That story freaked me out. <br /><br />I'll have to read The Lottery again as well. I've read The Monkey's Paw last weekend.<br /><br />Hope you are doing well!

But no, I won't say it's scary. Or maybe I just really don't scare very easily. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!

You can try as much as you want to, gather they will gather. Unless we need to go under Restrictions level 5 again and no-one is allowed to leave their houses. Can't see that happening though.<br /><br />For some or other reason (that I know but can't put on any social media platform), most news of actual importance in SA do not make International Head Lines. <br /><br />We are safe and well, the little town that we live in only had a couple of cases. The bigger city not that far away had quite a large number of cases and a few of the rural areas in our province was completely out of control. <br /><br />At this stage, we are still wearing masks and know that it's still "out there", but that's about it. Life and business as usual!<br /><br />Good to hear from you again! Hope you are still okay and safe.<br /><br />xoxoxoElza Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14147340976876251074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612320880156366525.post-39529111828542675202020-10-21T22:45:31.253+02:002020-10-21T22:45:31.253+02:00Oh my.

That was horrifying, but, like this book, in a psychologically horrifying way. <br /><br />Deb Nance at Readerbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128529491888701996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612320880156366525.post-91353371631983175072020-10-21T18:38:34.720+02:002020-10-21T18:38:34.720+02:00I've had this book sitting on my shelf for age...I've had this book sitting on my shelf for ages and still haven't read it. I'm not generally too good with scary books (I'm very easily scared!), but I can probably deal with being psychologically spooked! Hopefully I'll get around to reading it soon.<br />Great post!

Christmas gatherings don't look as though they are going to happen either, including family groups, so it is going to be a lonely time for a lot of people!<br /><br />I don't tend to take part in any 'readathons', as I can really only manage to make time commitments for Blog Tours / Review Tours. Quite a few of my blogging friends join up to multiple readathons and I always enjoy checking out their reading choices.<br /><br />I have never come across author Shirley Jackson before, but having gone away and checked out her books, I really should add her name to my list.<br /><br />How are things looking Covid wise in South Africa now, that's one place we never get to hear about on our UK news programmes? I hope you are keeping safe and well :)<br /><br />Yvonne xxYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.com
