The Asylum where obsession for music and books lives.
Tales from the Asylum is a new feature I came up with for SPFBO. I wanted to create a unique opportunity for the authors to show off their story telling skills by taking their characters and putting them in an asylum room to see how they would deal with the situation. A lot can happen in a closed space...
Jeffrey L. Kohanek has a knack for giving them fun personalities and lots of humorous interactions with one another. This is popcorn so it’s light on some of the rounding out of the characters - we do see clear motivations but occasionally there is a leap to get us from point a to b in the story, that’s ok too because this is unapologetically fun and isn’t trying to be anything else.
Music Monday is a meme that was created by Drew from The Tattooed Book Geek. You pick a song and/or video and share it on Monday.
The Questioning is where everything gets upside down. Every month I invite one author and one blogger, who showed me great support during my blogging life. Then I push them waaaaay out of their comfort zones. Authors has become interrogators and Bloggers get interrogated. Rest assured, no one gets hurt (much) and everyone has fun (eventually). You can find every related post on The Questioning page!

For a change, Jen and me doing a post together, as some of the books below are already cut, and as I'm being slow with reading and don't have enough material for a post on my own, I decided to chime in.

The Imaginary Corpse is one of the most imaginative books I've read in a long time. As someone who is a sucker for stuffed animals and battles with anxiety this book really hit close to home. Tyler Hayes debut fantasy novel just ruined me in the best possible way, and not only jumped somewhere near the top of my "Favourite Books Ever" list, but also landed him on my auto-buy list.
There is a lot to love in A Hero Born though, and I am thrilled to have had the opportunity to read this Chinese classic.
What Lehmann excels at is weaving an intricate, multilayered story, with complex characters who feel like they could walk out of the pages anytime. Shattered Fears is about battling your demons whether they are real or just in your head. Or are they?

The name’s Tippy, formally Detective Tippy of the Stuffed Animal Detective Agency. I am, as you can see, a sunflower-yellow stuffed triceratops. I’m the best detective in Playtime Town and among the best in the Stillreal, and I used to be a pretty darn good imaginary friend before my creator decided to part ways with me. (It’s a long story.)

Shields in Shadow was an exciting popcorn read - thriller-type pacing, good gory battles, and some fun characters to root for. All in all it looks to be a great start to a series that is worth keeping an eye on.
With September arriving the temperature dropped from 33 to 18 in a day - which I'm not complaining about, because fuck heat. Probably my brain will now will be able to process reading and stuff - once I finally get some normal rest, that is. As I've been lacking with a lot of things in August, September will be all about catching up and trying to squeeze in everything. I don't have much to look forward to this month, so no distraction.
Summer is finally over and we are about to have a temperature drop and I'm sooooo ready for not boiling finally.
August went away in a blink of an eye and I'm both sad and happy about it. I had some great times, but I also got damned behind on EVERYTHING. September will be about trying to catch up to myself.
