I finished Come Closer practically in one sitting. It was quick, spooky and very enjoyable. I hadn’t read as creepy a tale as that one in quite a while. Of course it doesn’t help that at one point while I was reading about the noises the main character is hearing, I also heard some odd creaks in my house. Yikes. We really need to have that foundation looked at.
Anyway, after that quick read I picked up, Under the Dragon’s Tail, the second book in the Inspector Murdoch series by Maureen Jennings and finished it in one day. Even better than the first. I promise to have more detailed reviews later on both books but right now it’s getting late and I need to catch up on some missed sleep.
Although, rather than going to sleep I am tempted to do some book shopping on Amazon. While I was spending some time with my mom this evening, my husband decided to order some books and he didn’t wait to see if I wanted to order a book. The nerve. I don’t think I should stand for this right? hee,hee. So I may just have to get back by placing my own little order.
Order! Order! Order!
I hit the BIG Halfprice on NW Hwy and the one on Preston today and found some clearance goodies. Yippy!
Sounds like you had a good book weekend. I love spooky books that make your imagination run a little wild.
My weekend reading only consisted of catching up on some magazines. I still need to get over to HP Books….
Thanks for commenting over in my journal! I’ve added your blog to my blogroll. It looks like we have similar tastes…Isabel Allende and Margaret Atwood also top my list of favorite authors. I even named my cat Isabel, after Allende! I’m also a fan of the other authors on your favorite list.
Andi – I haven’t ordered anything yet but I haven’t gotten a box of books in a while so I’m still thinking about it 🙂
Christine – Oh what magazines did you read? You always find some great stuff!
Nyssaneala – Thank you! I’ve added you too. That’s so cute about your cat being named for Ms. Allende 🙂
I was reading Time Out – New York, Layers (Adobe creative magazine) and Dwell…. wow, those are kind of all over the place as far as topic…
Didn’t ask if you wanted to order anything?! Unacceptable. I’d go ahead and order away!
ok so crazzzy I hate it when people are not considerate and take into account the shipping fees. Maybe there was a present for you in there which he did not want you to see… maybe!
What a good weekend – 2 books! Your last 2 posts have convinced me to add Come Closer to my list of books to read.
Christine – I still have to check out Dwell. Next time I go to the bookstore I will.
Max – I completely agree 🙂
Nessie – Ooh, I like the idea of a present!
Booklogged – I hope you’ll enjoy it and of course let us know!
Ooh, I’m glad you found it as creepy as I did! Tapping noises always freak me out – comes from reading too many ghost stories as a kid.
