Can't believe we're at the end of another read-a-thon! It went by way too fast and I didn't get much reading done unfortunately. I did get started on The Strain by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan and it's shaping up to be a right scary read. Delicious!
One note on this time around...the Twitter chats did not work out well this time. I noticed that they have fallen off each time so I'm thinking of retiring the chats. If you'd like to weigh in on this, please leave a comment.
I hope everyone enjoyed Spring into Horror! I'd like to thank everyone who participated and also the authors who generously donated prizes.

I just finished reading Bram Stoker's "Dracula". This was my second time reading this novel. The first time I read "Dracula" was in the 8th grade (over 10 years ago. Whew!). I think I enjoyed reading it the second time, even though the element of surprise wasn't there anymore. Has anyone else ever read a novel twice?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, especially books you read at school, you get more out of a novel the second time :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting again :)
ReplyDeleteI don't used the twitter chat because my twitter profile is private, and I don't think people can see what I chat about because of that?
I didn't do as well as I usually do :-(
ReplyDeleteThe page count was there but the horror was missing. I did start the book, I just didn't start it soon enough to finish. I had to put it down between stories.
I don't do the twitter chats so I don't think I should have any say in what you do with them.
THANK YOU for hosting!
I read lots of novels twice! Some times I'll read the series starting from the beginning when a new book comes out.
ReplyDeleteThanks for another great week! Overall, I was pretty happy with my results.
ReplyDeleteI made one of the Twitter chats, and completely missed the last one after a crazy day of traveling. I like Twitter chats personally.

ReplyDeleteI just got my wrap up posted. I was supper late with this one due to finals. Thanks for hosting. My results weren't too bad.
