Cordelia no worries. you should read what/ when makes you happy! otherwise challenges are unsustainable. I hope you have a wonderful cozy day.








And thanks! The store was out of dry ice, aaah - how dare they change one of my plans!?

What did you think of How to Sell a Haunted House, Nanci?
I'm thinking I will get a lot of reading done this weekend - I'm taking my son to Arizona for a few days - he'll be hanging out with his friends, so I will have a quiet hotel room to read as much as I want! It sounds pretty heavenly.
Today the hubby and I are doing a Halloween party for the 20 or so kids we work with. I THINK it'll all go well - fingers crossed! They are great kids, which helps :)

Also, we are done with our first word - hooray!

19. I was excited that Louise and Mark were going to contact Aunt Gail. I liked meeting Barb. I was surprised that they could not really help, and suddenly, we were back where we started, in the creepy house with the puppets. Why do you think Barb and Aunt Gail were in the story?
I too was relieved to see Aunt Gail and Barbara and then wondered where in the world they went for the big fight scene, etc. Plus, doing an exorcism or w/e with a puppet that is known to possess other dolls, in a room full of dolls is questionable.
20. I found the horror of Poppy’s plight with Pupkin to be the most concerning. Did you find the horror in this book effective? Which parts creeped you out the most?
The dolls themselves, especially Pupkin, creeped me out the most. I dislike horror though, and didn't enjoy reading all of the fights, injuries, etc.
21. Gary Hendrix is also known for his humor. I laughed out loud when the puppets got together to form a golem. What parts (if any) did you find humorous?
I thought the extended family was the most humorous. I would have loved to see the various puppets arguing with each other in the golem.
22. I was shaking my head when Louise gave her daughter her stuffed animals. I would want no part of that house to be a part of my daughter’s life! How did you feel about that part?
I don't think my daughter would ever see another doll or puppet if I were Louise.
23. How do you feel about the ending?
Well, I was just glad to be done. I thought parts were rushed and didn't make sense, but some of that was I was trying to rush through and get on to something that didn't creep me out so much.

@LaurLa - that's wonderful about Nashville! And it does finish up our cities unless I'm counting incorrectly.
