pickMy last audiobook finished in October had been in my audible library for a ridiculously long time, so yay for knocking another one off of #MtTBR.
I somehow managed to stumble in to several Lovecraftian books last month, including this one. Fascinating concept: a too-good-to-be-true LA apartment building with weirdness and House of Leaves vibes. Nate and his neighbors start investigating, and it only gets weirder.
⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
pickNot my favorite Peter Clines book. I loved the first half of the book but the second half left me shaking my head. It was just too weird for my tastes. It is a story about an alternate universe and it just became too far out there. I also would have also liked a little more character development. 3.5ish ⭐
panThis was a ridiculous book, which normally I wouldn't mind if it was executed well. But unfortunately this wasn't. Big points, however, to the author for bending and blending genres, and also to the utterly fantastic audio narrator.
There's a lot of "flipping open" and "snapping shut" of cell phones in 2012....
pick5⭐️
Part House of Leaves, part LOST, part Lovecraft, this story is the best kind of adventure. Strangers become friends become soldiers in a battle against evil. At a time when all the characters are trying to become a better version of themselves, they‘re given the ultimate quest.
Highly recommend this one as an audiobook.
Put this on your list for spooky reads, if not for this year then next. You will be so glad you did!
pickI picked this up on a whim, after seeing a few good reviews about it. Besides what the blurb about a weird, creepy apartment building, I had no idea what this book was about - and I‘m so glad I didn‘t. Each twist was a surprise to me, and made the book so much more enjoyable.
pickThere is something really weird about Nate‘s apartment building. I also like the Dr. Who references.
pickI'm behind in posting the books I've been devouring.
I REALLY liked this book. While I find so many plotlines predictable this one was not. I really enjoy this narrator, will definitely be a repeat listen, and, to be honest, I'll probably buy a paper copy as well.

pickThis a a really good read. Just over 24 hours, start to finish. It was simply panic room type stuff with the dull but awesome edge of Stephen King‘s creepiness then it took a Lovecraftian turn. Subtle hints at various fandoms and a cast of people you notice from an 80s cartoon with meddling kids and a dog. And even all that is nothing compared to the actual book.
My Precious!!! This is one of my favorite books and I‘m so glad I got to meet Pete and get it signed (with a special cockroach!) Awesome guy! #Elevengeddon2018
I did it! I (tentatively) arranged for Peter Clines to attend a Author Fest in Phoenix AZ that he wasn‘t initially billed for. He‘ll be in town for Comic Fest so I tweeted him if he‘d have time to attend. He tweeted back and said he‘d love to- if they‘d invite him. So I reached out to the bookstore hosting the author event (Pat King) and told him they should put Peter Clines on the bill.
A few tweets and emails later and I got them connected!🎉🎉
Great list! 14 and Red Rising! Woot!

Just finished my #horrorpost book and that makes 14 books I've read for #LitsyAtoZ!!! 12 more to go!!!
11-14-17: #novemberbythenumbers I've never read this one but it was voted best sci-fi novel of 2012 by Audible.com and it sounds creepy which is right up my alley 👍🏼📚 @JoeStalksBeck @Tiffy_Reads
#bookishpetpeeves When an amazing book is never initially printed in hardcover. Although I have seen a hardcover of WOOL it was a signed initial print and I didn't have the $80 for it. The paperbacks are just so fragile!
pickWow! I LOVED this book. It's probably not one I would have even picked up and looked at myself, but thanks to my #secretsantagoespostal Litten @Tcip I have discovered it. A thrilling read with enough twists and surprises to keep you hooked.
pickMy review below is very general because I don't want to spoil anything about the plot (it is a mystery after all). Rating an audiobook is a little tricky too - the previous book I listened to had a narrator I didn't like and that left me wondering how much of the book I may have liked more if I had read it in print.

It's the 21st here in Australia so thank you to my Secret Santa @Tcip for this fascinating book. It looks amazing, I can't wait to read it 🎅🏻🎁📘

My reading buddy has checked under the bed for monsters. Good to go! #corgireads
So I got a book delivery today which I opened because, well let's face it - when am I not expecting a book delivery, but it's not a book I ordered or a competition I entered. There was no information on the box or inside apart from an Amazon slip. It wasn't wrapped or any mention of not opening until the 21st or I would have suspected #secretsantagoespostal after seeing all the wonderful, gaily wrapped packages being sent out. It's a mystery🤔
panMy sincere apologies to all who loved this book. I hated it. The beginning was so good but the last half was laughably bad.
14 has me in its clutches. I'm dying to know just what is going on with this apartment building. 😳Lunch can wait. I'll just snack. ☕️🍇📖 #booktober
pickWhere to start. First of all this was by far one of the most engrossing books I have read in a while. I found myself trying to find any reason I could to listen to it. The banter between characters seemed natural and not forced, the mystery was so big and so intense that I had to just let it take me where it wanted to rather than try to figure it out. READ THIS BOOK NOW.m! I don't know if I can be more clear. it's that good. Listen to it at least!
Did I just miss the bus with this one?! HOW ARE MORE PEOPLE NOT TALKING ABOUT THIS?!? I am almost done and it is AMAZING. Review will be up in a few days but I'm going to go ahead and tell everyone here to get on this book.... hard.
