I read it for the first time for last year's RIP challenge and was amazed at its brilliance. The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova is a good follow-up to it. <BR/><BR/>I'm reading Nocturnes myself, have been for months and just have a few stories left. Without a doubt it's one of the best supernatural anthologies I've ever read.

You've got some great picks on your list--I've heard a lot about Heart-Shaped Box recently! I'm currently reading Neverwhere by Gaiman and wish I had held out a little longer as it would have been perfect for this!<BR/><BR/>Have a great time!Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-32690241593592779382008-08-28T20:58:00.000-06:002008-08-28T20:58:00.000-06:00Carl - Thanks!!

And now with school started, it's right around the corner. Thank you again, for all your kind words. <BR/><BR/>Debi - Thank you. The kids are doing a lot better. I mean, he was 14, so it's not like it was totally unexpected. I mean, it kind of was. I know he was old, but I really thought I'd see signs of him diminishing before he died. Actually watching Rocko suffer through the days alone is breaking me heart almost more than the kids. He's been so sad and mopey. Tonight is actually the first he's seemed better. As far as the list goes, Ha! My TBR goes up exponentially during this challenge!! Surprisingly enough, I never did read Everything's eventual. And I can't wait! <BR/><BR/>Kelly - Right back at you! You have increased my TBR list by huge amounts!! I can't wait to read all the reviews from this challenge!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05055676171075203563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-73256687270575766542008-08-28T19:47:00.000-06:002008-08-28T19:47:00.000-06:00Great list!

Every ...Again, I'm so sorry about Ninja, Stephanie! Every time I've seen one of the kids with our dog today, I got a bit weepy thinking about how much your little sweeties must be hurting. And you too, of course. Wish I knew how to make it not hurt, but of course I don't. But know that there's lots of us thinking about you all.<BR/><BR/>On a much happier note, I've been so anxious to see your list! I knew I wouldn't be disappointed...so many good reads there. Can't wait to read all your reviews, even though that means my wish list will pay the price! By the way, I read the first couple stories from Everything's Eventual last year. The first one Autopsy Room Four is one of my all-time favorite short stories. It so gave me the willies, that a couple times I had to close the book for a minute to regroup...and that has never happened to me before!Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429881953804634592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-73889477860639384212008-08-28T16:09:00.000-06:002008-08-28T16:09:00.000-06:00I knew I could count on you to come up with a grea...I knew I could count on you to come up with a great and sizeable pool of books to choose from. Nicely done.<BR/><BR/>You summed up everything great about the fall in your opening. Makes me hunger for the true autumn weather even more!!! <BR/><BR/>I know it has been a rough week for you and your family. Again I'm very saddened for your loss.<BR/><BR/>I hope the challenge helps lighten things up a bit while allowing you to read some of the genre of books that you love so much.Carl V.
