I got about a chapter in. Hoping to get some more read today.
I'm enjoying it so far. It's funny and I like the style. :)

So far so good!

I love Bongo too!

After a slow start, the pace picked up and I started to enjoy it. I like the writing and the humor.

Where are you in the book? I am half-way though.

Not quite that far. I've just found the bald with the rocks.

I loved how she kept trying to convince herself it was all perfectly normal. :lol:

Oh yeah, that's Moonshine Mountain. :lol2:

Do you find the book scary? I don't find it scary, which is a good thing...

Ok, I finished it! I liked it, but it wasn't a "wow" book.

I'm always on the lookout for a book that can scare me (no real luck so far), so I'm never a good judge on whether or not a book is scary.

Needless to say, nope. :lol:


It's interesting, and I like Mouse more now than in the beginning.


I'm currently hiding behind the counter with Foxy. Hopefully I'll have it finished soon. :)

:lol:

I love that this is very fairy-esque. There just isn't enough fairy horror out there. 8)


I really thought I'd be done by now. I'm currently locked up with Foxy and Bongo. Hopefully I can finish it soon!

Yes, it isn't very scary although some scenes are intense. I also love its fairy-esque aspect.
