Hey there, I am curious what everyone is reading and how you are feeling with it. I started demon copperhead yesterday, made it about 70 pages in and decided to read the first book in the chthulu CaseBooks. It's a kinda retelling of Sherlock Holmes but with a Lovecraft quist.

I am digging it so far, about 50% through and it's a fun ride.

So what are you all reading?

How is the SH and the Shadwell Shadows? I've had that series on my to-read list for a while but haven't touched them.

I went down a deep horror fantasy rabbit hole and I just came out of it. Now I am jumping back into discworld with Terry Pratchett for a while. I just finished The Fifth Elephant and I'm going to try to finish the watch series in the next couple weeks. I might sprinkle a few short stories in there for palette cleansers haha. Pratchett is always my favorite author to come back to after I do a deep dive on a different genre or author. It's like a warm blanket that makes me giggle.

I think of I was either a bigger Sherlock fan, or a bigger Lovecraft fan it would have been better. I feel like there were a lot of references I just didn't understand. I probably won't continue the series. But it was a fun quick read.

Well, I am neither a huge Sherlock or Lovecraft aficionado, so I'll put these books on the backburner. Thanks!
