Forgot how much I do not like this book.

chanting "i'm not the target audience i'm not the target audience i'm not the target audience" again and again and again--tho as a librarian I SORT OF AM??

this would be a great nature and science museum. i maintain it would be a terrible library.

I bet lawyers feel the same way about the ace attorney series that i feel about books about libraries

yes i am a killjoy

Page 71, not 71 percent, haha, I switched back to the text to see if I can just plow through it faster. Debatable.

"cheezus peezus" -- this is award winning, isn't it? stars save me, i'm reading this for a coworker but maaan.

Giving the audiobook a try, it sort of helps with the stilted dialogue but it still doesn't feel right. This might be a case where the movie fixed the not very good book.

I'm glad they had new math in 1971 too. Circle and circle and circle.

I really don't care for how this is written, it's Exceedingly choppy.

Chris has the worst inner monologue, I haven't run into a character that's felt so Written By An Author in ages. Feels so stilted; I've enjoyed better fanfiction, oops.

I do declare, when I began this book I didn't anticipate ending up on the field of battle.

You missed the opportunity for an And There Was Only One Bed joke!!! Two separate rooms?? Come on, man, the joke was primed.

What a tweest!

so, she's going to die of frostbite, right

I don't necessarily want to keep DNF'ing books, but I'm dancing on the edge of this book slump, just Starting to rise out of it, and reading something that feels boring isn't exactly helpful right now.

My coworker has learned that I don't mind horror of any stripe, and he is Very Excited for me to read this so he can finally talk about it with someone.

Well, it is October. Let'sago.

Honestly, I thought Kemmerer was an instant always favorite author, but this one feels so light on plot, and when I'm just trying to rouse out of a book slump I feel like I need more concrete things to keep me going.

At this point I think a random dog that’s been stuffed into a suitcase in cargo should rear up on his hind legs, smoke a pipe that just appeared in his paws, say “No, I am the 4th killer!!” And launch himself at Anna, a diamond encrusted tin of sardines in his other paw as he goes for the kill.

Well, that would do it.

GOOD FOR YOU MURIEL.

love when they forget to remove an audiobook blooper--she read the same line twice with two inflections but forgot to come back to delete one. <3

Eldritch horror trying to be a comedian about a three course meal...that is, three humans. What a fascinating book. impossible to recommend to anyone, I'm AMAZED the coworker I've known for all of three days recommended this one to me. What a time.

"I ate a jester once. He tasted funny."

i'm going to scream

"the abomination eating his coworkers" cackling

Nothing like enjoying a book in headphones you probably Shouldn't be listening to at work, haaaa. ^^;;

Shape of Water but with Way More Blood.

I would like Avalon to eat the billionaire. I hope that's in the cards.

Real excited for Avalon to finally start picking off these jerks like candy. Gleefully looking forward to it. Let's goooo.
