M’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

I finished Salem's Lot. Realized I am on vacation and I don't have a bedtime. It will cover a S, N, or D. For the next round I have a couple of books that fit for
Lucrezia Borgia
Marie Antoinnette
Bloody Mary

I am going to have a cup of coffee and enjoy the best thing about this place. Early morning rainstorm and the small of the trees.

I am going hunting. I think i can get a few of the Tricky ones since I have a collection of books on serial killers. One Question about the genre Psychological does it need to be just the one words or can it be psychological thriller?

I also finished Needful Things this morning and Moving on to The Stand. As much as I like this challenge reading a bunch of horror books while in a cabin in the woods was not the best of ideas. Oh well

I sat on the deck and read House of Leaves today. On my second time reading it I am still wrapping my mind around what I read. From the voice that tells the tale to how the book is laid out I am completely blown away with this book. If any of you like the horror genre I recommend it.

Road trip day 2.
We have survived on large amounts of Tim Horton's coffee and have begun to build a pyramid of doughnuts. It was fun to play a game of "pass the book" with everyone taking turns reading out loud. Especially fun when it is a Star Wars novel and Papa is great at doing funny voices.
On a side note I have gone though half my book pile already and it is only Sunday.
