Recently, I finished reading 'The Bell Witch' by John F.D. Taff.

The author takes a 200-year-old tale from the American Deep South and creates a tale rich with history and lore that is genuinely unlike any ghost story I have ever read. Check out my review here:

I'm very envious, Caitlin! I know that the author spent a lot of time in Tennessee researching this and pestering the good people of Adams for stories!

Just started Chris Carter's The Crucifix Killer and was hooked in less than 50 pages. Book two already ordered from the library.

Nearly finished the Mortal Instruments book 1. Trying to figure out how they get from where they are now to the ending of the film, or if they're going in a completely different direction.

If it's like some other page to screen deals, it might be best to keep separate :D

Lol its gotten to the point now where I think I can see how it'll get there. If it didn't end there, the second film would be all kind of messed up. I think we're going to end up in the same place.

Thanks !
