This week's books, unfairly (or sometimes fairly) neglected, or simply those the reviewers below think you might find of some interest (or, infrequently, you should be warned away from); certainly, most weeks we have a few not at all forgotten titles.

Thanks for the link, Todd.
ReplyDeleteMine is posted, Todd. Thanks for doing hosting duties once again.
ReplyDeleteThank you folks.
ReplyDeleteWill you please add my post to the roster,Todd?
ReplyDeleteThe Midnight Mystery by Bertram Atkey
Thanks for filling in for Patti in her time of trouble.
Done! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link! LET’S GO PLAY is an obscure book that’s slowly getting some recognition. It’s one of those novels that’s a whole experience—you don’t just read it you kind of endure it. Unique and unsettling!
ReplyDeleteI had heard of it previously, but as far as I know had never seen a copy...probably did read it in conjunction with the mention of THE GIRL NEXT DOOR. Thanks for the entry!
