I am very nervous. About a couple of things.

First…

I am hosting my very first Twitter chat tonight! You might remember that I joined the fabulous blogging team at The Midnight Society way back when. Well, we have a book club where once a month we read a book and do a Twitter chat. The Midnight Book Club was started by the fearless Jennifer Brinkmeyer and, when she was unable to continue, the rest of us carried on in her honor.

I thought… I can do that! I can help! So I chose Mary: The Summoning by Hillary Mohahan for the April book.

The Twitter chat is tonight… TONIGHT!

Oh. My. Goodness. I might throw up.

What am I going to say? Am I going to run out of things to say? AN HOUR IS A LONG TIME! I’m finishing the book AGAIN today. I’ve got pages marked. I’ve got notes. I’ve got a head full of strange thoughts.

And I have no plan.

However, if you know me, you know this is normal. I’ll take all the ideas rattling in my head and wing it.

AND IT WILL BE FINE. NO WORRIES THAT THE AUTHOR WILL BE THERE!

That’s right! I asked Hillary Monahan to join me and SHE SAID YES!

So if you’re looking to watch me flounder and fangirl all at the same time…find me on Twitter tonight under the guise of @Mdnight_Society at 9 EST under #MidnightBooks.

Should be fun. Or weird. Or a total bust.

I’m just not sure.

But trying new things is good…right? RIGHT?

As for the second event approaching that has my nerves a-jumpin’… I’ll share on Thursday.

#SpookyAllYear, horror, horror book, Rin Chupeco, The Girl from the Well

I just finished a book…a FABULOUS book and wanted to share it with everyone on this day where we celebrate Spooky All Year with Faith McKay and The Midnight Society. Go visit them and add your own spooky post!

THE GIRL FROM THE WELL by Rin Chupeco

Told from the point of view of Okiku, a dead girl, we watch her change as she helps Tarquin deal with a rather nasty entity that has latched onto him.

This book! I can’t even…

The writing was fabulous. The omniscient point of view was strange and I felt a bit detached from the action, but it also fit because of the story being told by a ghost. Dude, ghosts aren’t limited by our human senses and see the world in a different way.

The images. The creepiness. The terrible woman in black on a hunt to kill.

Amazing stuff. I’ll never forget it.

Can’t wait to read Rin Chupeco’s other book THE SUFFERING!

Sharing my search for magic in everything.
