Typical slow start, lots of characters to introduce. I know the story will be worth it.

This author is a great storyteller. My problem is there is no mute button on a book when it gets intense. So I'm taking it slowly.

I'm taking a light-reading break. Mr. Greig's stories are like filet mignon, one must savor the great detail and characterizations. They are also intense. I must rest in between reading sessions.

Not Kindle.

My reading goal this year is very low. However, it is meant to only count new reads since I've been caught up in re-reads this past year. So let's see if I can get myself out of my rut. Happy New Year everyone!

Finally my turn with this from my library. This will be my last ghost story before Halloween.

Challenge complete. This was a given as I'm now retired, but still. Now on to my Christmas reading as that has been neglected the past few years.

I'm afraid I'm starting from the sub-atomic stage. Still, doesn't matter as long as I'm moving. Even at zero Kelvin, movement has been measured.

I'm reading the introduction and my heart is breaking.

Okay, got this back from the library after having to reset my ereader and it returned all my books.

The story could be done by now, but it lives on.

I'm in a funk. Started four other books before the one I'm trying now. Hope it works.

This story is heavy on guilt by both protagonists but especially the heroine. She's pissing me off because she's not trusting a man who has unloaded his heart. He's got courage and she's a coward.

Having read Ethan's book I must read Nick's book. I'm dying to hear him call his wife lamby pie. Six and a half feet of teddy bear antics. We all need such a man in our midst.

If one can have a favorite Agatha Christie, this would be mine. However, it's a photo finish with about 15 other of her books. Recently purchased the ebook. So now it's mine, forever. No binding to fall apart (still have the paperback copy, though.

This is getting boring. I'd have thought that having so many authors contributing that each story would be fresh. I'm going to take a break and read another Highlander story. There, that feels better.

Okay. I'm reading the first story of this anthology and I'm not sure I can do this. I do not like to be scared but I don't mind ghost stories. This first story just mentioned the narrator having watched "The Haunting" at age 11. I was 9 or 10 when I saw that movie and had nightmares for years. I finally watched in again in my 50s and sure enough it wasn't worth any more nightmares. But still...

Got to get started on this one as it is due in three days and can't be renewed.
