So, I am not liking this book. Call me a wuss, but it's too creepy for me and honestly I just can't get into the story. It's currently on the shelf next to the bathtub at home and it's in good condition because I always remove the book jacket when I read hard cover books.Anyhow, I am tossing around the ideas of giving it away here on my blog - or putting it up on Bookmooch. If I were to give it away here, would any of you be interested? Leave me a comment if you would be and if I get enough interest, I'll hold a contest (well, leave a comment, get an entry, etc) when I get back home from my vacation.I am very sad that I am not enjoying the book. But it's been 2 months now and I have gotten about half way through it. I just can't read it.I know many people have this book already, and I don't know if many people even check my blog out regularly. But I thought I'd check here, first. So let me know if you would want the book and I'll go from there!
