Chris, I LOVED the show, but it has nothing to do with the book at all, other than the same character names are used. The show was excellent as a completely separate entity, in my humble opinion.

Thanks, Char.
Returning to Michael Grant's Gone series with Plague, more than three years after reading Lies! Enjoying it so far - some creepy grossness and interesting moral dilemmas.

I love The Eyes of the Dragon and think it may be one of the most underrated of King's books!
I saw the movie and didn't remember that it was the same story until my hubby noticed. I barely remember the film so it's like I'm hearing the story for the first time. 😂

Haven't read a good witch story in a long while, so today I'm starting Aunt Tilda by Deborah McClatchey. "Sylvia and Matthew Haslett had mixed feelings about their mother's old aunt coming to visit. They only remembered from the last visit that she was smelly and 'weird'. However, they were about to learn much more than they wished on this visit!"
I stepped away from reading horror for a few months, but I've replenished the TBR pile on my nightstand with horror/paranormal and am ready to dive back in!

Yes. It’s very dark.

This sounds good - did you finish?
Paper Towns by John Green
Reading horrorstor by Grady Hendrix. I’m really enjoying it. I had it in my kindle library for a while and am glad to finally be reading it. It’s quite funny.
I'm reading Different Seasons by Stephen King, so far I've finished 2 of the 4 short stories. I loved Apt Pupil but surprisingly didn't care much for Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption.
Finished horrorstor by Grady Hendrix, now reading my sisters grave by Robert Dugoni.

I hope you enjoy it!
I'm not reading it, but I've been listening to an abridgement of Dark Matter by Michelle Paver. Very creepy. I think I may try to find the actual full book.

Have you seen the TV series, Char? I’m wondering if it’s worth using in class.
