About Aleister Crowley, the most evil man in Britain, if not the world! Also an article by Gary Lachman, who used to be in the band Blondie, he writes new age stuff.
About halfway through Sleeping Beauties and a few chapters into Behind Her Eyes (Sarah Pinborough) I've never read any of hers, vut I'm finding this one interesting. I also started John Boyne's This House is Haunted on my kindle at school (trying to set a good example for one of my 'Why the heck does anyone read' students) and so far like it, though I'm only a few pages in. I received another one by him for Christmas, but haven't done anything more than look at it.
I finished The City of Mirrors yesterday.
Holy good Lord that was one excellent trilogy!
At times I wasn't keen on the way it was written...
...But that aside, the word "Epic" (often overused imo) is very apt for this. Loved it!
Started Joe Hill's Strange Weather last night, loved "Snapshot" and currently working my way into "Loaded"
Also bought Koontz's The Whispering Room too, my tbr pile groweth ever larger!!!
Hope everyone is okay, not been on for a while due to working over the Holiday period!

Specifically the way the story would jump 100, 20 and even 1000 years at a time!!

Reading The Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly. It's well written but about several women/girls from different points of view during Hitler's rise, so a difficult emotional read. I'm about halfway through.
I like Boyne! Haunted is really good. He has written a novel about the Bounty mutiny that was interesting. I have one called Crippen by him thats named after the famed english serial killer. (poisoned a lot of wifes). Its on my TBR list.
Finished The Dark Tower and started Nightshift (almost done)
It'll only feel like 200 pages, though! Enjoy!!...knew it was gonna take up most of my January
Just finished “Dolan’s Cadillac” for tonight’s discussion. Also starting Jack Ketchum’s Off Season.
Cody- did you enjoy The Other? I think it is a spectacular first novel.
Thomas Tryon wrote The Other...
I was going by your avatar. You look like you're enjoying the book.Thomas Tryon wrote The Other...
Ohhhh!! My bad!
Yeah, The Other is one of my favorite horror novels. I actually took that pic for an Instagram challenge.
Mine, too. Tryon did a stellar job of building the horror. Great first novel.
did a reread of Tana Frenchs The Secret Place. Really good. Its up there with In The Woods and The Likeness.
I was just coming to this thread to post that In the Woods ebook is $2.99. I love her books.

I am currently reading Jack Higgins "Eye of the Storm" and Monte Cassino By matthew Parker(one of the deadliest battles in WWII). oh yeah, Pet Semetary. I am trying to build up the SK Collection (again) and I have 30 of his books. It seems to me impossible to go into a book store and buy one book. Never works. I have books to read on Linguistics, Time(why we can't rememeber the future, wha)
