Forever Odd: An Odd Thomas Novel | 
panBringing back an author I used to read with the Odd Thomas series. This is book 2. I adored book 1, but this one was flat for me. I think this is a transition book, so I will read the next. I had difficulty buying into this story and the ghosts that populated the first were largely absent. This was a different crime to solve with another psycho, but I found it tedious.

Took me over 1.5 hours of scroll, scroll, scrolllllling on the website but I finally found my first Litsy #BookHaul post from September 2016! Over the past three years, I‘ve read only two of these books: Forever Odd & Exit Strategy 😳 This was a fun trip down memory lane. I found lots of great #LitsyMemories & I‘m thinking of making a collage 😂 Thanks @Lcsmcat for your awesome #BookHaulChallenge!
I am around 70% done with this book and I think I may like it better than the first one... am I weird for that? Haha
pickI didn‘t like this one as much as the first in the series, but still a great read. I eventually want to get through the whole series. For now, I‘m going to switch to Agatha Christie.
Because any time something good is reported, most comments say “why is this news?” 😑
Planning my life, starting a new book, and being sad that I finally remembered to bring a mug and extra water for the keurig that‘s been sitting in my office but forgot tea and k cups. 🤦🏻♀️

so-soAfter the tight, twisting narrative of the first book, this one lost me a bit. The villain was just too over the top for my taste, and fortunate, coincidental timing came into play one too many times. I did enjoy the main setting in the ruined building. I'm still not sure what to think of the ending. Debating whether I'll give the third book a shot.
bailedThis book was not offensive at any point just mediocre. The twist seemed silly and the noir feeling felt tacked on. Most of Koontz books feel forced. There seems to be no authenticity to his works instead they feel like cash grabs. Just my opinion.
#fiercefeb. These three books contain particularly #nasty villains . Oh and I found cherry blossoms
Super Bowl ... of Pretzels! 🥨🥨🥨 the only bowl I care about. I am not really enjoying this book but I‘m already halfway so I will finish. Sometimes that‘s when it gets better. The back 50%
pickI‘m getting well into Odd Thomas, he‘s a cute character that sees dead people and while it‘s probably more a YA series of books I‘m enjoying it. Especially loving the Elvis side story. Looking forward to seeing what Odd and Elvis get up too next.
Reading with 1 serving size of Milk Duds! Are you kidding me? ANYWAY the books fun and I enjoy the way Koontz writes characters.
Mostly my bed. Although I am working on getting a big reading chair.
Both. Whatever is on hand, I guess.
I usually I just keep reading until I finish, but if I have to stop it doesn't matter where.
Yes! Both, especially chocolat
Sometimes I have the TV on low
Both, depending on book
Everywhere
Silently
Yes. Sometimes I start with the ending
Breaking. Some satisfaction in it

pickYes. I am so into this series!!! It is the perfect amount of spooky where it's not scary but still enjoyable. #SCREAMATHON
Jumping into my first actual novel for #SCREAMATHON - something spooky with Odd Thomas. 👻💖 #spooky #ghosts #deankoontz
Finally decided on my books to head off #SCREAMATHON next month! Something #spooky , something #suspensful , something #supernatural and a fun #murdermystery from #coffeebeanbookclub 😍🙌 Is anyone else doing SCREAMATHON?? What are your picks?
#maybookflowers day 6 #supernaturalmysteries. Read Odd Thomas years ago. Lots of fun. 2 of the series on my shelf , need to get back to them!
My books to read the rest of January. Both are pretty good. I loved Odd Thomas and Forever Odd is proving to be an amazing sequel.
pick☠☠☠☠ While not as emotionally charged as the first book, I felt this one to be a lot more entertaining, perhaps because of the sadistic, twisted villains. I can't help but adore Oddie.
On to my next audiobook. This narrator's voice is perfect for Oddie. Wow.
so-soI loved Odd Thomas, the first book in the series, so I had high hopes for this one. Unfortunately, this one was only "meh" for me.
pickA just-as-exciting companion to the first in the series, Forever Odd has all of the wit and eerie-ness the first book held. Though Odd himself has some quite in-human abilities, I found that this book emphasized just how human he is as he has to take on his next challenge alone.
