I've been wanting to read that one. It sounds good.
I'm still unpacking some books lol, and pulled out this whimsical copy of The Strange Library by Haruki Murakami, the story starts on the cover under the flap, so I sat down to read the page then kept going and I'm almost done. It's such a great feeling when that happens. What a crazy and magical story, wow.

Unpacking books is always a big task! I’ve only read one Murakami book so far, but am looking forward to more and this one sounds very interesting. Glad you are enjoying it :)
I’m currently reading The Institute by Stephen King, loving it so far!

It really is, and somehow it still doesn't stop me from buying more haha. That said this book was incredible, actually made me cry in the end.
Ohh I've wanted to read this for ages, not sure what box it's still packed in haha.

For 80% this book was one thing, then all of a sudden, it is taking a hard right turn into WTF territory!

real-life horror about a Belgian Antarctic expedition that got stuck in the ice. For fans of Dan Simmons's "The Terror"



This is my third read of The Elementals and it's just as good as I remember.

Loved that one, solid story.

I think as long as you remember when they were written, both are very enjoyable novels.

No real horror so far, just a lovely spooky weirdness.

LOVE LOVE LOVE that book!
I got a few ebooks today I might throw into my reading shuffle but right now I'm enjoying The Institute by Stephen King. I wasn't really planning on reading this one but I picked it up as I was organizing books, and out of curiosity read the first page and sat down and read a few more then decided to what the heck, lets read another King.


Weird, strange and curious events and accounts from real medical emergency rooms. I am mainly reading stuff like this these days. The books were written for a German audience, but if anyone has international recommendations for strange but true tales from the walks of life, I'd appreciate it.

Currently working on They Thirst and The Works of John Keats . Just finishing up The Sound and the Fury today as well. Hope everyone has a great day :)

That's an interesting mix. Makes me feel like a slacker.
Finished a friends' manuscript - a mystery - and poking slowly through The Dead Hours of Night.
