Having just read the Wikipedia entry on this book, I've definitely done the right thing in deciding to bail on it!

BarbaraBB You probably did. It‘s a tough read though interesting in its political context. I‘m just not in the mood for that right now either. 2y
Cinfhen Smart move!! 2y
TrishB I haven‘t said the words yet, but probably will do. 2y

I do not handle scary books very well, but I remember reading Stephen King‘s Misery when I was in college and I loved it.

I really wanted to post a pic of Titus Andronicus (curses, cannibalism, dismemberment!) for today‘s post, but apparently I don‘t have a copy! But I do have three (why?) copies of Macbeth, which also fits the prompt. We‘ve got witches, prophecies, ghosts, madness, and regicide and infanticide - plenty of chills and thrills. 🧙🏻‍♀️👻🧟‍♀️🤴🏻🗡

Linsy Love Macbeth! 🔮 6y

I don't read a ton of #chillsandthrills but this is an insanely popular horror novel that I made it through. I do not get the hype and thought this was more ridiculous than scary. Also, just completely pretentious honestly, but I know I'm in the minority here. #riotgrams

I read this when I was 18, and now my daughter, who is now 18, is reading it too. Good books stick around.

I really enjoyed this murder mystery with Chief Inspector Gamache investigating in the small town of Three Pines. It‘s cosy and a little like Miss Marple meets Midsomer Murders in Quebec, with plenty of Scotch, Cinzano and brioche thrown in. A comfy but pacy read, just what I felt like. I picked it early on but that didn‘t spoil the #chillsandthrills & it still kept me guessing. Simple characters & plain writing but hits the mark. #uncannyoctober

Took well over 100 pages for some mild chills and minor thrills and I nearly bailed, but I'm chugging along. Burns has held my attention so I've got to know how this ends....

MrBook Love everything about this post! 😁👏🏻 6y
mrozzz @MrBook thanks!! 😄 Have you checked out this read? 6y
Librariana I'm with @MrBook on this one! Love the entire feel/composition of your picture - the eerie darkness of the background in contrast with the subtle spots of light... the pops of color from your nail polish and the book cover... even your determination to stick with the story. Two enthusiastic 👍👍 up! 😄 6y
mrozzz @Librariana thanks! That was my intention! ☺️ and definitely appreciate the encouragement 6y
MrBook Not yet. It's been on my radar though. 6y
