Monsterathon Frankenbook Challenge

 

.

So Cait created a challenge where you can win free books and also earn extra terrorizing villagers points.  It sounded fun and I will link all the details HERE.  Basically you have someone pick numbers and then you create one book using 7.  I used my Goodreads "read" shelves for 2020, 2019 and 2018 and had Stormi pick numbers for me.  Let's see how this goes!

Here are the books:

HEAD - This is the MC of the book and it turns out to be Atomic Frenchie.

BODY - Basically the plot of the book.  Using When Summer Comes Around it's the 80's and Atomic Frenchie is a teen who falls in love with a girl knowing there's something odd about her - hint: she's a vampire.

ARMS - Take two books and these are Atomic Frenchie's side characters.  He is teaming up with MEG, the shark and AK4& from When We Were Vikings.

LEG - Motivation.  Based on Iron Magic, Atomic Frenchie is motivated to find a safe place for his "soldiers," the Iron Dogs.

LEG - The bad guy trying to stop Atomic Frenchie is Raymond from The Homecoming.

And finally CLOTHES or aka the cover of the book.  My book is called Gun Love.

Hope you enjoyed my very strange Frankenbook!

#Monsterathon 2020 Recommendations Tag

So once again I'm participating in Monsterathon.  Bring on all things spooky!  As part of the challenge we are to complete a tag with recommendations for each category.  Now some of these are books I've read and some are books I think might work for the category.  Look for my actual challenge TBR later this week:

MAH SWAMP - A BOOK WITH A GOOD LOOKING COVER

This book is hauntingly beautiful and as a novella, it's perfect for a readathon.

WHISPERING WOODS - AN UNDERHYPED BOOK OR ONE YOU'VE NOT HEARD A LOT ABOUT

I read this one lately and don't think it's gotten a lot of buzz.  Cavendish writes great spooky, Gothic tales.

LAIR OF THE BABADOOK - A BOOK WITH LGBTQIA+ REP

 I think any book in the Wayward Children series would work but this one just happens to be my favorite.

HYDRA'S HANGOUT - A MYTHOLOGY BASED BOOK

I hope mermaids work for this one because I really did enjoy this book and am reading it's sequel as part of a book club in September as well.

UNDER THE BED - A BOOK BY A BIPOC YOU'VE BEEN SLEEPING ON

Actually this one has gotten a lot of buzz but I enjoyed it so much I couldn't resist recommending it.

YOUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE - LET A FRIEND PICK A BOOK FOR YOU

This book gave me serious Lost Boys vibe and takes place in the 80's.  I think EVERYONE needs to read it.

SECRET CRYPT - A MYSTERY BOOK OR BOOK WITH A MYSTERY ELEMENT

I loved the start of this mystery series and this one includes mysterious deaths in an abandoned asylum setting.

A MOMENT OF PEACE - A COMFORT READ

People don't usually associate horror with comfort reads but Hunter Shea is a must-read author for me and I've loved almost everything he's written so yea, I'm recommending a horror book.

AREA 51 - A BOOK FEATURING MUTANTS OR ALIENS

You asked for aliens, you got aliens.  And a pretty good fantasy/mystery tale as well.

REARVIEW MIRROR - INDIE BOOK OR BOOK THAT WAS PUBLISHED OVER 5 YEARS AGO

One of my favorite witchy books EVER and it was originally published in 1999.

THE UPSIDE DOWN - READ A RETELLING

I read this Island of Dr. Moreau retelling in 2014 and thought it was a solid read.

THE BUNKER - A BOOK WITH DISABILITY OF DEAF REPRESENTATION

Here's a recommendation for people that may want something that isn't actually horror.  The MC suffers from Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and has a learning disability.  I really enjoyed it and gave it 4/5.

WOW, I actually managed to use all books I've read.  That was easier than I thought!
