Reading and Rumps • A Richard Laymon Read-a-thon!

You know I love me some Richard Laymon. He is one author I have read every summer for the past few years too. So, thank you, Regina for organizing this event! This June, buckle up for a backwoods bloodbath, lusty librarians, haunted basements, and enough bad decisions to fill a swamp. We're honouring the master of pulpy mayhem, Richard Laymon, with a month-long read-a-long that's as unhinged as his characters.Grab a paperback, lower your standards, and prepare to scream, laugh, and possibly blush your way through the carnage. Scroll down for the prompts and join the madness..But beware: side effects may include uncontrollable screaming, raised eyebrows, and a full-blown case of Laymania!#ReadingandRumps #LaymaniaRegina of Regina’s Haunted Library and Alex, The Bookubus created this tag. And I am so honoured to be one of the co-hosts! @ReginasHauntedLibrary ‪@TheBookubus‬ ‪@SlimeAndSlashers‬ ‪@AuthorDLTillery‬ ‪@HarpiesintheTrees‬ and me @typicalbooks‬ ‪Weekly Prompts 🔪 Week 1: Boobs Before Brains (My pick? Among The Missing. People are camping so the possibility of weird noises to investigate is very high.)Read a Laymon scene where hormones override common sense.Bonus points for someone investigating a noise in their underwear.🔪 Week 2: The Basement is Always a Bad Idea (My pick? Endless Night. May have a basement, highly rumpy.)Find a scene where a character enters a creepy space they absolutelyshould've avoided. Why are they like this?🔪 Week 3: The Villain Slaps (My pick? Cuts. This villain creeped me out a lot when I first read it.)Celebrate Laymon's most over-the-top baddies. Pick your favoritepsycho, swamp monster, or possessed creep and share the chaos.🔪 Week 4: Campfire Trash Classic (Bonus read: Darkness, Tell Us)Wrap it up by picking the most off the wall moment from your read and honouring it like the glorious literary insanity that it is.So there you have it. Let us know if you participate either with a video, a blog post, photos, or just curling us with a wild ride that is a Richard Laymon novel.✮✮✮✮✮✮
