride. It‘s like Jurassic Park meets Jaws. The cast of characters was great, believably flawed and (mostly) likable. Alten‘s humor and way of writing dialogue are absolute gems. Looking forward to the rest of the series. I didn‘t know about the movie til I was reading this, and it has Jason Statham in it, so I HAVE to watch that now! 😅
panShort but pretty awful.

This novella in the #MegSeries takes place immediately after the first book & is currently available on #KindleUnlimited! It‘s not great - seriously there are a lot of editing and continuity issues (the first book came out in 1997- but here there‘s social media & smartphones all prior to their existence!) and the sharks are bloodthirsty & unrealistic- but, all that aside, it is still fun to read about their bitey ways! Looking forward to more!
I made homemade chicken parm with linguine noodles and homemade red sauce. With garlic bread on the side. I love listening to audio books while I cook. I really zone out and enjoy myself 😍😍
How many chickens do you think it would take to fill a Meg up??
pickCampy, cheesy, predictable, and exactly the fun kind of escapist fiction I needed right now. Enjoyable!
pickAre you ready for this book friends... I liked the movie more than the book.
I liked the book and I think the way the Meg gets out was better but overall, give me Jason Statham any day. I much preferred the characters in the movie (not all) and I am so grateful that they changed things up.
I surrender my book lover credentials and I am sorry 😥😰
Okay, for real, after I finish The Meg, I‘m not going to get any more library books (except for the ones on hold) because I have to read the books I keep buying. And I mean it this time. I‘m serious. Dieter (above) is very serious. We mean business. We‘re going to read the books in the house until we don‘t have piles on the floor anymore. Seriously.
It's just another #ManicMonday @JoScho
1. MEG by Steve Alten. When the Meg decides to eat the surfing competition.
2. Point Break
3. One More Minute by Authority Zero
What's good background for cleaning and reading? The Meg of course.
I just gave a review of this book on YouTube. Check it out and let me know what you think.

This book is what the crappy movie wanted to be. Seriously, toss everything out in regards to the movie, just throw the DVD/blu ray away. This book is all you will need.
pickLove love love this entire series, I picked up Meg on a whim and am now a true fan of the shark and the writer.
pickThey didn't have MEG: Generations in the Litsy database. This has been such a fun series! This is probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite of the MEG books. More giant sharks, way more other giant sea creatures, bad guys getting eaten, piracy, monster fights, awesome deep sea tech, and history's long awaited return of Titanoboa! An exciting read, right up to the cliffhanger ending. I need Steve Alten to finish the next book now! I need more giant sharks!😁
@BrittanyReads thank you so much honey. The book made it here safely. I really appreciate you sending it to its new home. It will be loved 💗
pickI was not sure at the beginning I was going to like this. But the ending got me and now I need to know what else happens. I tried to get Sheba to let the book sit there but she was not having that. #schnauzersoflitsy
From murderous college kids, to sweet Ramona Q to killer sharks. 🦈🦈
pickI'm not even embarrassed by how much I liked this book. I love campy, cheesy, B-list monster books and this horrible/amazing book checked all the boxes. 10/10 would recommend. #monstershark #megalodon
pickThis would normally be a so-:so for me as the writing wasn‘t great but the fun factor of sharks is going to round it up to a pick. Lots of action. And sharks. 😍
I watched the movie right after and it was also enjoyable 😂

On its way to @InBooksILive Tuesday
so-soSo. I was ok with this book, as I pictured Jason statham in my head (always a good time). But the end...oh the end. Silly shenanigans. Although, would‘ve been cool to see Jason statham in those shenanigans. Just sayin‘.
1. Teleportation! I could have any food from anywhere anytime I wanted! Mind reading could be scary. We really don't want to know what everyone is thinking.
2. MEG was a blast of giant shark sized fun!
3. Nope
4. Fresh Meat and we just started You. I love Joe so far.
5. Will do!😊
#friyayintro @howjessreads
pickI finished my first audio book of the year. MEG was a fun book. I love a good shark story. The narrator was decent, the main character was mostly likeable, the author's megalodon could still be alive theory is almost believable, and the right people got eaten at the right times. Everything you need from a giant shark novel.
As an added bonus, I've discovered that I like audio cleaning. Much to @cobwebmoth 's delight. 😘
1. This was the first heavy frost of winter. I took this picture when I got to work on the day of the solstice.
2. I want to read more from my TBR. I literally have stacks and stacks of books waiting to be read.
3. Best: I think that I grew closer to my family.
Worst: To many funerals.
4. Nope. No resolutions, only intentions.
5. I started listing to the audio book of Meg on Hoopla.
#HumpDayPost @MinDea
so-soI liked the movie better! I love me some sharks, I love me some crazy, but while this had both it wasn't that well done. I do know the author has completely rewritten the book, which I bought before the book swap. I might skim through it at some point to see if the info dumping got better. But still, I laughed a lot. #HGPBC #horrorgoespostalbookclub #teamCthulhu @TheReadingMermaid @jillannjohn @InBooksILive @MaleficentBookDragon
pickMeg is about a giant shark. You would not think there is much to say about a giant shark but this book prove me wrong. I‘m as surprised as you. Check out my review here: https://youtu.be/nvRvymRlvnA
pickI would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes a good thrill with lots of action and a good, simple plot.

Aaaaaand GO!!! 😋
Taking a break from the Goosebumps challenge today.

@MaleficentBookDragon @InBooksILive @jillannjohn @PirateJenny
This book is good. Cannot put it down!!! 🤣
#BookMail today! Thank you @MaleficentBookDragon for all the goodies. I 💙 the notebook! I was wondering though, 🤔are the extra book and the bookmark meant for me to keep as well? Or should I send them along with Meg?
#HGPBC #TeamCthulhu
Look what I just randomly caught! 😄 This book has been surfing around from a friend, of a friend, of my mother's - now finding its way to me; somewhat worn, yet with the sticker still on. 🌊 I really wanted to see the movie, but was working all summer. 🏖 Since I'm all booked for Halloween currently, I'll save The Meg for my summer 2019 reads.
My husband surprised me with this today!!!!! If there‘s a best husband award he deserves it for sure!!! 💗💏
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!
Ok..so... feeling a little annoyed right now.
I really didn‘t want the movie tie-in cover for Meg since I was planning to purchase a few of the books in the series and like my series to match. Searched around and found that Book Depository had the original cover so I ordered it. Not only did it take a really long time to get here, but I open the package to find the movie cover. 😡 *BIG SIGH*
Ok, rant over...still mad though. 🤬
pickI loved this book! Talk about adrenaline rush!!! I love sharks ! This book was a tad slow in beginning like the first 3 chapters, but once you make it past that it's non stop crazy Megalodon mode! If you like deep sea terror read this!!!!!🤘🐟
10/10 for the sheer fact it kept me on my toes!
#horror
pickI discovered this series a decade ago, and as a #SharkLover, this is right up my alley! Since I twisted my husband‘s arm into seeing the movie with me, I‘ve been looking forward to re-reading the first books in the series and then catching up with the new ones!! 🦈🦈🦈 This just a fast and fun #shark book!!
