Okay, just a list here, pretty far behind and I'm starting to think that this blog thing just isn't for me.
The Ghosts of Sleath - James Herbert - not so great actually - this will be the absolute last book by Herbert I read. Felt pretty annoyed with myself for even bothering to finish this one. There were some great creepy classic ghosty details in here, and even some amusing things with the local pub, but I kept waiting for something to happen, waiting and waiting and waiting. It wasn't scary to me at all, just mildly interesting enough to keep me turning pages....still, last Herbert.
The Woods are Dark - Richard Laymon. Classic Laymon. I absolutely loved it! I absolutely can't remember a thing about it! But, I absolutely loved it!
Winter and Night - S. J. Rosen DNF Tried, seems like it was well written, just don't care that much about the high school football angle and not a big police procedural person.
One Grave Too Many - Beverly Connor. Loved it! Diane Fallon this time and I think I am starting to see a difference (subtle) between Diane and Lindsey (Connor's other almost identical heroine). This book was exciting, interesting - smart heroine.
Winter Study - Nevada Barr DNF Threw this down in disgust about 15-20 pages away from the ending. I didn't even stick around to find out who did it. Just mad at myself for wasting my time with it. Very poorly written and the plot felt forced. I love Nevada Barr, but this book reminds me of her other disaster of a book
Liberty Falling.

The Woods ARE dark. And so is Laymon. Also don't remember what it's about. But I'm sure I loved it. It is, after all, L-A-Y-M-O-N! Laymon, Resurrect thyself!
