Got a litte ways into this and just lost interest. Not sure if I even finished it.

Really enjoyed this. I like the genre of rewriting myths with a modern interpretation and this book is a great example of that. Well-written, thoughtful, and very readable.

This book is really good. Teriffically written, engrossing and chilling at the same time. The foreboding that runs through this book is just perfect.

It's getting better as it goes and I get more familiar with the world of this book.

So far this book is good and I want to get into it, but I've just had so little time to read lately. Making a goal to finish this by Halloween.

A bit slow getting into this one so far, but that's more me than the book. I like that it's a tale of ancient gods but the language thus far is modern. Hope I can get some good reading time for this one soon.

Not sure if I can handle starting another series where I have to learn all the characters and nuances of a completely new world, but I'll give it a shot.

The Hard Case Crime books haven't disappointed me yet and this one is off to a good start.

A few pages into this and I realize I've read this book before, but I don't remember what happens. That's one of the reasons I got on goodreads, to prevent unknowing repeats. Oh well, I'm already on the ride. I'll keep on going.

Just got this one in the mail today and it went to the top of the pile.

It's getting good. Winslow excels at crime world-building.

Been having difficulty getting into the books I've started lately, but this one is an exception. It's a slow burner but it's definitely burning...

I've reached the point with this book where I'm trying to finish it not to get to the end of the story, but so I can move on to my next book. Can't quite explain why yet, but this book just isn't grabbing me.

I didn't know when I started reading the first book in this series that it was a "YA" book as is this one, and ya know what? It doesn't matter. These books are just good, and fun. The writing seems so effortless.

As any horror aficionado knows, the true horrors are humans and their relations with each other. This book is hitting home with the portraits of a normal dysfunctional family.

Good book so far, if a little bit slow. The excerpts from the fictional comic definitely kick it up a notch.

Oh man, this book is brutal. Infused with grief, anger, and it feels real. It already has its hooks in me.

This book has the same protagonist I've read so many times. This guy:
1.Military brass called him out of isolation because he's the only guy who can lead a crew to fix a McGuffin
2. He's in isolation because of something he did in Iraq that looks bad on paper
3. His wife left him because of it and her new husband is on his team
4. A hot woman his same age is on the team and he learns to let go an love her.
Ugh.

This is really good so far. An easy read that fills in a bunch of the gaps I have in Greek mythology.

This is another marathon of a read from King. Trying to get through it because I now have (at least) seven books in my TBR pile. It takes a weird turn right in the middle and becomes a different book, and I hope it gets back to what it was.

A lot of buildup and stories-within-stories here, as per the usual Stephen King. Waiting for some higher stakes stuff.

The seeds have been planted (in keeping with the theme so far of this book) and now they're about to grow. I like it so far, and it looks like it will get better.

Steven King in top form. The start is very similar to "Mr. Harrigan's Phone" but I'm sure it will take off from there. King is excellent at doing stories within stories within stories and making them authentic.
