It was appropriately creepy! Whether or not the house was "the house," it matched my imagination.<br /><br /><b>Iliana</b> - I love long books, but strangely, this one didn't really feel long.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-69173135311346346182011-04-10T10:23:48.564-05:002011-04-10T10:23:48.564-05:00I almost started this one last night but put it of...I almost started this one last night but put it off for a shorter book! haha...

I am a huge fan of The Witching Hour btw. One of the best dark fanatsy books I have ever read.

A Discovery of Witches is much lighter fare and not really scary or creepy (or at least not in any sense as dark and creepy as TWH) but still an enjoyable experience!jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-91855411903670522522011-04-06T10:48:35.948-05:002011-04-06T10:48:35.948-05:00This does sound intriguing!

(Running the very real risk it won't come in until two months after the challenge ends. :p) It looks like fun, and I'll just remember to be prepared for a semi-unfinished ending.Jennyhttp://jennysbooks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
