Halloween Bingo - Final Update & my last Bingo!

 

My final bingo is the last row on the bottom. I was trying to finish one more book for the four corners & center bingo, but I ran out of time. As usual, Halloween Bingo was a huge hit and loads of fun. Thanks for OB & Moonlight for hosting and doing such an amazing job as always. You guys are fabulous.

Ghost Story by Peter Straub

Review:

 

 

 

What was the worst thing you've ever done?

- first sentence

 

This is a terrifically terrifying story. I love the way the tension builds slowly. We know something terrible happened in the past, but we aren't quite sure what. We also know something even more terrible is coming. The feeling of claustrophobia grows as the story continues and the town is closed off from the outside world. The evil is frightening and stays with you even after you put the book down.

 

The prologue was a bit confusing, but it made more sense once I got to the end of the book. I actually went back and reread the prologue and understood it much better.

 

I read this one for the Ghost Stories square and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good supernatural square.

Review:

 

 

 

 

Without a doubt, the most insidious dangers were the ones that hid in plain sight, camoflaging themselves inside the minds of rational men.

- first sentence

 

 

At 100 fathoms, sunlight no longer penetrates the ocean. This book combines the tension of being in a US submarine inside Russian borders during the cold war and being trapped in a submarine with deadly supernatural creatures.

 

I thoroughly enjoyed this one. The audio is well done and I spent most of my spare time this past weekend listening to it. The tension starts early and doesn't let up. The worst (best) part is, the reader knows there is something creepy hiding on the sub while the crew is clueless and just thinks a couple people are sick or maybe someone is losing it.

 

I read this one for the Fear the Drowning Deep square.

Halloween Bingo Tracking Post #16 - second bingo!

I've been busy and haven't read as much as I planned to, but after 15 days, I finally have another update - and a second bingo!! Hopefully, I can get at least one more (maybe two) before the end of the month, but my hopes of a blackout have been pretty much dashed. :(

Oh well, I did much better than the past times I played. :)
