This book almost tries too hard. I don't mind the effort though. It's keeping me entertained.

This book is weird but entertaining. I think I like it.

Zany radical 90s book

It's a bit preachy, awkwardly written in places, but I like the family relationships.

I learned two words:

Weft- often referred to in "warp and weft" , the horizontal and vertical lines in weaving. I think.

Stewbum- a drunk bum, often a vagrant. Going to use that one on my friends.

Enjoyability: mid tier pike so far, could go either way for the second half of the book. Feels like a long setup, so that's promising.

it's okay

Collection of short stories geared towards men at that time (late 60s/70s), non-sexual, guessing they were featured in the magazine.

I learned a new word-

Tulle (noun) [tjuːl] : a soft, fine silk, cotton, or nylon material like net, used for making veils and dresses.

This book is... holding my attention.

So far so interesting. It's my first book from Lois Duncan. It's got an edge to it, which I appreciate in these books. They're building to something early on and interested to find out what. Hoping it gets dark.

My book is weird in that there is a lot of text crammed on each page. Could have been laid out better. My fingers are getting in the way lol- weird problem.

I thought this was going to be horror, and light. Instead it's not, it's HEAVY too. ;_[

I didn't like the psychic twins, Jamie and Amy, in the first book, so we'll see how far I get in this one. I also am not big into vampires. What's with the early 90s trend of Revolutionary War ghosts??

This book flows smoothly, quickly. It's a bit up it's own a$$ though. Not surprised the author created study guides for schools to go with it.
The encounters the main character has are interesting. Pulls on the nostalgia strings.
There's some odd brow-beating about moralism happening in places though. Could do without it. They shoehorn in some American Revolution stuff too. My friend had to read this for school.

This is a really good book. Diverse, inventive, stories that aren't afraid to push things. Can't wait to read more by the author.

I'm liking this anthology series so far. It is quite brutal for the target audience. Refreshing. I will read the others.

I like this. The stories are only like 10 pages long, but enough for engagement. Some freaky stuff.

Some of these are pretty good! I passed up on Double Dare to be Scared at the weekend - I may go back for it.

This book is a mystery-with-psychic-powers type story. I'm liking it medium so far. Maybe it will get better.

I hit my reading goal challenge for the year - first time I've read more than 15 books in my life... with time to spare!
