Journey through the twisted minds of the central characters as they make their choices, and watch their lives spiral out of control. Hate them, empathise with them, and stay on your guard.

(thank you to Magali Studer for the drop cap!)

Following my happy announcement from a few months ago, life has gotten extra busy! I'm going to be rerunning a few classic posts on the blog from now until January; I'll miss some Insecure Writer's Support Group posts and checking in for A Round of Words in 80 Days, though I may try to note some updates in comments. And my Books Read in 2018 post will likely be delayed!

There was one of those games making the rounds a couple of weeks ago: Seven days to post a book you love without explanation, comment or review.

The House With the Clock in Its Walls and The Treasure of Alpheus Winterborn by John Bellairs

and, on the first day, The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien

First up, Diana Gabaldon promised me a Table of Contents in the next book!
