Wordy Words on WordsYou know what? Let’s go back to the beginning. To Fear Street #1.<br>
<br>
I keep getting thrown with the Columbo/Law & Order: CI openings where a crime is committed by SOMEONE and then the story actually starts, but it’s fine. I like Columbo and I LOVED CI.<br>
<br>
I will say that a common critique you’re going to hear from me is a plot driven by poor communication. It’s a pet peeve of mine and just lazy writing. It’s also all OVER the Fear Street series.<br>
<br>
Anyway, this book centers around a kid in high school who falls in love with the new girl, Anna. It IS a little strange that none of his friends know who she is, has her in their classes, and everyone that DOES know Anna insists that Anna…<br>
<br>
Is dead.<br>
<br>
I looked this up on Wikipedia to make sure I remembered the plot since I read this a couple years ago and it says that the boyfriend was convinced she was alive with her “human-like kisses.”<br>
<br>
I literally laughed out loud.<br>
<br>
Anyway, it turns out “Anna” isn’t Anna at ALL and she’s actually WILLA, Anna’s sister who killed Anna out of jealousy and assumed her identity. There’s a brother, Brad, and he plays a pretty important role. He shoved a girl down some stairs and I think he even killed a cat to stuff in a locker as a warning, but I don’t care about him.<br>
<br>
My mind got snagged HARD on the idea that a teenage girl killed her teenage girl sister and just ADOPTED her personality. Where were her parents? Where was Brad? Why had nobody heard of Anna? Why is Willa going to school?<br>
<br>
I just think that if you’re going to murder a sibling and assume their identity, high school years are the WORST years to do it.<br>
<br>
That said, it was fun to re-read and still way better than Goosebumps.<br>
<br>
I’m excited for the next one.<br>

Wordy Words on WordsIt’s fine.<br>
<br>
It’s actually got a pretty decent story to it where a local haunted house, Hill House (not to be confused with THE Hill House), is constantly toured by two little pranksters. The tour guide tells the tale of how the house was built by a seaman who led this side there and, after he never came back, she ran away. Then his ghost appeared, roaming the halls with a light looking for her.<br>
<br>
Pretty cool.<br>
<br>
Then a boy accidentally finds where the ghost is hiding (ghosts just hide places. What did you think they did? DISAPPEAR?) and told him now HE can’t leave, rips the kid’s head off (not gory, he just REMOVES the head like a toy crash test dummy) and hides it.<br>
<br>
Then the seaman leaves.<br>
<br>
Which is hilarious.<br>
<br>
Anyway, is the ghost of the kid roams the house.<br>
<br>
A new kid tells them he’s seen the ghosts and convinces them to join him there at night where he confesses that he is the headless ghost. He’s been borrowing this head (as one does) and needs to return it, which is just good manners. But now he wants the boy prankster’s head!<br>
<br>
The kids flee, stumble into hidden rooms or whatever and find the ACTUAL head. Then the ghost appears, reunited with the head, and fades away.<br>
<br>
Weird that the headless ghost wasn’t just hiding somewhere.<br>
<br>
Anyway, turns out this new kid is the tour guide’s nephew and they all leave.<br>
<br>
Decent story.<br>
<br>
But then Stine fucked it up because he just COULD NOT resist.<br>
<br>
WEEKS go by and the kids take one last tour only to find cops waiting for them outside asking what they were doing. They said taking the tour.<br>
<br>
“But it went out of business MONTHS ago. You must have been getting tours from ghosts!”<br>
<br>
And, sure enough, the tour guide and his wife are in the window, ghosts.<br>
<br>
Pretty sure those chunks of time need to be reversed to make any sense since other people were on these tours.<br>
<br>
Or he could have just stopped when it made sense!<br>

Taylor Drew<p>I managed to pull myself away from organizing my whole entire music library long enough to write my monthly <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/ReadingLog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReadingLog</span></a>!

Taylor Drew<p>Managed to write my December reading log using my mother's laptop instead of waiting until I'm back in Tokyo next week, which is great. It was a bit of a weird month because I had to prepare to come to Canada and be here, but there were some real gems. And as always, I can't say no to more Murderbot!</p><p><a href="https://taylordrew.me/december-2024-reads/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">taylordrew.me/december-2024-re</span><span class="invisible">ads/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/ReadingLog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReadingLog</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a></p>
Taylor Drew :tokyo:<p>Spent my morning typing up my <a href="https://famichiki.jp/tags/ReadingLog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReadingLog</span></a> for November. I personally had a generally not great month, but a bunch of mostly stunning books basically made up for it. November ended up being a month of queer love and SFF for the most part, often both at the same time, and I'm very here for that trend.</p><p><a href="https://taylordrew.me/november-2024-reads/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">taylordrew.me/november-2024-re</span><span class="invisible">ads/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://famichiki.jp/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://famichiki.jp/tags/reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>reading</span></a> <a href="https://famichiki.jp/tags/AmReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmReading</span></a></p>
Jesse Skinner<p>Picked up Blue Skies by T. C. Boyle today, about Floridians in the future adapting to "the "new normal" in which once-in-a-lifetime natural disasters happen once a week."

Jesse Skinner<p>Just finished Neuromancer, my first time reading William Gibson. Difficult but worth it. Wow. Amazing and prophetic, so many things written in 1984 that have become relatable today. The world he creates is so massive and complex. Curious about the sequels, but I think I'll read something lighter in the interim.</p><p><a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>reading</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/readinglog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>readinglog</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/gibson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gibson</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/neuromancer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neuromancer</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/cyberpunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cyberpunk</span></a></p>
Taylor Drew :tokyo:<p>Well, it took approximately an hour longer than I thought it would, but my first attempt at a reading log is finally done and up on my blog! Even though there aren't comments there, I hope posting these can help create some more dialogue between me and other readers!</p><p>I think the format could use a little more work, especially since I hope I'll be able to post the occasional review at some point, but for now, this is enough.</p><p><a href="https://taylordrew.me/september-2024-reads/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">taylordrew.me/september-2024-r</span><span class="invisible">eads/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://famichiki.jp/tags/ReadingLog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReadingLog</span></a> <a href="https://famichiki.jp/tags/ReadingWrapUp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReadingWrapUp</span></a></p>
