Feeling reanimated

The end of September was swallowed by a sinus infection that knocked me on my ass for all of the last week and the first few days of October. ‘Tis the season it seems, as the folks around the library have been in and out due to different bugs. I masked, slept a lot, and took sick time which helped, John didn’t get sick thankfully and I’m pretty much back to normal now. Well, as normal as I ever was.

While I was resting, I blew through a stack of Christopher Pike books I bought from a used book sale a while ago. One book, Witch, was an old favourite I used to have and stupidly purged back in the mistake-filled book purge of 2018-2019. Witch was fun to revisit and review through adult eyes.

Most of the other books were ones I had not read before and boy, what a trip it was. I still like Pike for his weird twists, bizarre spiritualism, and the fact he wasn’t afraid to have the young adults & teens in his books behave “badly” but boy, some of it is pretty dated.

A bit late but here's my September book summary:
