Y’all. I have no idea if these even counts as a blog or not, but I’m sharing anyway.
Side note: I’ve had AuDHD intertia issues and other trauma dump stuff happening over the past year. I also had to had to focus hard on my day job clients. It’s sad when a soul realizes they just aren’t meant to monetize their creative endeavours as primary income. …ew. That sounded so responsible and grownup-like. Gonna play World of Warcraft now, then snuggle my husband and dog. See ya!
Middle-Aged Man in a Trashcan by William Brian Johnson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I enjoyed this story more than I thought I would! It has a Hitchhiker’s Guide meets American Gods cheekiness to it, with maybe a little Fight Club narration sprinkled on top. In my opinion, the writing matches the jump-cut style flashes that Joe (the main character) has due to memory issues (not spoiling anything). Once I got the cadence, it was like a movie in my head. There are chunks of the book that feel more robust, which again, matches with the vibe of the character(s) it’s following.
If you enjoy cheeky humor, you’ll probably like this series. It was a fun read – finished Book One in two sittings. And now I REALLY want tacos!! Trust me, you’ll probably crave tacos or coffee too by the end of it.
NOTE: I read this advanced reader copy via Kindle courtesy of the Book Sirens.
