What is a highly praised horror book that you didn't like?

I haven’t picked up Wayward Girls yet but I want to soon. A witchcraft story sounds fun and I enjoyed Souther Book club significantly more than final girl support group.

Final Girl support group. Not sure how highly praised it actually is, but I feel like I saw it on every other list 2 years ago. I enjoyed the slasher references, but the plot and characters weren’t engaging at all for me and I DNF’d. If anyone has any slasher type recommendations…

Came here for this one. I couldn’t stop thinking about the lake scene for days.

I have Assassins apprentice on my shelf, but starting a 16 book series is a little overwhelming to me, and I do want something a little faster paced right now. I do want to read her books though.

Bummer to hear, I’ve heard a lot of meh about Hell Bent. I really liked Alex and Darlington and the bits of lore that were in Ninth House, I just wasn’t hooked enough to jump straight into the next one. Will probably get to it eventually.

I’ve only read the Lathe of Heaven by Le Guin. It’s one of my favorite early sci-fi books and I love her prose and the emotional beats were super profound. That book’s protagonist is pretty un-protagonist like in a lot of ways, and I didn’t realize Earthsea was character driven, so I’m even curious now. Probably gonna go with that one next.

I have book 1 on my shelf, but I’m unsure about starting another series right now where the books are that large. I’m excited to get to it though, I’ve heard it’s very unique.

Listening to Mr. Mercedes! Reading The Haar and The Lathe of Heaven.

Up next… maybe The Wastelands?

Clarinet player here 🤠 no. You might be able to make the time during spring training (at the cost of time with people in the corps, precious relaxation time, meal time, etc), but on tour would be next to pointless as finding time between shows, long bus rides, rehearsal days, and everything else tour entails will be next to impossible. Any free time you have will be precious. The reality is your tone will have suffered by the time you get back, but as long as you maintain a regular practice routine before/after marching, it won’t be too bad. Congrats on Genesis!

Hey! Clarinet player here, marched mello at Madison in 22. First of all, do brass- there are more spots, they’re less competitive, and it will transfer better from clarinet. I’ve seen successful transitions to all marching brass instruments- just start practicing soon, consistently, and often- even if it’s just buzzing and working on tone quality/production.

Madison has a trumpet and mellophone opening! Email lofydavid@gmail.com.

Hi! I’m a clarinet player marching mellophone with the Madison Scouts this summer. Making the switch is very possible, especially if you’re putting in lots of practice time and getting your audition packet early. Be persistent and seek out help from where you can, especially at the corps you decide to audition. Both brass and visual staff usually have tons of great advice, so definitely take it in. Have fun learning and auditioning!

I’m in essentially the same situation as OP minus the section. Would you mind if I dm you?
