Summary -

Spent most of Friday and Saturday reading. Was seriously disappointed to find I didn't have the second book in the Rosemary Beach series by Abbi Glines. Would have sworn I did. No money at the moment to buy it either. Then I read Hopeless only to find I didn' have the next book in that series either. Thankfully I started back on the Wait for You series by J. Lynn and had books 1.5 & 2 so I felt good to go with that one. What's next? Who knows. Hope everyone in the US had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

So how was your week?

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. So go there to check out more info, link up and see the future topics.

This week's topic is:

Top Ten Books/Movies To Read Or Watch To Get In The Halloween Spirit OR Top Ten Characters Who I Would Totally Want To Be For Halloween

I'm going with Top Ten Books to Read to Get Into the Halloween Spirit

It by Stephen King - It is my alltime favorite Stephen King and still scares me to death!
Pet Semetary by Stephen King
Twilight Eyes by Dean Koontz, this still remains a favorite of mine because of the creepiness factor
Suffer the Children by John Saul - I loved his books in high school and there is a definite creepiness factor
Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake - awesome YA horror!
The Hallowed Ones by Laura Bickle - I haven't read this yet, but plan on reading it this week
Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by April Genevieve Tucholke - I loved this and it's perfect for Halloween
The Skull Ring by Scott Nicholson - Loved this one, really any of his books are great for Halloween but I love this one the most!
Isolation by Travis Thrasher - amazing, very scary and a great read.
The Shining by Stephen King - simply a great book involving a scary hotel and how things can get scarier when cabin fever hits.

Summary -
This is for two weeks since I forgot to post last week. Week one was an amazing reading week even with the whole day on Sunday spent crocheting. This past week started slow with a lot of tv watching Monday night. We are trying to finish up season 4 of The Walking Dead so we can watch the first two episodes of Season 5 and then start in with Season 5 next Sunday. And then there is The Voice which can't be missed. But I finished up the week on a reading binge by diving ito Beautiful Oblivion and Elite. Now I'm on and roll and should finish my audio of Black Ice today and can't wait to get into Ashes to Ashes to see how that series turns out!

So how was your week?
