Sooooooo.... I'm back from 3 weeks in St. Lucia for my Dad's funeral. Only managed to read 5 books. Now I have some major catching up to do with my reading. I don't even think I'll be able to get caught up on these threads, they way we talk on here.

I'm so sorry for your loss

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

I’m sorry to hear about your Dad Yanique. I lost mine 17 years ago and still miss him every day

[Yanique, Thread Master]

Thanks guys. I'm in such a weird mental state. Coping though, and trying to get back into my normal groove.

[Virginie]

I'm sorry for your loss, Yanique.

[Olivia]

Sorry to hear about your dad :(

I just ordered the first Kushiel book because everyone in the buddy reads seem to really enjoy them.

Anni, was this somewhere in Germany? We're going on holidays to Germany (Willingen) this summer and were looking for some things to visit.

Yes, it was this one: http://www.hochwildpark-rheinland.de

It's actually closer to the belgian border than to Willingen, don't know if that's too far away? I live farther west (Region Cologne/ Bonn) so I don't think I'm much help here...

Hello! I'm kinda new here and enjoying my time here so far!

So I was searching for a place to cry about my mistake on applying on so many BR then I heard about random chatter. First 10 days of Jun & July especially scares me!

my schedule on excel

I guess I shouldn't commit so many BR's, its gonna be super hard to catch you guys on Wheel of Time ^^ I don't know how you guys read so many books, especially @Iain, he is where ever I look lol.

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

We actually do tracker threads here... probably shouldn't look at mine :D

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Some of us are just blessed with more reading time... I still find myself overbooked...

Wow that's a very detailed tracker you have there. But I love all your Sanderson books :-) Hope you enjoyed them.

[Yanique, Thread Master]

Thanks for all the kind words and hugs guys!

Getting caught up on my BRs from March so I can start the April ones I planned. Thinking I may add a few more to make up for lost time, though I did initially limit myself to 4 a month....

Yeah you were right I shouldn't look at yours :)

Thnx for pointing that I might open my own topic if I got free time from reading :/

Thank you!! It makes me keep my motivation up, seeing my schedule detailed and each book has its own time. I try to finish each book in its own time therefore I manage to create time whenever I can.

The sense of accomplishment is amazing :)

I bet. I love the feeling of checking things off of a list :-)

[Virginie]

So I saw the Let's Play: How To Make An Ominous-Sounding Mystery Title thread.
Here's my title.... *drum roll*

Death in the Vitamin Aisle!

Very, very, very scary, right? >_<

At least it's not as bland as The Stranger on the Steamboat :-/

[Lena]

The Widow Under the Stairs
I think I win.
That’s scary.

[Yanique, Thread Master]

Ordered the first 2 Kushiel's books.... because my TBR definitely needed more books....

[Anni]

My 'scary' title is The liar in the emergency room... It's a big mystery!!! What is he lying about? Will this lie kill him? And what is the axe murderer doing behind the defibrillator?

[Shaitarn]

My scary title is 'Evil at the Car Dealership'. I'm going to pretend it's a prequel to Christine.

Ha! Christine is what I thought of when I read your title, too :-)

[Ahdam]

I got the stranger in the cemetery

Plot

Randy works at a cemetery and is surrounded by dead people if you ask him how he got there he will probably give you a different answer every time since he hates his job until he sees a stranger standing on a race and when he goes to investigate and he then finds a spirit who kills randy and uses his body as his own and it turns out the stranger was really bored in the cemetery and goes on a night out in the city destroying property getting into fights and once he was done he went back to the cemetery and left randy body to sleep while Randy is arrested for a list of charges

I’m just really bored so there hahaha

I first read that as 'The Window Under the Stairs.' Then I read it properly and now I can't shake the image of my mother-in-law lying in wait in my utility cupboard... *flinches*

[Yanique, Thread Master]

Murder in Room No. 8

[Lena]

Yep Shaitarn, pretty scary. She’s just waiting to comment on how dirty the inside of your refrigerator is.

I read it that way too and I didn't know I had read it wrong until you said this haha. Widow is definitely creepier.

[Tammie]

Ok this is fun. My whole family had to try it.
I got The Woman at the Car Wash
The hubby got The Stalker in the Panic Room. That is the most ominous. You're supposed to be safe in the panic room!
Our daughters got...
The Woman in the Broom Closet
The Liar at the Car Dealership (so true to life!)
Death at the DMV
Death in Room No. 8

Death at the DMV happens from boredom every time you have to go.

[Lena]

Tammies husband is pretty good but I think I still win.

Agreed. Yours is especially creepy ;)

[Chris]

Lena wrote: "The Widow Under the Stairs

I ended up getting "The Body Under the Stairs". It could work even if it is a little cliche!

The wife: "The Stalker on the Midnight Train"
My oldest: "Evil on Flight 42"
My youngest: "The Woman in the All-Night Diner"
My dog: "The Widow in the Broom Closet"

[Lena]

That’s flat out scary even if it is cliche.

[Ahdam]

I was just searching it since it reminded me of an edgar allen poe story that I heard about and I believe it was The Tell-Tale Heart

Which reminds me I should probably add poe to the list as well

Edgar Allen Poe is great! The Tell-Tale Heart, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Masque of the Red Death, The Raven, Annabel Lee...lots of great stuff.
Except for The Pit and the Pendulum. It is terrible on every level. Don't get me started on that one.

[Ahdam]

Sarah wrote: "Ahdam wrote: "I was just searching it since it reminded me of an edgar allen poe story that I heard about and I believe it was The Tell-Tale Heart

I heard a lot about poe and the only reason I know about tell tale was because of a simpsons episode of it but the others sound really interesting hopefully I can get to some horror novels

I'm not really sure what to expect from horror books like I'm not really into horror films sure I get scared with them especially with the cheap jump scares but there is something about them that doesn't appeal to me even the recent Quiet place doesn't intrigue me so I'm interested to see how you would feel scared when reading horror because I can't really imagine it happening but then again I might be wrong

The body Under the Stairs reminds me of something that happened once. I used to work in a department store years ago, and the employees used a stairwell that was behind a door and rather dimly lit to go upstairs instead of the public escalator. One day as I was about to go up the stairs I saw what looked like a body lying under the stairs. It really freaked me out for a second, until I realized it was just a mannequin.

I've never been a fan of the typical horror film but give me stuff like "Seven", "Silence of the Lambs", even "The Juror". Those are the kind of scary movies that I like.

Too dull :)

[Sedat]

I got "The thing in the corn field"

Edit:
Well me being careless as always didn't read the topic with my full focus and didn't even click the link so I thought that we are improvising our horror titles, yeah.

Mine should be "Murder in the elevator". It sucks, lol.

Thnx Beste for pointing it out.

13/10/1990 why did you ask?

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

I missed that too... Mine is:

The Widow in the Swamp

I wanted to say this reminded me of the fishwife thing, but that means something different than I intended... I'm thinking of a possible Lovecraft story involving dead wives hidden in water... there's always that USA channel movie...
