Another hit from Mr. McDonnell!! I think I actually enjoyed this one a teensy bit more than the first book, so now I‘m really excited to read the third book!! 🤩👍

Taking a break from Christmas books to read about vampires 🧛‍♂️🩸⚰️

Prior to this, I picked up a short story collection of Golden Age mysteries that were Christmas themed. And after reading a few of them, maybe it‘s best to just leave some things in the past 😶‍🌫️

Set in the office of a “Weekly World News“ sort of paper, this series is so fun, especially in audio. The narrator uses dozens of distinct British accents for the huge cast, and also does full justice to the humor. It's a bit like a paranormal, British Donald Westlake. Also, although creepy/sometimes horrific things are happening, it's overall a cozy sort of story -- the oddball main cast always manage to protect each other, if not everyone else

Another stellar entry in the series. While I'm gleeful to continue on to see how various characters develop further in the next book, I'm also relieved to have certain answers and see certain arcs completed in this one.
As I've come to expect, there are bonkers happenings, heartbreakingly human moments, and some damn creepy shit. 1/?

Discworld cameo? 🦆

We live in hope! 🙏🏻

I‘m loving the second in the The Stranger Times series on audio. This time around the gang at the paper is dealing with vampires, which definitely DON‘T exist!
Brendan McDonald is delightful and hilarious as ever as the narrator. It‘s hard to believe that someone could come up with as many distinct voices for so many characters as he does.

Next non fiction read . . . Hopefully won't take me a year to finish this time.
