I use Amazon to keep a list of what I want to read which I then look at in actual shops rather than buying them from Amazon. It's a minor act of subversion against Amazon. But I also just browse in shops and see what I like the look of. Sometimes I leave with nothing and sometimes with as much as I can carry.
I've gone for some quick and easy seasonal reads this week:
'Intercepts' byTJ Payne - a pacy horror/thriller about people who are running some sort of establishment where people who are mere shells are kept for their ability to glean intelligence by some sort of telepathy. Nonsense, but quite a good read.
'Ghost Month' by Simon Wroe. I liked the premise that the dead with unresolved issues return and just hang out for a month each year. It didn't quite live up to its promise for me - too po-faced.
'Starve Acre' by Andrew Michael Hurley. A really well done folk horror featuring an evil reincarnated hare. Lovely writing and actually, a sensitive portrait of grief, as well as the hare... What more could you ask for?
Now reading 'Ex Libris' by Anne Fadiman, a collection of essays about books and reading. I really like the way she writes. It's warm, friendly and very relatable.
