Read-a-thon results

Well, I did read more than usual, but I didn't nearly read as much as I wanted to.

I read about 100 pages in Dan Brown's Angels & Demons, half of The Book of Awesome, and a chapter or two in Agatha Raisin and the Vicious Vet.

I was hoping to finish at least one book, but I'm happy I made some progress.  :)

Autumn Read-a-Thon 2013

Some years I devour books, some years... not so much.  This has been a slow year for me.
The last book I finished was in August.  I did read in September, but I didn't finish any books.

I'm signing up for Dewey's read-a-thon so I can perhaps make a little progress and get back into the habit of reading more often.

I will NOT be able to read for the whole 24 hours, but I pledge to read as much as possible (that is my only goal for this read-a-thon).   :-)

Read in August

Uncle Montague's Tales of Terror

From Amazon: "This spine-tingling novel has more than enough fear factor for the most ardent fan of scary stories. Uncle Montague lives alone in a big house, but regular visits from his nephew, Edgar, give him the opportunity to recount some of the frightening stories he knows. As each tale unfolds, an eerie pattern emerges of young lives gone awry in the most terrifying of ways. Young Edgar begins to wonder just how Uncle Montague knows all these ghastly tales. This clever collection of stories-within-a-story is perfectly matched with darkly witty illustrations by David Roberts.
Look for the other spine-tingling book in Chris Priestley's Tales of Terror series, Tales of Terror from the Black Ship!"

I loved this book.  All of the stories were unpredictable, and creepy without being too scary.  I plan on reading the next book soon.
