Thanks so much! I am not giving up hope on finding that 5 star read lol I know it's out there. I've had some solid 4s.

Borrowing the idea to pick a book from the same shelf mentioned above (whimsy) I would like to nominate Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman

I have been putting IT off for YEARS and finally this gives me a reason to finish it! I’ve been moving all this week and can’t find my copy… but I know it is here somewhere. I also go..."

I've read Pet Sematary (loved it!) and Misery (enjoyed it. Kathy Bates was perfectly cast in the movie adaptation for sure). He can sure spin a tale!!

I have some new suggestions:

** Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder by Joanne Fluke (August, open to other months)

** Only in Your Dreams by Ellie K. Wilde (September, open to other months)

** Chain Letter & Chain Letter 2: The Ancient Evil by Christopher Pike (I thought since they're both so short we could do them in the same month but it's just a suggestion, I am open to separating them out or just doing the first book only. Suggesting for September but open to other months)

I totally understand, but we'll all be here to help each other through the scary parts if you give it a try.

Miracle of miracles, Libby decided it was my turn to get a copy long before I thought I would, so I have it now. I'm going to start reading it soon, maybe Tuesday :)
