I think that's the general expectation. That's part of the reason I try to tell people that it's really not a horror book before they read it. I think you enjoy the book more when you're not expecting scary.

Oh most definitely. I tried to not expect, but failed lol

:)I'm not a fan of Horror and I only read it because I was told it wasn't a 'typical' King book. I think you described it perfectly above Kristie!
@Noir - At least he has plenty of other books that can satisfy your need for scary! :)@Karen - Thanks!

He sure does ;)
I just finished
and I really liked it.
Coming up, my first Bentley Little book,
.
- Just finished this on audio. I've read it before, but never finished the series so I wanted to start from the beginning. Not too bad. Not amazing. A solid 3 star. 
- Finished this companion short and it was interesting to hear the whole story behind why Liv was gone and hear about Roar before the first novel happened, when he was happy. Good short read. Current Reads:

Is it your first read of Magic Bites? If so, stick with the series it really does build on itself and is my fave paranormal series
And hooray for Newsflesh! You seem to have been reading that trilogy forever ;)
was not at all impressive, but it was good to read my first Bentley Little.I'm super eager to start
next.
Just finished
and it was good stuff that one. Now on to
. Excited!
Jumping onto my first David Morell book,
next.
Just finished
and really enjoyed it. I look forward to reading book 2 and hearing more. It definitely had a slow build due to the world building, but I liked it. Current Reads:
was great and I just requested the next installment from the library.Now to sink my teeth into
.

Currently available from netgalley and I'm really enjoying it. Light, upbeat family novel with good characters
joining the BOM discussion. I really like it so far. Very different from what I'm used to read.
Just started this and it's getting a little better. I didn't like it at first.
Listening to this on audio, and it's pretty funny.
Im currently reading
so far i am loving it. Flavia is such an peculiar little girl.
I loooved
so much, so now I'm going to read Hodge's
.
was sweet, and as soon as NaNoWriMo gives me a chance, I'll dig into
.
I'm reading 'Can you keep a secret' by Sophie Kinsella, (Can You Keep a Secret?) and I am absolutely loving it.
I finally finished reading Minders during the weekend after being on it for about a week. I really liked but it was a long book. I am now trying to finish
Apparently that last post got posted before i finished. I am now reading The Raven Boys and it is slow going because i only have about a week and a half left before my month long break so every single one of my classes is throwing homework at me and i have no time to read. So i am only reading a little bit at a time. I am also reading Throne of glass on my iPod. I also got Grave mercy on my iPod so i will start that at some point.
Am reading the young elites by Marie Lu and I love it so far .
I just finished
. It wasn't bad, and the author really creates a lovely tale, but I didn't fall in love. And now on to
.
I am reading The Shadow of the wind. Really good so far..just need to keep a dictionary handy. No complaints..increasing my vocabulary

I can't wait to hear what you think of Bird Box. That one has been on my tbr for a while.

I see Bird Box everywhere lately, and my curiosity got the best of me lol
I am reading
. It's okay but not my favorite.
I just finished
and did not like it at all. Next in line is
.
Finished two five star reads for me -
and
Unlike the Silmarillion (that's great), the other two are good.
I am finishing up May We Be Forgiven today. What a roller coaster ride. And contemporary and absurd and humorous. Very interesting book for my pm kmreal life book club, but so glad I have discovered this author.
I'm actually in the process of reading several books right now, the 9/11 Commission Report, i don't know if i personally buy into the "official" story as the Government claims happened. I am a bit of a skeptic and conspiracy guy myself, I don't always believe what I see/read esp from our Government haha. But I've been wanting to read the book for some time (to get The Gov't side of it) but just haven't gotten around to it until I saw it for cheap at the Goodwill and picked it up but personally I think it's questionableThe Illuminatus! Trilogy by Robert Shea & Robert, not sure what to say/think about this book other than its really trippy and can be difficult to follow but still interesting if you like conspiracies and the Illuminati/NWO type stuff.
I am also reading Fool Moon by Jim Butcher (the Dresden Files Book 2) a scifi/supernatural murder series, I like it far.
And finally, I'm reading The Bible (in pictures) all the parables of Jesus in the NT
I was able to finish all of the books that i was reading in my last post. I loved
and i have copy signed by the author that i got for christmas last year so i will probably start that either this year or next year. I also got a huge stack of books that i am going to reading for the month of December. I also plan on starting a book that i own but i haven't quite figured out which one i want to start yet. i have a couple of thick books i want to start but i don't want to take them to school next week so i think i will wait to read those when i am done with my exams. I also have a few ebooks i want to finish. eBooks i want to read:

I am listening to my first book by Haruki Murakami,
- very strange feel to it - great writing. I am also reading
today.
I'm currently reading The trial by Kafka. It's... different.
Lindsay, I just finished The Metamorphosis by Kafka. His stuff is definitely different, but entertaining in a weird, dark kinda way.
I have just finally finished

by Sarah Waters. My review of Ellis Island is here:
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Has anyone read City of Hope? Is it worth a shot?
So far i have finished
which i didn't really like that much,
which was a lot better than mind games and
and i am not sure if i like this or not but i will finish the trilogy since i have to read them for a challenge. I am now reading at least five books i think:
which should be done by the end of the weekend or on monday,
which will be done by the end of the week,
i have probably read about 4 chapters of this so far and i am liking it a lot better than i thought i would,
which i am very excited about since i had to wait at least a month for it, and
which is slow going since i don't have that i much time to sit and read it but i migh tget to it tomorrow.
I'm reading
and I'm liking it so far. I'm actually a little bit farther in it then the last time I read it and I like it that it's an easy read.

I mean, it wasn't a bad book. Taken for what it is, it was a fair read and I was touched by a few of the details in the story. I just thought it was more of creeps and thrills (you know, the usual Stephen King).
