I ?? this murder mystery! If it wasn’t so long I would read it over and over again! For those who haven’t read it yet read it!

I read this book because it was a July Indie Next pick and GMA’s book club pick. I listened to the audiobook via Libby and was surprised by the English-accented narration by actress Lucy Boynton (though in retrospect I shouldn’t because of the author’s Irish origin). This book definitely felt like Survivor with more coupling and more cutthroat consequences. I couldn’t look away from the competition of it all and my interest was maintained up until the couple switching. The book had a bit of a lull but finished with what seemed to be an explosion of the seven deadly sins. This was an interesting book that would be good to discuss but also one I’m unlikely to reread.

The Deadlands: Survival is a book about adventure, heroism, and finding a place to belong. I enjoyed reading this book because I like dinosaurs and it had an interesting concept. The author knows a lot about dinosaurs, a little bit more than I know about dinosaurs. Just the tiniest bit more. The start of the book was so good that I really wanted to keep reading and barely put it down. I would recommend The Deadlands series to people who like dinosaurs and adventure.

For readers who have met New York author (and eventual resident of Maine) Lucy Barton in Strout’s other books, this is an interesting deep dive into her life. It focuses on a period in. Barton’s life where her children were young and she is in the hospital for nine weeks with a severe infection following routine surgery. Not sure if I would have enjoyed this story if I hadn’t read about Barton in Strout’s other books.

This is my favorite book. It is the best book in the whole world. We read it every night.

Wow, this is some good horror stuff right here, yes absolutely more of this. Really enjoying the "deviancy" angle--homosexuality and violence as deviancy and how those overlap in a world so violent to LGBT individuals, also I thought this was going to be so corny because of the "killer santa" trope but I know nothing evidently, can't wait for the next issues.

Sosososo awesome. it held my attention the whole time through and had many unpredictable points. IT IS AWSOMESAUCE

This book is really entertaining and good!!!

It was a cool sneak peak at the end of the Captain Underpants book and it was in comic style and so cool because I just saw the movie recently. Now I want to read the full Dog Man book.

I absolutely loved this book it’s extremely funny and very enthralling I read the whole series in one week
