Book: 20th Century Ghosts by Joe Hill

  3. I don't usually read first thing in the morning, either. I've drunk four huge mugs of coffee, and now I'm starting to twitch. But, I'm finishing the first book on my pile, a Japanese mystery, and I must say there's something satisfying about getting so much done in the quiet "dawn". I have Joe Hill's "Heart Shaped Box". Maybe I'll get to parts of it today.

  4. Ashley - If you like Stephen King, you'll love his son's books. Heart Shaped Box is a novel and 20th Century Ghosts is a collection of short stories. Both are fantastic!

    Thanks for visiting my blog during the read-a-thon. Congrats on your reading. 1000+ pages is awesome!!

    ccqdesigns - Thanks for stopping by. It was so nice to have so much encouragement!

    Bellezza - Eeek! 4 cups of coffee would have had me bouncing off the walls. I usually quit after 2 unless I've had a rough night. I had a Diet Mountain Dew earlier this afternoon and in spite of feeling tired, I was very jittery.

    I'm curious to hear what you think of Heart-Shaped Box. The first half really creeped me out!!

  5. I love you pictures of the chair and your drink. I had to comment on this one because my grandfather had a very similar pipe rack and it made me smile.

  6. Lisa - Thanks! I love that leather chair. It's quite comfy. I'll have to tell my husband about your comment about the pipe rack. I have no idea where he got it. He's had it forever!
