Awesome Kritz! I am so excited to be re-reading NOS4A2 for our Fright Club! It is really the perfect Christmas read. Nothing wrong with reading something cozy and romantic once in a while, Legends and Lattes is in my top 10 books of the year. 😀I have heard on booktube that The Island is one of Laymon's better books. I would love to get my hands on Wraith. I loved Jane Eyre as a student, has such dark, gothic vibes. Looking forward to our live show, happy reading! 📚
I missed voting for Fright Club. NOS4A2 is on my TBR though so that’s perfect. So excited for that one! I have so been wanting to read Chopping Spree. It looks amazing. And I can see why that would remind you of the holidays . Black Friday is brutal. I’ll do my Black Friday shopping online TYVM. 😂 The Fright Before Christmas looks so fun! I hadn’t heard of that one. Great list of books! ❄️🎄
Oooh I’m glad nos4a2 was on your list anyway! I saw some clips from Black Fridays in the 90s and it was insanity. Glad everything moved online. Hope you have a fantastic reading month
I'm so excited to finally get to NOS4A2. I'm glad it's the book club pick for December. The cover of Cold Snap is stunning. Yay! I'm so happy that you're planning to read A Gothic Blue Book VI: A Krampus Carol. I hope you love it as much as I did.
I prefer a pile of possibilities, too. I'm thinking of checking out The Nightmare Before Kissmas for December, it looked and sounded fun. Cold Snap sounds freaky.
“I have to find some kind of love in my heart” 😂😂😂 I was watching while getting ready for work today and that made me audibly laugh out loud 😂😂 I am here for the surprise of you enjoying romance but I’m also down for a roast of a silly lil book haha!! PS. Fright Before Christmas is a non-fiction encyclopedia of spooky Christmas folklore! Not short stories, sadly.
I read the first chapter in nightmare before kissmas, and it doesn't look like I will be able to handle it. I'll give it to page 50 though. It didn't even get to the romance bit really!
A great pile of possibilities!!! I'm definitely leaning towards Blood Games as it seems fun but also intimidated that it doesn't have audio too 😅 I wanna try to re-read NOS4A2! Awesome video, Kristine 🎉
@Kritz_Reads I think you could like that one as it's got coming of age vibes for most of the book, but the ending of it gets wild - I really like that one, haha!
I just read Nightmare Before Kissmas for a book club last month. I gave it 3.5 stars. I also have read the Mona Marple series. It’s a fun Christmas cozy- quick and easy read. I have always wanted to read Nos4a2. I think I will join you guys!
So glad you are joining us for nos4a2. I started nightmare before kissmas last night, and I don't think I can handle the cringey dialog. I'll give it to page 50 though. Happy to hear Mona Marple was a fun cozy time!
There's a subgenre of Nutcracker retelling? There's a Nutcracker play? I'm well behind on the Nutcracker industry, though I did recently see an advert featuring a hip-hop sampling of the Dance of the Plum Fairies (title is approximate)
NOS4A2 was a 5 star for me last December. I like Island, but I’m sure you won’t like it as much as I did 😂 the male mc is ridiculous and the women are wildly unrealistic. ❄️
I'm gonna go for Blood games if I have time to physically read it. Otherwise, I have traveling vampire show on audio. I really liked Savage, so it will be hard to follow that one up!
I just responded to a DM about a prince overseas that wants my hand in marriage, so I think I'll be okay money-wise. Thank you for being so concerned though!

Looks like a great pile of possibilities for the season! 🤩Hope you have an awesome December, Kristine!❄🎄
Thanks, Amy! Hope you have a great Dec as well!
Fun tbr! Happy reading 🥶❄️🎄
Thanks, you as well!
This is an awesome tbr!! Nos482 is long but it's so good!! 🎄
I love a long book when it is worth it!

yay! I'm glad you get to read nos4a2 with us! I hope our December is a lot better than Nov was!

I've heard it gives Red, White, and Royal blue vibes. I haven't read that, but I know tons of people loved it.
Interesting set of books. I do plan to read NOS4A2 as part of Fright Club
Happy to have you joining us!

I listened to 10% and I’m bowing out 😂 The humor is too ridiculous! I’m so sad because I like the premise but this is too cringe.
@@happyhauntslibrary yes!!! I’m glad it’s not just me. I was like “do people talk like this ?”
@@Kritz_Reads nope we are 10000% on the same page. It would probably translate better on the screen than text. The MC was too annoying for me

I'm going to shoot for blood games, but if I get stuck I may have to do traveling vampire show as audio. I want to end the year with a solid laymon!

So many fun picks! We love a thematic TBR. I put a hold for NOS482 audiobook at my library, would love to reread this too. Have a great month. 🎅🏽
oooh, and audiobook would be smart. Gonna see if I can get it in time. So much of my TBR is physical and I could use the help
@ it’s narrated by Kate Mulgrew who does a fantastic job!!!!

If there's one thing I love hearing is "The Book is Better", cause don't mind me I'm just on my way to buying another book. 😂
the book is almost always better! I'm always happy to encourage a book purchase though 💜
There's a subgenre of Nutcracker retelling? There's a Nutcracker play? I'm well behind on the Nutcracker industry, though I did recently see an advert featuring a hip-hop sampling of the Dance of the Plum Fairies (title is approximate)
Sadly, I went to a nutcracker production near my home several years ago that included some hiphop. They were kids though, so I didn't boo too loudly.
NOS4A2 was a 5 star for me last December. I like Island, but I’m sure you won’t like it as much as I did 😂 the male mc is ridiculous and the women are wildly unrealistic. ❄️

@ I read that Laymon had originally titled Blood Games “Daring Young Maids”. Sounds fun to me. I’m in. I liked Traveling Vampire Show as well.
