See what a difference a few days make?<br /><br />DesLily - only time will tell when I will actually get to any of these! I am thinking October?<br /><br />Gautami - I've had Deliverance Dane loaded on my Kindle since it came out...it was an impulsive purchase but I'm glad I got it. <br /><br />Nymeth - I won "Let the Right One In" from C.B. James in a giveaway, but I've gotten bogged down since then. Thanks for making me feel better about the lack of self control!<br /><br />Jackie - I just adored The Ghost Writer, so I was very excited to hear about the release of The Seance. Love those spooky stories!<br /><br />Marg - I know, I shouldn't even try to fight it. Another Shadow of the Wind, huh? Well, I'm about halfway through the 47 disc "The Fiery Cross" on audio. When I finish that (who knows when) I will go for the popular vote!<br /><br />Lauren - I loved The Moonstone so I was intrigued to read another Wilkie. It could also count as my last "Classics" challenge book. Another Shadow of the Wind vote!<br /><br />Diane - I've read good and bad, but the premise grabbed me. I look forward to reading it!<br /><br />Carl - well, you must make this challenge so compelling, how could ignore it?

I...I'm too much of a baby to read horror books! It's sad, isn't it? However, from the ones you listed, here are the ones I managed to read:<br /><br /><br />Let the Right One In - Haven't read, but heard it was good. (The Swedish movie based on it, according to the boy, was WEIRD. America is apparently doing THEIR adaptation this year)<br /><br />The Shadow of the Wind - Love, love, LOVE this book. One of my top 5 of all time. <br /><br />The Angel's Game - This one was okay. A bit of a letdown, compared to TSofW, however still brilliantly written. <br /><br />The Woman in White - Read it in college - it was...okay. Kind of boring. Did you know they once did a play on broadway based on it? <br /><br />The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane - Want to read it! Looks so good!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04349631448644661717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-46601938117931643262009-08-26T08:21:24.088-04:002009-08-26T08:21:24.088-04:00Another vote for Shadow of the Wind from me, altho...Another vote for Shadow of the Wind from me, although maybe you should read The Angel's Game first. <br /><br />Resistance is futile!
