Late last night, I finished reading Star Wars: Heir to the Empire by Timothy Zahn, so expect my review for it soon. Early this morning, I finished reading The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux. My review will be posted on Tuesday. Next, I'll be reading An Easy Death and A Longer Fall, which both titles are part of the of Gunnie Rose series by Charlaine Harris.

The last two weeks haven't been the best for me due to my bad allergies which I blame on the rainy weather. I wish autumn would hurry up and get here as my allergies are always better in the Fall. Anyway, I'm currently reading The Witch Port Video Game by Leonard Bassed. It's a 106-page novella with tiny lettering. I'll be reviewing it later in the month for a Book Blog Tour. Then I'll probably be reading Rosemary's Baby by Ira Levin.

I am thrilled to be hosting a spot
on the THESE DEADLY WORDS
by Nichole Heydenburg Blog Tour hosted

About the Book
What happens when the line between fiction and reality blurs?
All Camille Monroe wants is a quiet
place to work on her novel. Hoping for inspiration, she retreats to a cabin in
Asheville, with only her dog Brody as company.
Leah Strauss thought the summer after
high school graduation would be amazing, but when her boyfriend Vincent suffers
an untimely loss, her dream of the perfect summer is destroyed. Attempting to
cheer up Vincent, Leah’s twin sister Ava and her boyfriend Noah join them on a
road trip.
When a snowstorm strikes the
mountains while Leah and her friends are hiking, they struggle to find their
campsite. After becoming lost in the woods, they stumble across a cabin and
seek shelter from the storm.
As the days pass, the guests feel increasingly unsafe in the stranger’s cabin. Camille seems to know all their secrets, and she doesn’t want them to leave. Who is this dangerous writer and what does she want from them? Their biggest problem quickly becomes escaping the cabin alive.
Tropes: Snowstorm, locked room mystery, cabin in the woods, 80s book, magical/supernatural powers.
Content warnings: alcoholism,
suicide, swearing, murder.
My Review
"THESE DEADLY WORDS" is written in a creepy 80s horror film style, complete with a "cabin in the woods" location. The author does an excellent job of introducing the characters, establishing the narrative, and building tension. There's an "Evil Dead" feel here, at least with the setting, which features camping teenagers forced to seek refuge in a cabin after a snowfall. Camille, the cabin's owner, appears charming at first, but then things take a twisted turn in a Stephen King-like approach.
Everyone knows I enjoy horror, especially stories with an old-school feel, so "THESE DEADLY WORDS" was right down my lane. It's hardly a "perfect read," but there are enough surprises to keep you turning the pages. ╌★★★★✰

I haven't had very much free time to read lately due to my grandmother being in the hospital, a few personal life issues that I don't have time to discuss here, and of course getting ready for Christmas has stressed me out.
I'm planning on finishing the book His Promise by Shelley Shepard Gray today, which is a Christmas themed Amish story. I'll probably post my review on Christmas Day.
(4K Blu-ray Review)(Midnight Horror Review)(4k Blu-ray Review)(Winter Reads)
Last Monday, I had received The Predator 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, which arrived by UPS a little damaged. The discs aren't damaged, but the slipcover has a crease and a hole in it. It's no big deal to me, as I didn't purchase it. The studio has sent the movie to me to review. (Read my review here!)
I also received The Shield: The Complete Series 18-disc Blu-ray set from Mill Creek Entertainment. It's one of the best television series releases I have ever seen. I'll be posting my review for it sometime today.

Here's a little fun fact for everyone: I used to be a Trekker! I grew up watching reruns of the original series, The Next Generation, and Deep Space Nine. Then I quickly left the franchise right after the campy Voyager series debuted in the mid-1990s. While I would no longer consider myself a Trekker by any means, I do occasionally watch an episode or two of the old series on Netflix. This year, I've found myself in a Star Trek mood after watching the first season of Star Trek: Discovery (I don't recommend it to anyone!), which resulted in me buying a few $.99 old Star Trek tie-in eBook. As you can see from the photo above I'm going to be reading Star Trek: The Captain's Oath by Christopher L. Bennett, which I'd received a review copy from Gallery Books just a few days ago. Pockets Books used to publish the Star Trek books, but this year Gallery Books took over the franchise. "The Captain's Oath" looks like a fun read.
Next, I'm planning on reading The Son by Philip Meyer, which is a title I'd mentioned about in last week's post. Originally, I wanted to read it at the end of last week, but I ended up reading an eBook instead.

How did my reading go last week? To tell you the truth - not very good. Did I finish reading IT? Nope!
However, I did read a few pages over the weekend and I'm now on page 535. As you can probably tell, I'm in no hurry to read IT. It's not like I have a review deadline for it, though I would like to post a review sometime during the first week of September.
Additionally, I did listen to an audiobook Wake the Dead by Stacey Rourke yesterday afternoon.
I'll be reviewing it sometime this week. Maybe even today! My reading agenda for this week is to once again finish reading IT. Plus, I'll be listening to the audiobook The Unlucky Ones by Stacey Marie Brown.

Nearly two weeks ago, I received the novella The Witch Port Video Game by Leonard Bassed. I will be reviewing the title in September for a book tour. On the exact same day, I received The Inn by James Patterson & Candice Fox. Now the latter isn't for review purposes as I had pre-ordered a few days prior to its release. However, whenever I get around to reading it, I'll most likely post a review for it.
