In this video, I explain while I am glad I tried Dewey’s 24-hour Read-a-thon, I realized reading like that just isn’t for me and I review the three books I read that Saturday.
The House of Small Shadows by Adam Nevill, a very British horror novel. Slightly slow paced, but beautiful details. 5 stars.
I am Providence by Nick Mamatas A great Lovecraftian Murder Mystery and a satire of the convention scene and fandom at large. 4 stars
The Edgar Allan Poe Collection Audio Book read by Vincent Price and Basil Rathbone 5 stars

I was thinking about you and all those books you showed off. It just seemed like a headache to speed read that fast. It was good to try a new thing.

Yeah. The biggest feeling is one of “There’s other ways I’d like to spend my Saturday.” And I enjoy reading! And though I read quickly, and didn’t read anything faster or slower, I also felt I didn’t have time to experience the novel as deeply and couldn’t remember details. Doing the reviews were actually pretty hard this week. 🙂
