Enter the thrilling medical world of Heads! This 1985 book by David Osborn is...not great. Have a listen for my thoughts on the book (and be warned, there are spoilers in this episode!)

The full review in text form will be posted later this week on www.noformatblog.ca.

The wrap-up episode for The Saturday Night Ghost Club! A bit of a tweak in the format, without any specific summaries of the book. I answer some questions that I asked last episode, and set up the next book!

I'm very excited to start a new book! This wasn't entirely intended (influenced only by when I received the book from the library), but The Saturday Night Ghost Club (by Craig Davidson) starts today with episodes 1-4, right when most other people are watching Stranger Things 3 (I've only seen the first season + the first episode of season 2 so far). This is a spooky book, and really good so far. So dive in with me!

The theme music in today's episode is titled "Hor Hor" by composer Alexander Nakarada, and is available under a public domain license.

This bonus episode contains a full read of "Murder and Suicide, Respecively" by Ryan North, a story from the first Machine of Death short story collection! Buy the book from Amazon if you haven't ever read it before. Get in touch with me on Twitter to discuss theories about this story!

This is it! The final episode for Gone, a novel by Michael Grant. We get some answers and everything wraps up (mostly) with only a handful of open threads for future books.

Plenty of new information revealed in these chapters, including the cause of The Fayz! Or part of the cause. This is the penultimate episode for Gone coverage, with chapters 39 - Final coming in 2 weeks' time.

Read 'All Our Relations' by Tanya Talaga - it's a really important book that I think everyone needs to read.

After a lengthy delay, a 12-chapter update for Gone, chapters 20-32. Things are really heating up, and if this were a movie we'd be pretty close to the third act by now. There are going to be two more episodes for Gone, before moving on to the next book. Enjoy!

I doubled my reading output and read 6 chapters over 2 weeks. Covering off chapters 13 through 19 in this episode, things have escalated very quickly in Perdido Beach.

Returning to Gone (Michael Grant) this week with chapters 10-12. There's a lot of new information learned in these 3 chapters. Also, this is really a slow-read. Also in this episode: re-reading Dune alongside the Dune Subreddit.

This episode starts off my coverage of Gone by Michael Grant. I read chapters 1-9 (17% of the book). Pick up your copy of Gone from the Library or at Amazon.
