Read Half A King on recommendation by George R.R. Martin, who claimed it was one of the best epics ever. @joeabercrombie.com hits the mark and dents the crown on other writers heads. bloody, treacherous, and golden. On to the next book in the trilogy, great promise lies there. #BookSky 📚💙

After reading two Leviathan books (one by Sandman and the other by Beck), I went looking for more fun summer reads and look what I found!!! Can’t go wrong with CROCALYPSE💕 by @alanbaxter.bsky.social and David Wood Don’t worry, Alan, The Roo ❤️ is still my favorite! #BookSky 📚💙

Greig Beck - Leviathan💕💕💕 Beck and his gloriously well-conceived creatures!!! Good to the last bite and blast! Never lets you down! First to finish, you might not like everything that happens but the full Cate Granger trilogy is devour-some! #BookSky 📚💙

Cujo is not horror. It is a complex decision-driven tumble of escalating dramatic tragedy. Every character is vital to the execution of the heartbreakingly simple plot. Again, Cujo is not horror. It is dramatic tragedy in its purest bloodiest form. @stephenking.bsky.social #BookSky 💙📚

Dinsdale Landen as private detective Matthew Earp…2 episodes of TV show Thriller (1973-74) One of my favorites Such a fun actor to watch #ClassicTV #TVDetectives 🫆🕵🏻‍♂️📺

Painful story to read, but Dan Franklin gives pain life unerringly. His portrayal of a child in peril, driven to survive a world that is harsh and vindictive, is gripping, poignant, and shattering once all the pieces are screwed and bolted together. #SteelMachines is a beautiful book. #BookSky 💙📚

The Rise (The Gulp 3) by @alanbaxter.bsky.social #WelcomeToTheGulp And don’t forget to write if you make it out! Great series with an over-topping close that Rise-es to the occasion! #BookSky 💙📚 And yes, we’re still talking rival to #StephenKing and #RayGarton

Lord of Weird Australia is a name someone smarter than me assigned to Alan Baxter at some point in his career. The Rise-Gulp 3 supports that title. His stories evolve and devolve around themselves. They carve pieces out of the reader and paste them back together randomly . They make me smile😁, laugh🤣, and cry😢. But Alan? I still love The Roo, too. Rock on 🤘❣️

First Lily of the season Lots more on the way Thanks to #OakesDaylilies of Corryton TN I’ve loved every plant they’ve sent me! Website: oakesdaylilies.com

The Fall (The Gulp 2) by @alanbaxter.bsky.social Baxter’s Gulpepper has been compared to King’s Derry. I agree, but I would add that Baxter’s writing style recalls Ray Garton’s The Folks (1 and 2). Eerie, mind-twisting, and downright gruesome. Next: The Rise. #BookSky 💙📚 #WelcomeToTheGulp

This is Ringo. He uses that same face almost to the same result. So far, 2yrs running and expecting many more. He’s just a bit bigger. Doesn’t fit in the buggy.

My review of The Gulp by @alanbaxter.bsky.social #WelcomeToTheGulp #BookSky 📚💙 And a late happy birthday to the man himself! I’m on to the next in this series, The Fall, and looking much forward to it‼️💕

5 ⭐️s The Gulp by Alan Baxter: Alan Baxter brings us Goosebumps for adults! Didn’t everyone read those creepy young teen books by R.L. Stine? Baxter’s created an adult version that teases the senses with the right mix of vexing characters you’ll want to throttle, cringy-worthy scenes, and gory splatters. There’s an extra bit of twisted creativity tying the stories neatly together in a package called The Gulp. It’s over-the-top fun that fulfills that adult need to choke, giggle, and gag. Wondering how well Alan Baxter sleeps at night…if he sleeps.

My Review of #EvilUnderTheSun by #AgathaChristie #BookSky 📚💙 #Mysteries 🫆💋🔬🕵🏻‍♂️

Of the Poirot mysteries I’ve read so far, Evil Under The Sun burns my butt at the very end and that’s why it gets 4⭐️ instead of 5. The mystery itself is stunningly contrived by Christie. The characters are laid out like perfect little flowers, each individual carrying its own color, concept, and cleverness. If only the book ended with Chapter 13.2? But there had to be that final sweep up in 13.3, and ugh! 😣 Christie liked clean and tidy endings. I would have preferred Rosemund giving Marshall a little brow-beating for his overreaching assumption. But that’s me and in our day and age, not Christie’s.

The roses of love glad the garden of life, Though nurtured 'mid weeds dropping pestilent dew, Till time crops the leaves with unmerciful knife, Or prunes them for ever, in love's last adieu! — Lord Byron, Love’s Last Adieu #roses #flowers #gardening 🌹🪏⛲️
