Today I opted for spooky viewing from my youth.

I'm reading Coup de Grace by Sofia Ajram. Quite a bleak novella so far!

A small pick up this week from the excellent Abstract Sprocket. The end of the month does seem to be quieter for me on the comic front.
Smaller pickup but fantastic books again this week. 😍

I started reading Coup de Grace yesterday, and I may well finish it today.
I decided to read some of the novellas in my TBR as they've been overlooked for too long.

I finished this today. I'm very much looking forward to book 2. The imagery in this book is just something else. I loved it.

I think the Paul Tremblay quote on the front really sums it up.

I've been hit with the lurg. 🙈
A good old cold, I've spent today doing very little. I'm hoping a bit of rest and sleep will see it off soon.

I really did enjoy House of Bones. Some bits I remembered and some I didn't.

I didn't keep mine either, but like you, I've spent a fortune buying my old favourites back and ones I never read.

Point Horror was great. They are definitely one of the reasons I'm such a horror fan.

I finished Halloween Night 2 last night.
It's not my favourite Point Horror, but it was fun.
Now I'm reading House of Bones by Graham Masterton. I read this a lot in my teens, looking forward to seeing if I still enjoy it as much as I did!

I finished reading Guilty today, a fun return(ish) to Nightmare Hall. I've decided to get ahead & read the October book & bonus book. Halloween Night 2 & House of Bones. I remember borrowing House of Bones a lot from the library in my teens. Looking forward to reading it again.

I finally finished reading Homicide. It's about two months, it's a fantastic book. It does as per the cover read like a thriller but it's all real.
I'm now playing catch-up with the Point Horrors before selecting my next book.

Back up to 4 sessions a week, including one PT every week to really help the rehab along.
Good session yesterday with my PT. Starting to go heavier on the weights.
Aiming to go train again this morning, it's also the last day of the summer hols. So lots to do today!

I'm still reading Homicide. I've struggled to read the last few weeks, but I've managed to get a few pages in every day. It is very well written.
I've also been reading more Robert Swindells with my daughter. We've just started Blitzed.
