Ah, I'm glad you enjoyed it! And a bit envious as you still have many books to read from him...

Currently reading Carlos Ruiz Zafon, the book's "Henkien labyrintti" in Finish so I guess it's "Labyrinth of spirits" or someting in English... Extremely addictive read... Know the feeling when you start "saving" a book because you don't want it to end?

That caught my interest, trying to check if I can order it from somewhere... Would love to read some horror after long time, something creepy and disturbing... Although last time I read horror I had to sleep with lights on

I ordered mine from Amazon....

Stories from'' The Selected Works Of Edgar Allan Poe''.....excellent stuff.

[Tarsier]

Well, since my friend worked for a while in Amazon, I'm kinda allergic to order anything from them...

But goood news! They're easing some covid measures, finally I can go to bookstore again tomorrow, can't wait!! Currently re-reading Murakami's "Kafka on the Shore", I had forgotten how beautifully written book that is...

Have just read ''The Loney''my second book (The Authors First Novel).by Andrew Michael Hurley..even better than ''Starve Acre'' (imho)..a.brilliantly unsettling debut novel,atmospheric and intense....I am awaiting his second novel ''Devil's Day''to arrive...cannot wait..

[Tarsier]

Was quite many people in the bookstore today... But I did find the "Starve Acre", it was the only book from that author in the store. Actually I read the back cover after I already bought it - now can't wait to start reading!
