I'm done with Merry Merry Ghost and (for the third time) starting Hush, It's a Game by Patricia Carlon. It's an Australian thriller from the 1960s about a little girl whose single father is called out of town a couple of days before Xmas and leaves her with a neighbor; he doesn't know the neighbor has a criminal past and on Xmas Eve her old boyfriend comes back to settle a score and shoots the woman dead. So now the little girl is locked in the babysitter's kitchen with nobody to know she's trapped, there's a telephone but it's just an extension without a dial, trying desperately to get somebody's attention before the killer comes back and finds her there. I love this book
Are Mary and Carol Higgins Clark going to have a new Xmas mystery this year? So far all I've seen is a 1-volume reprint of Deck the Halls + The Christmas Thief
Ohhh, this thread is right up my alley! I just started to try to read "Blindness" by Jose Saramago again. I tried to read it once before but it was just so all over the place and I couldn't get through it. Recently a friend and I were talking about the movie and he happened to have the book so I borrowed it. It seems much easier to get through this time around. I'm thinking I have less on my mind/can concentrate better. I really liked the move so I have even higher hopes for the book.
I've just started "Under The Dome" by Stephen King, at 1072 pages I figure it's great arm exercise just holding the thing while I read! This should take me right through the Hols easily.
I just finished reading Breathless by Dean Koontz. I honestly don't know why I bother with his books anymore. This one was exceptionally awful - the ubiquitous fabulous dog, the cookie cutter man & woman main characters, the typical bad guy that acts like every other DK bad guy - and the ending sucked, it just...ended.
I'm done, this time I MEAN IT!!
I just wish...he would write another Lightning. Or Watchers. Or Strangers again. Man, I loved those 3 books. ****, I'd take another Phantoms, Whispers or The Bad Place!

I used to love Dean Koontz. But then I started reading this one book (I forgot the name now) and all of a sudden..it turned into this scary alien story!! Scared the crap out of me!!!! I had nightmares for days..and I never finished the book!! Ever since then, I've stayed away.
