I got very behind on reviewing books I've read. I read or re-read all of these recently. What strikes your fancy?

The Spite House, by Johnny Compton. A Black father and his two daughters are on the run; desperate, they move into a bizarre Texas spite house, where they'll be paid if they find evidence of haunting.
17 (30.9%)

Mary, by Nat Cassidy. A mousy woman hits menopause and gets some very, very strange symptoms.
23 (41.8%)

11 (20.0%)

Pet Sematary, by Stephen King. I seem to have never reviewed this, and recently listened to a great audio version.

Lilith: A Snake in the Grass, by Jack Chalker. I don't believe in book shaming so I will unashamedly say that this is a re-read.
19 (34.5%)

Suffer the Children, by Craig DiLouie. A bunch of people on Reddit said this affected them profoundly. It did not affect me profoundly. Horror with a lot of dead kids.
5 (9.1%)

Afraid to Ride, by Patricia Leitch. After a bad fall, a girl becomes afraid to ride again.
12 (21.8%)

I voted for my top choice but here are my top 3:

1. The spite house
2. Mary, which came an incredibly close second, mostly because I am afraid of menopause LOL
3. Lilith: a snake in the grass, I am intrigued by the book shaming and have also read some thrillers with snakes and have found I enjoy literary snakes even more than real ones.

ETA: I am a mouse with very little brain cells left at the end of a long day. Corrected my poll votings as I finally saw that multi-vote is okay with this one. Leaving the ranking up in case it entertains or something. ;-)
Edited (adding ETA because it has been a long day and I cannot read, apparently) Date: 2023-12-19 08:47 pm (UTC)
