I am a big chicken. An even bigger chicken than I realized!
I was sitting on the couch Saturday night, Bob wasn't home yet, it was after 9:00, and I was reading a book I got from Praises...a Christian fiction...suspense about a murder. And I am enthralled with this book. It got really detailed, and I felt like I was there with the woman who was frantically trying to run away...Suddenly I became very very aware of the fact that it's now dark outside and the curtains are open and the windows are open and I'm alone. I couldn't even look at the windows! I tried calling Bob on his cell 5 times and he wouldn't answer! I was getting more and more creeped out. I couldn't even get off the couch because I felt like any movement would draw something my way....Then the phone rang...As soon as it rang, I picked it up, assuming it was Bob. Nope. It was Brad from church. I felt so dumb! I took comfort of the fact I was on the phone with SOMEONE and hurried up and got off the couch and went into the dining room, where I could see anyone coming from outside, yet was still fairly well hidden. Thankfully, not long after the phone rang, Bob pulled up. He wasn't allowed to leave my side for a good 15 minutes...and now I am only allowed to read the book when he's home. It's a really GOOD book though. Eyes of Elisha by Brandilyn Collins. GOOD GOOD book!
What can I say? I've always been a little over-dramatic!

A little over-dramatic? That is an understatement my dear child! Love Ya! Mom
I read "The Omen" on a summer night and it was around midnight when I got to the scary part about the cemetery.
Needless to say, I put the book down for the night and kept the light on for a while!!!

Randi, so glad you're enjoying Eyes of Elisha. Do keep the nightlight on. You should visit my web site and check out the Big Honkin' Chickens Club page. Sounds like you're a member, although a brave one, because you're reading the book. You're about to earn yourself a mouse pad. :)

I would read a scary book, but I'd fall asleep while reading it. :(
The last "scary" book I read was called "House". Miranda didn't think it was good. I thought it was creepy, but good.
