Happy Friday!! (7)

Happy Friday everyone!  I have the day off today so I am super excited for a three day weekend! 

The Book Blog Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Jen at Crazy for Books.

This week's question is: 
“What is your favorite spooky book (i.e. mystery/suspense, thriller, ghost story, etc.)?”

My favorite spooky book is The Shining by Stephen King.  I read it in Junior High and it still scares me to think about it!  The book is way scarier than the movie and I remember reading it when I was home by myself and being completely freaked out. 

What's your favorite spooky book?

Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee's View and Alison Can Read.
This week's question is:  If you could have characters from a particular book meet and form an epic storyline with characters from a particular TV series, which would you choose and why?

I would have the characters from the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning join up with the cast of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.  I think Mac and Buffy could kick some series butt together and Angel and Barrons would be a smoking hot team.  This team would have no trouble saving the world from all kinds of demons and unseelie.

Have a great weekend!

    I've not read the Fever series, but Buffy kicking butt is always good! :D

    I think King is going to be the big name when it comes to this. I have to say that although his books have never scared me, they are good about atmosphere. I agree with Amber on the Fever/Buffy thing.

    I think The Shining is one of King's scarier books too. It scared me more the second time I read it a few years ago.

    I have The Shining in my To-Read pile ... naturally, I keep putting it off. I always remember that Friends episode where Joey has to put it in the freezer because it scares him so much. Maybe I'll wait until there's more room in my freezer! :-)

Review: "Oleanna" by Julie K. Rose

Synopsis:  Set during the separation of Norway from Sweden in 1905, this richly detailed novel of love and loss was inspired by the life of the author's great-great-aunts. Oleanna and her sister Elisabeth are the last of their family working their farm deep in the western fjordland. A new century has begun, and the world outside is changing, but in the Sunnfjord their world is as small and secluded as the verdant banks of a high mountain lake. The arrival of Anders, a cotter living just across the farm's border, unsettles Oleanna 's peaceful but isolated existence. Sharing a common bond of loneliness and grief, Anders stirs within her the wildness and wanderlust she has worked so hard to tame. When she is confronted with another crippling loss, Oleanna must decide once and for all how to face her past, claim her future, and find her place in a wide new world. My Thoughts:   I was very surprised by what an absolutely beautiful story Oleanna is.  The ...

Review and Giveaway: "Distant Signs" by Anne Richter

Synopsis: Distant Signs is an intimate portrait of two families spanning three generations amidst turbulent political change, behind and beyond the Berlin Wall. In 1960s East Germany, Margret, a professor’s daughter from the city, meets and marries Hans, from a small village in Thuringia. The couple struggle to contend with their different backgrounds, and the emotional scars they bear from childhood in the aftermath of war. As East German history gradually unravels, with collision of the personal and political, their two families’ hidden truths are quietly revealed. An exquisitely written novel with strongly etched characters that stay with you long after the book is finished and an authentic portrayal of family life behind the iron curtain based on personal experience of the author who is East German and was 16 years old at the fall of the Berlin Wall. Why do families repeat destructive patterns of behaviour across generations? Should the personal take precedence over...

Mailbox Monday (49)

It's time for another Mailbox Monday post!  Once again I could not resist the cheap ebooks that Amazon and Barnes and Noble were promoting this week.  I really need to stop!  I already have more than I can read.  I also was able to spend a little time browsing at the library and I came home with a nice stack of books.  These days, I hardly ever get to spend time at the library by myself for more than a minute or two so it was wonderful to have time to just wander and see what I could find. Purchased (for kindle): The Color of Secrets by Lindsay Ashford The One I Was by Eliza Graham House of Bathory by Linda Lafferty   Purchased (for nook): One Night in Winter by Simon Sebag Montefiore  Becoming Queen Victoria by Kate Williams From the Library: The Messenger by Daniel Silva   The Ripper's Wife by Brandy Purdy Hotel Moscow by Talia Carner Brazen by Katherine Longshore What books did you get...
