Just finished Thinner. Now Carrie. Dr. Sleep should be here by the time I finish with Carrie.

I was off for almost 2 weeks over the holidays and almost constant reading was my main goal. I succeeded for the most part but now it is trying to snatch a few pages here and there throughout the day. I'm still reading We Are Water by, Wally Lamb. It's an interesting take on the story of a couple married for the better part of 3 decades, they divorce when the wife falls in love with another woman. So far each chapter alternates between the man and woman giving their accounts of their lives together as the day of a new wedding quickly approaches.
And I've started The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by, Michael Chabon. His books are always a treat!!

The Great & Secret Show is bubbling along nicely and I have just started The Hellbound Heart (I didn't fancy trying to read TG&SS hardback in the gale force winds on the way to work!).
Still percolating through McCammon, but I picked up a library book yesterday that's just captured me: Sleep, Pale Sister (Joanne Harris). I thought I'd read all of hers, but I hadn't even heard of this one. It's fascinating and creepygood! My brain has already cast actors for the main parts--lol. Apparently it was first released in the UK in 1994, but didn't get a US release until years later (after Chocolat). GREAT story so far!
At last I've started Revival. It made the wait in the dentist's today quite bearable.
Started High Cotton by Joe Lansdale last night. It's a short story anthology- should be a quick read as I've read most of the stories already.
Can't wait to "hear" your thoughts when you finish!
I loved it, it was one of the best books I have ever read; and one of the scariest story I have ever read.
I read Dark Half after Halloween. It was awesome. Half way through Regulators.
Just downloaded Sleep, Pale Sister on my Kindle...only $1.99! Thanks for the recommendation!
Carrie was a quicker read than I expected. Finished it. Still no Dr. Sleep, so Skeleton Crew is next.

Hellbound Heart went from "the book I will read while walking to and from work instead of a big hardback one" to "I just sat and read the entire thing in bed instead".
Great, short story. I was surprised by how closely the film plot of Hellraiser followed the book too.
Scarlet Gospels can't come soon enough for me!
I started Joe Hill's 20th Century Ghosts on my Kindle now as the new "book I will read while walking to and from work". Hopefully with it being short stories, I will be able to resist just blitzing through the entire thing!

I'm working through "22/11/63" on my new Xmas Kindle 
God I loved that bookI'm working through "22/11/63" on my new Xmas Kindle
I knew literally nothing about it, I didn't even read the blurb.
I picked it up through recommendations from a SK Facebook page (that might have been what kickstarted my SK collecting binge actually) and was literally blown away.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Me, too - I did not hear about if from FB, just a newspaper insert reviewing books. I came here (SKMB) eventually somehow or other, after reading 11/22/63.God I loved that book

Finished "Desert God" by Wilbur Smith. What a relief to see a return to his "old style" story. I enjoy the ancient Egyptian setting, and the story flowed well. The ending seemed a little rushed, but I don't want to be too picky. Overall, it was a good read.
