It’s Monday!  What Are You Reading? is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.

Posted:

Character Connection featuring The Lilim from Stardust by Neil Gaiman

Review: The Ruins by Scott Smith–Irritating, cardboard characters but nevertheless a page turner

Read:
Curse of the Wendigo

The Curse of the Wendigo by Rick Yancey–I think I liked The Monstrumologist a little more, but I still liked this one

The Greatest Generation

The Greatest Generation by Tom Brokaw–I really liked this

The Haunting of Hill House

The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson, read by David Warner–I didn’t care for the narrator and I expected a little more from the story.

Salem's Lot

‘Salem’s Lot by Stephen King–Stephen King. What more should I say? I’m a fan.

Currently Reading:

Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford–I literally just grabbed this from the stacks, but I have high hopes

The Valleys of the Assassins and Other Persian Travels by Freya Stark–I’ve barely gotten started, so no real opinion on this yet either

The Wayside School Collection by Louis Sachar, read by the author–These are some of the last books I remember a teacher reading aloud to my class. I’m having a lot of fun revisiting them.

Up Next:

Possibly The Killing Tree by Rachel Keener or The Painted Boy by Charles de Lint.

  1. This is a varied group. I find S King can be rough sometimes. My family will never forget watching "It" together. 🙂
    Have a good week.

  2. I'm curious about the Tom Brokaw book…I have another of his (Boom) on my stacks.

    Enjoy your reading!

  5. What a pity your audiobook wasn't very good. The narrator is very important of course.

    I loved The House on the Corner, and I hope you do, too!

    Happy reading this week.

  6. I enjoyed The Haunting of Hill House. Maybe it's better to read it rather than as an audio. Have to say I am not a fan of audiobooks generally. Loved Salem's Lot. I;m a Stephen King fan too.

  7. I also just read a Wendingo themed book. I had a very slow week of reading. Please come see what I did finish.

  8. Intriguing title on Freya Stark's novel! You got a lot done last week. 🙂

    Follower. Come see my Monday! Have a great week!

  9. The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet is on Mount TBR, looking forward to your thoughts, maybe it'll move up the priority list.
    Have a great week and happy reading 🙂

  10. "Hotel" is great – we read it in two of my book groups! 🙂 I enjoyed it. Different from other books, but you can really connect with the characters.
