{Sunday Post} — Anti-Hero Blues, Immortal Dark, and Stinetinglers 3


What Am I Reading? 


What am I reading? That's a great question. I placed a bookmark inside Tom Clancy's Shadow State, so that'll probably be the next read.

What's in the Mailbox?


Two new ARCs arrived in the mail this past week: Anti-Hero Blues by Christopher Lee Rippee and Star Trek: Picard: No Man's Land by Kristen Beyer and Mike Johnson. Anti-Heroes Blues is for an upcoming book tour. Star Trek: Picard: No Man's Land is the "script" for an original audiobook released a year or two ago. I reviewed it somewhere on this blog and wasn't too fond of it. When it got announced, I was under the assumption that it would be a novelization of the audiobook. Still, sometime between the announcement and the printing, something must have happened—pure laziness is my idea—and the publisher published the script. Star Trek is a niche; the tie-in books are in a niche by themselves, and a script book is even more niche. What were they thinking?

I ordered Spinetinglers 3 by R.L. Stine from Amazon because the stores in my area never get any R.L. Stine books or kids' books that don't have a romantic fantasy concept.


It took some time to receive this, but the Halloween II bookmark finally arrived.

What's New on the Bookshelf?


I'm trying to stay away from the YA books, but for some reason, I bought The Extraordinary Disappointments of Leopold Berry by Ransom Riggs and Immortal Dark by Tigest Girma.


Since my last Sunday Post, I've made two thrifting trips. I got the following paperbacks on the first visit: Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke, A Party to Murder by Lionel White, Out on the Cutting Edge by Lawrence Block, Spymaster by Ladislas Farago, and Luckiest Girl Alive by Jessica Knoll.


On the second visit, I got a slew of Louis L'Amour Westerns: Hondo, Conagher, The Sixth-Shotgun, Comstock Lode, Borden Chantry, High Lonesome, Westward the Tide, Last Stand at Papago Wells, Down the Long Hills, Sackett, To Tame a LandMatagorda, Chancy, and Over on the Dry Side.


New titles on my Kindle are Star Trek (2009) by Alan Dean Foster, Duplicates by Andrew Neiderman, The Hunger and Other Stories by Charles Beaumont, In Plain Sight by Ross Coulthart, The Western Star by Craig Johnson, Wicked Stepmother by Michael McDowell and Dennis Schuetz (writing as Axel Young), The Lost City of the Monkey God by Dougals Preston, Star Trek: Cats by Jenny Parks, and The Valancourt Books of World Horror, Volume 1 edited by James D. Jenkins and Ryan Cagle.

  1. I am really liking the books you got on your first thrifting run. I haven’t thought of Arthur C Clarke in a long while. And the titles all sound intriguing!
