Not just daytime but maybe outside! It is very creepy but I think it’ll be worth it for you to work up the nerve, Shell.

I *did* read that as BIGT*TS, which reminds me of my favorite Twitter moment of last Christmas. Someone tried to start the hashtag #letitsnow, which, of course, morphed into “Le T*ts Now” instead of “Let it Snow.” Christmas carols will never be the same.

Yikes, I don’t know if I have the nerve for this one!! I’ll have to turn on the nightlight after reading those few paragraphs alone. But it sounds hard to resist. Maybe I’ll work myself up to it. For daytime reading only. Thanks for the wonderful review, PCN!

I have no doubt you would pass the challenge, since you’re Nerves O’Steel yourself. HYPNOTIST should be first. BIGTS (careful not to misread that as BIGT*TS) is not scary, just…claustrophobic.

That, Nails, sounds suspiciously like a dare. Thusly, I will wait to get The Hypnotist from the library (third in line) and read them one after the other. Which, as you know, goes directly against the grain of my “hoard good books” nature as well as the current reading regime. But for you, the world. Which should be first?

Naomi – I’ll tell you when I’m ready to read it and we’ll meet half-way in a well-light coffeeshop and read together.

Lauren---If you read this and BIGTS back to back, you won't get any sleep! Naomi---I think the daystand is a good idea. There are other creepy scenes like this. jenn---Did you click on the link so you can at least read 13 chapters? I think that will make you REALLY want to read more so you might as well just get the book! Reader#9---Mr. PCN said he's never heard me be so loud while reading a book. I kept gasping and shouting at it. "Noooo!!" happened quite a few times. Poncho---I can't read Swedish, either! The book should have been translated into Spanish and released by Planeta. Does that help?

I heard about the novel, and now I’m quite excited to read it. Sounds really fantastic! I hope it’s already translated to spanish (you know, I still can’t read swedish…)

Going to the bookstore ASAP!

Yikes! Yes, I actually said YIKES! while reading that passage. Don’t know how the rest of the book reads, but that one got me hooked.

This one is on my nightstand, and after reading that scene, I think I need a daystand for this book. How creepy that scene is.
