I either read with or to Nick each night. We've gone all the way through the Harry Potter books once, then started through again and are on book 3. When he is home at bedtime, my 21 yr old is often to be found hovering in the hall, pretending he's just there to pet the dogMy son and I started reading these together several years ago. (I read aloud to him.) We're about 1/4 into the last book! Such a special time between us. He's almost 14, and still asking me to read to him.
I wouldn't mind if they all came in for a listen.I'm a fan of his, but I've never heard of this one! Is it new? I'm thinking about starting his Rot & Ruin or Patient Zero series againGhost Road Blues by Jonathan Maberry
I have no idea, I just liked the cover and it was cheap. I knew his name, but I'm not sure why. So far I'm enjoying it.
I just looked them up. Ghost Road Blues is the first of the Pine Deep trilogy, apparently. Who knew?
I've liked everything else I've read from him, so I'll definitely look into picking this one up.
I finished The Trailer Park Princess and the Middle Finger of Fate and I enjoyed the tale. Pretty funny and it reflects on God, but not in an over-powering way. There are more Trailer Park Princess book that I'll check out later . . .
Tonight I'll start A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson. I think I'll like this one a lot.

I've only read the first two stories so far - I think Pop Art is up next. I'll let you know tomorrow!
I've gotten some Jonathan Maberry to keep me company when fall starts approaching... Got some books from his Rot and Ruin series and the Pine wood trilogy. A bit of a shot in the dark since i havent read any of his before but they werent expensive. About 6$ a book including shipping which is not much compared to what books cost here. And i did hear some appreciating voices......
Okay, I read Pop Art today and that is truly one of the most bizarre stories I've ever read! Until the very end I thought that Art was
his imaginary friend!
I just downloaded Ghost Road Blues because of you guys and this:
"Reminiscent of Stephen King. . .Maberry supplies plenty of chills in this atmospheric novel. . .This is horror on a grand scale." –Publishers Weekly
Started Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor. The second in a trilogy that started with the very good Daughter of Smoke and Bone. Good stuff keep coming.
Whew! Finished Girl on the Train today. I agree with the thoughts of shaking Rachel. It was a good read.
Finished my books by Geza Vermes on the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Nativity. I liked his way of writing and i liked his way of putting things in a contemporary context. That is, a jewish context, and of explaining, not just saying, why something looked like a mistake, a fabrication or something that actually could have happened. Considering reading more by him. Historians that can express themselfes are too rare to be missed.
Finally reading Charles Dickens. Hard Times, to be exact. About 6 chapters and like it so far.

Carrie White's Mom?Shirley Jackson responding to criticism . . .
Side note . . .I can't prove this is the real deal, but either way I think it's cool.
