Wayward by Chuck Wendig is the sequel to his book, Wanderers. "It's been five years since the Flock and Shepherds landed in Ouray. The walkers are awake now and working to build a new community. Because America is a broken wasteland and there are many groups that only want whatever power they can get. Black Swan has a plan to save civilization but several of the survivors are unsure and wonder why it feels like the AI has become even more unstable. They only know they'll have to band together to beat it." This is a long book. Be prepared to spend a few days with it. There are several storylines going but Wendig makes it easy to keep up by minimizing the number of characters that drive the story. This is a sequel but you are better off reading the first book to understand the story. There are some wild characters. My favorite is "Rock God Pete Corley" His last performance is explosive. There are elements of sci-fi and horror. Wendig has some interesting observations about society. Another good story from Wendig.

#HorrorMovie: YOU MIGHT BE THE KILLER (2018) — When summer camp councilors begin getting picked off one by one by a brutally violent killer, head councilor Sam calls his horror-movie obsessed friend Chuck for advice on how to survive the night, only to make an unsettling discovery in the process. The concept is silly, but like the twitter thread between authors Sam Sykes and Chuck Wendig that inspired it, this joyfully campy and meta, playing with tropes of the genre for fun, gory affect. #youmightbethekiller #horror #horrorflick #scarymovie #metahorror #campy #horrorcomedy #horrorreview #horrorfan #horrorchick #chuckwendig #samsykes #horrorfilm #shudder #shudderexclusive https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs7Ta9gFNkm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ix1n52wyiukn

Yesterday was my hometown library book sale at which I got far too many books and I have no idea where any of them are supposed to go. That hasn’t changed my mind about wanting to read them all #books #bookstagram #booksale #library #fiction #nonfiction #poetry #mythology #greekmythology #mystery #englishhistory #historicanfiction #timetravel #elizabethanpoetry #elizabethanpoets #thomasrmartin #chuckwendig #susansontag #daisygoodwin #katemoore #ruthware #emmadonague #esieduyan #cokieroberts #stephaniedray #laurakamoie #dianagabaldon (at Monterey, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgsFviXutGk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hello hello! 👋🏻 Do you have a May TBR?📚🤔 . My May TBR is completely full, and since I’m a mood reader most of these won’t get read. Anywho! Here is what I’m hoping to read this month (in physical copies): The Unexpected Everything by Morgan Matson, A Gathering of Shadows by V.E. Schwab, A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J. Maas, Second Chance Summer by Morgan Matson, Under the Empyrean Sky by Chuck Wendig, and finally, The Demon King by Cinda Williams Chima. . Phew! 😅 that seems like a lot of books for me. What one should I read first?! . . . #theunexpectedeverything #secondchancesummer #morganmatson #acourtoffrostandstarlight #sarahjmaas #agatheringofshadows #veschwab #undertheempyreansky #chuckwendig #thedemonking #cindawilliamschima #maytbr #tbrlist #bookstagram #bookphotography #books #prettybookcovers #fakeflowers #davidsteamug #funkopop #funkopopkeychain #catcalendar

Do you ever step outside your comfort zone? With books? . When I first read the description of The Book of Accidents by Chuck Wendig, I thought: horror & paranormal- this book is going to be too scary for me - way outside of my comfort zone. But I’ve loved other books by the author, so I decided to take a chance. I can always close it and not pick it back up, right? Just trap those ghosts right between the covers to never haunt me again. . And, boy I’m glad to pick it up because what I found when I did is this perfect blend of SciFy, paranormal, thriller, and horror that kept me in awe from page 1 until the end. A definite five-star read for me and not at all too scary 👻.

Are you daunted by big books? #chuckwendig #wanderers #bigbooks #chonkersofinstagram #chonkerreads #books #weekend #whatimreading #mybooks #ilikebigbooksandicannotlie

Currently Reading & Listening The Wanderers by Chuck Wendig This chonker of a book has glared at me from my bookcase each night as I lay in bed. Why was I intimidated by its size? I decided to conquer my fear and I broke it down into 50-page bunches and tagged them all. Now I’m reading it alongside other books. The writing is exquisite and the pace of the book is much slower than I…

The Book of Accidents is the new book from Chuck Wendig. "Nate and Maddie are moving back to his hometown - into the house he grew up in with an abusive father. They're hoping for a better life for themselves and for their son, Oliver. Nate doesn't talk much about the things that happened there - especially about the Murder Tunnel. A place where people disappeared - where a serial killer abducted his first victim - where people see odd things. The wall between good and evil is thinner there..." Lots of charcters and lots of moving pieces here, but Wendig makes it easy to keep up with the relatively short chapters and the helpful Chapter Titles. There is evil here that wants chaos and bloodshed. But there are others who want to pull their family close. There is a serial killer that thinks he's on a mission. There are multiple versions of the world. And a kid that looks very familiar that wants all of the worlds to crash together into chaos. Wendig builds and builds this story to a wild ending and even leaves part a little open-ended. Another great read from Wendig.

Princess Ella and the Veil

Princess Ella stepped out of the carriage and took a long, deep breath. This was not going to be easy.

“Shall I wait here, Your Highness?” the driver asked.

“Yes,” the woman answered. “I shan’t be long.”

Did she have everything? The basket of food and blankets? Yes, she had picked it up.

A servant, an elderly woman, answered the knock. Even though it was small house, and Constanza was no longer a wealthy young girl, she would always have one servant, even if she had to starve to pay the salary.

“Wait here. Lady Costanza is in the garden and will come in shortly.” The servant gazed for a few moments at Ella, a curious look on her face, then dismissed the look and went out of the room.

A cracked mirror hung on the wall and Ella faced it. Still beautiful, she thought, with the same blue eyes, just ten years older, probably not much wiser. She adjusted the veil and made sure the pins were holding tight. Sometimes a heavy breeze would push it out of place.

The servant returned.

“Lady Costanza would like to know if you will join her for tea,” the old woman said.

In the back of the small house, a door shut and she could hear irregular shuffling on the slate floor.

Ella nodded. “I brought some things.” She held out the basket.

 **

“Well, look who it is,” Lady Costanza called out from the back porch. She was standing with the help of her crutch. Costanza, ten years after Ella’s wedding. She looked so much older now.

“Hello, sister,” Ella said. “I thought you might appreciate a visit, and I’ve brought you pastries and cured meats.”

“Humph,” said Costanza. “It’s been 10 years, but I suppose better late than never. We’ll have your gift with the tea. Good thing too, as my larder is bare this week.”

**

It was an awkward picture, the two sisters sitting together in the small house, the tea things arranged and some humble sandwiches.

“How is Prudence?” Ella inquired.

“Our sister has been dead these last 4 years,” Costanza replied. “The pies are very good. My compliments to the royal chef.”

There was a silence in the room thick as pea soup.

Ella sipped her tea, looked at her older sister. Her hair had turned completely gray, her skin was leathery from decades working in the sun, her clothes neat and mended but plain. And the stump, yes, there was that. The eyes that were once so cruel seemed not so cruel, but sadder, and still angry. And why not, with such a betrayal?

“Your voice sounds different,” Costanza observed.

Ella nodded, then gracefully lifted up the veil slightly to sip tea.

“You don’t need that veil here,” the older sister said. “Is that something His Highness commanded of you?”

Ella shook her head, cast her eyes down. “I wear this veil of my own volition.”

**

Costanza took her sister out to the garden and showed her Prudence’s burial place. A tree was growing out of the grave. The garden was lush and full and well-tended and fragrant. It seemed that the beauty not given to the two sisters expressed itself in the plants.

“Prudence did not love him like I did,” Costanza said. “She just wanted his money, and comfort, and a name.”

Ella nodded. “I am sorry things turned out this way.”

Costanza faced the beautiful woman, her sister, her betrayer. “You have wealth and a pretty palace and children to make you feel better, I suppose.”

Ella looked up, the veil shifting lightly in the breeze. “I have everything, yes,” she whispered. Her eyes, seen above the veil, were red and full.

“You have given so much,” Ella said.

Costanza laughed. “Foolish girl I was,” Costanza said. “Actually believing the Prince would do what he promised. All I had to do was cut off a few toes, so the shoe would fit. He would take me as his wife and we would live happily ever after. But he didn’t care about promises. He dropped everything because you were more beautiful. What a fool I was!”

“It was all my fault,” Ella said. “You are lame because of me.” She dropped her pretty head. The veil wafted in the breeze.

Ella looked up at her sister. “I betrayed you both. Now you are lame, and Prudence is dead. Well – I am here to give you your revenge.”

Costanza watched as Ella’s small hands picked up the veil and revealed her face. Costanza’s eyes widened and she took a step back as she stared at Ella’s face: her nose was partially gone, revealing a skull-like grimace.

“Yes,” Ella said. “He fooled us all. You sacrificed your foot for him – behold what I have sacrificed! He quickly grew bored with me – and now I bear the foul disease he picked up from his whoring! Cursed I am, cursed forever, I shall live another few years like this, and then I will go mad and die!”

Costanza, stunned, took her sister in her arms. “We are all cursed because of that man,” she said. “My sister, you have been punished for your betrayal, but I see now it is not your fault. Come, sit with me and let us put together a plan for true revenge!”

But that is another story.
