Woohoo!

It's seemed SO LONG since April:)

I've been wanting to get my TBR list ready all month!

I am looking so forward to Frightfall. I need this. Hope everything went well with your move . I'm sure you are still unpacking. Thank you for hosting this TWO MONTH-LONG readathon during your busy time Michelle.

Steven, I'll admit...the move was a bit much. lol However, we're settling in and slowly getting things unpacked. Rome wasn't built in a day. :) Glad you will be joining us again!

Horror movie watch-along poll is live. Vote here (visit 'Polls' in the group menu) or vote in the group on Facebook.

I read , a mystery thriller. I'm starting (a little late) the first section of today.

I am listening to The Ocean at the End of the Lane and reading Weaveworld. I think I will review at least one book next week but Weaveworld is really long so it might take me a while.

I listened to last week.

Sequel to Bird Box, right? How was it?

Sequel to Bird Box, right? How was it?"

Yes! It was good. Bird Box didn't really need a sequel but you always wonder what happened after...and we got that. But I really hated one part, a big part, so I would've rather Bird Box been the end.

Oh, man! Not looking forward to whatever that part is. Still going to read it though.

I have not really been reading anything that qualifies for FrightFall. Or reading much of anything really. :( In a bit of a slump!
But I plan on reading starting Oct 1. I own a physical copy and I also got on the Overdrive holds list for the e-book so I can make the most of reading it. I would like to read it from Oct 1-31! lol.

September's Progress: :)

I'm starting today!

I still haven't read the entire book. :( Plan to at some point. Just heard King is writing a sequel. Squeee!

Our first of three movie watch-alongs is tonight. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein at 9:00 pm ET. Visit the Something Wicked Fall thread for the Slack invite link. We discuss there while we're watching. The movie can be watched for free on Amazon Prime Video (if you're a Prime member) or on Pluto (which is completely free, but may have commercials).

Read in September: , ,

Currently reading:

I finished reading/listening to today. And I've bitten the bullet and purchased the audio of for $7.49. Much like Dracula, actually reading this classic is difficult for me. The language is just so wordy and archaic, I find it hard to focus on. I will be alternating between the audiobook and the e-book for the duration of The Woman in White, like I did for Dracula. I am only on page 112. Vincent Gilmore has taken over narration.

Finished: ,

I'm the same way, and switched to the audio for Dracula when I tried reading it. I've had the audio for Woman in White for years but can't get myself to start it (it's just so long). I was hoping to this year with the readalong but was never able to get to it.

I have finished ! I gave it 2 stars. I did not like it. It was long and boring and maybe I missed something revelatory but it was pointless.
I am reading .
It is Dewey's 24-Hour Readathon tomorrow so I'm also slated to read and listen to . I'm also still reading !

Sorry you didn't like Woman in White. I'm still plodding along. Finding it interesting, but it's not really scary...at all. :(

Great line up for Dewey's. I'm going to read The Only Good Indians and Carmilla, and read a bit from Woman in White in between.

Seems Woman in White isn't working out well for any of us. I love Dracula.
