Janice (jamasc) I picked up Nightmare House for .99 on iBooks (same price on Amazon). I also used a credit on Audible for The Secret Place. I'm currently reading Broken Harbour, so will be set to finish the series once I'm done.

I've been reading the comments on the thread. I plan on finishing the series by the middle of May, but I'll be happy to comment.

I'm a bit weirded out right now. Broken Harbour is about a family that was murdered. Yesterday, I was reading CBC's website and there were preliminary reports of a very similar situation in the neighboring province to me. There were more details today. It's a coincidence (life imitating art) that is unnerving.

Glad to have you join in the discussions with us. I can see how that would be a bit unnerving! I would feel the same way!


message 3412: by Alondra (new)

Alondra Miller Just bought the last 3 books in the Locke & Key graphic novel series by Joe Hill.

I am soooo excited, but sad that I will be finishing the series up. I am really loving SKs son as a writer. He definitely can hold his own. :D

I think you will really enjoy it. Action right from the start, with a lot of twisted elements. Trying to figure out the full mystery of the house and the "girl in the well"... great stuff. (she is not all she seems; she's more) ;)

Janice (jamasc) The Kindle Daily Deal today offers the first six books of the Charley Davidson series by Darynda Jones for 1.99 each. iBooks is offering the same deal. Since I already read the first book, First Grave on the Right I picked up books 2 - 6 from iBooks.

Janice (jamasc) I went shopping at Chapters yesterday and got The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry and A God in Ruins. I forced my sister to get City of Women. It wasn't that hard. She was easily swayed. I just hope she enjoys it as much as I did.

I loved the Storied Life of A.J Fikry. To me, it is just an amazing story, with great characters that make you feel so invested in them. Hope you enjoy it too.

I chose it for my real life book club meeting in July because I've heard great things about it in Goodreads.
