Thank you so much @MaleficentBookDragon ! I was not expected two books! Looking forward to reading the Christopher Golden one first. Of course, Kaylee had to investigate the goodies as well!
so-soI read this like an advent calendar, one chapter a day during December. It might have been better in my case to have read it as a normal book to keep the momentum going as I found it quite underwhelming. It started off well but then went into the land of cuckoo. I didn‘t like the gratuitous violence, either. There were a few grey areas and although I don‘t mind an ambiguous ending or a ‘Carrie‘ style ending, this one didn‘t work for me.
Thank you, thank you, thank you @Yuki_Onna for all the chocolate and book - Lindt is my favourite and the nuts sound amazing. The book looks right up my alley too - I'm glad I stacked it 🤣😉

We each open a gift on Little Christmas Eve (today), tradition husband brought from Norway. This book is from my husband. One of only 1250 copies from first American edition in 1978, signed by the author and the artist. Husband just rocks!!
Love love LOVE this book! 😍 More than halfway done now, and I think it's fantastic! 📚💕
pickI read this for Cult Classics book club, and honestly I might not have finished it otherwise. Set in a Swedish suburb in the 1980s, the story follows Oskar, a relentlessly bullied 12-year-old, and Eli, his mysterious new neighbor who also happens to be a vampire. Vampires I can handle, but Eli's human companion is a pedophile and everything involving that man was stomach-churning, as was Eli's origin story. Apart from that, it was very good.

pickI devoured this! Don‘t be thrown by the cover, no creepy folks here. This is a book that‘s best to go into blind. Just know we start with a woman frantically trying to get to her family amid some kind of terrifying event. Very atmospheric and creepy, with a bit of gothic horror and traditional horror. I look forward to continuing this series-this does not end on a cliffhanger! 5⭐️
