We Live Here Now by Sarah Pinborough

Another novel that was on quite a few lists when I googled “best horror novels of 2025”. About 1/4th in, and its an effective haunted house type story, with some serious marital drama thrown in. I’m digging it and eager to get deeper into the mystery of the house and its new occupants.

Never read anything by the author before, but when I was researching if I wanted to buy the book, I saw she has some good credentials/laudits.

A hat full of sky

Continuing my Discworld journey with the next Tiffany Aching book, and it's another good one.
I remain amazed at how well written Tiffany is. She's smart and powerful and she knows it, which makes her somewhat obnoxious at times, but it feels very natural, when she could easily have fallen into Mary Sue territory (Like Susan Sto Helit did IMO).

But poor Granny Weatherwax is clearly starting to get too old for this crap, I'm assuming a passing of the torch story is ahead of me.

On our road trip we read through Weird Oregon and Weird Washington. They are fun reads and helped us find some truly weird places to visit. Sadly, a couple of them have been dismantled or closed from the public since the books came out. Still fun to read about even if we couldn’t see everything.

We also picked up a book on the native peoples of the Pacific Northwest that turned out to be too academic and dry for a road trip, and the book on native legends of the PNW found in every gift shop which is good in small doses and a real snoozer read straight through.

Another interesting place for any road trip is the Atlas Obscura Book/website.

Too bad some of the Weird places were closed in the PNW. I had a similar issues on a road trip in the Midwest.

I keep forgetting that site exists. We used it years ago to find the Beach of Bones/Carcass Beach at Salton Sea. When we tried to use Google maps, it took us to the wrong place.

I’ll have to consult Atlas Obscura for our next journey.
