We each open a gift on Little Christmas Eve (today), tradition husband brought from Norway. This book is from my husband. One of only 1250 copies from first American edition in 1978, signed by the author and the artist. Husband just rocks!!
pickThis book has everything from magic, epic battles and the hottest love! Absolutely loved this one!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickOur favorite monsters on a spaceship in the future. The AI on the ship, Demeter saves the day. Weirdly good and I loved it. Not for everyone unless you love to read something new. Dracula, the Werewolf, Frankenstein, the mummy all make appearances. 🧛🧛🧛🧛
pickI read this for Cult Classics book club, and honestly I might not have finished it otherwise. Set in a Swedish suburb in the 1980s, the story follows Oskar, a relentlessly bullied 12-year-old, and Eli, his mysterious new neighbor who also happens to be a vampire. Vampires I can handle, but Eli's human companion is a pedophile and everything involving that man was stomach-churning, as was Eli's origin story. Apart from that, it was very good.
so-soThis novel is not as strong as the author's other two novels, but I still found plenty of things to like. The setting is always so interesting to read about in these, and the relationships between the FMC and MMC are always fun to follow and have complex dynamics.
I wish the vampires were a bit more developed, and them apeparing more, for a book about them, they don't appear much to their detriment.
pickIf you love a story with a good meet-cute, a creepy vibe, and some tough family dynamics, Night‘s Edge by Liz Kerin might be right up your alley!
