Last night was the Bram Stoker Awards. Since StokerCon has been postponed, the awards were all virtual over YouTube. I was able to watch over Skype with some of my Ladies of Horror Fiction friends. The women kicked ass again this year in the Stokers.
Be sure to check out the winners.
Today is birthday day for my now 11 year old. There will be much needed cupcakes today.

How fun that you were able to catch the awards with some friends. The good things about tech! I hope you all enjoyed the cupcakes, and that your child felt celebrated. It's tough having a birthday in quarantine.
ReplyDeleteI've heard really good things about The Fisherman, but I haven't bought a copy yet. I'm curious to see what you think of it😁
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your 11 year old. Enjoy all the cupcakes.
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky you got The Girl and the Star!!!!
ReplyDeleteI've seen good reviews for The Book of Koli. I have The Girl and the Stars to read and I plan to get The Guest List (hopefully on audio).
ReplyDeleteStay safe and have a great week! Happy reading!
Anne - Books of My Heart Here is my Sunday Post
I've never heard of the Stoker Awards but I love the name!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your kiddo! Quarantine birthdays must be tough for everyone but I hope it's still an awesome day.
What a great haul! I'm off to check out those winners!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and happy reading!
The Stokers sound nice. I'll have to go look at the list of winners. And happy birthday to your 11 year old! Hope it was an awesome day. I love the look of the Lumberjanes- i've only read the first one but it was fun. :)
ReplyDeleteOoh The War of the Worlds looks awesome- I just started the new adaptation on Amazon PRime (only one episode in but so far seems okay).
That's nice that you were able to watch the awards with friends over Skype! It's so important right now to stay connected any way we can.
ReplyDeleteI read and enjoyed The Night Swim. It's a little deeper than I was expecting, in a good way.
I have The Night Swim on my NetGalley stack...hope to love it. Enjoy your reading, and stay safe and well. Here are my WEEKLY UPDATES
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your kid :)
ReplyDeleteYour new books look interesting
Wishing you a great reading week and good health
I know a number of people are missing book conventions. I watched Baen Books roadshow last night which gave me lots of new science fiction books to look for. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI need to check out the winner's and put some on my TBR. I really hope you love The Guest List. I thought it was awesome. And such a quick thriller. The Lumberjanes always make me smile!
ReplyDeleteI just now finished up the Stoker awards. They were so short but they did a good job considering the circumstances. I've never read Lumberjanes. Still haven't finished Saga yet. Maybe I should do that next.
ReplyDeleteHope the cupcakes were thoroughly enjoyed. Comics sound perfect for these times when reading seems to have challenged many of us. Take care.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to the 11-year-old. I hope you’re having a good week!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I think my daughter and I both need to read Girls Save the World in This One. Sounds excellent :) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy all your latest books - I've read a couple off there and enjoyed them. And hope your 11 year old has a lovely birthday - cupcakes always help with that of course, nom.
