It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

This weekly meme is hosted by Kathryn at Book Date.

I'm still reading:

This one has been sitting on my dusty bookshelf for so long, and Michelle at TuesBookTalk on Goodreads is hosting a read-a-long for October:

TITLE: 'Salem's Lot

AUTHOR: Stephen King

PUBLISHER: Signet

PUBLICATION DATE: August 1, 1976

FORMAT: Paperback

LENGTH: 427 pages

GENRE: Horror

ISBN: 9780451165886

Something strange is going on in Jerusalem's Lot ... but no one dares to talk about it. By day, 'Salem's Lot is a typical modest New England town; but when the sun goes down, evil roams the earth. The devilishly sweet insistent laughter of a child can be heard echoing through the fields, and the presence of silent looming spirits can be felt lurking right outside your window. Stephen King brings his gruesome imagination to life in this tale of spine tingling horror.

I'm listening to:

This is a re-read for me and a scary pick for October!

TITLE: The Exorcist

AUTHOR: William Peter Blatty

NARRATOR: William Peter Blatty

PUBLISHER: HarperAudio

PUBLICATION DATE: October 4, 2011

FORMAT: Unabridged audiobook

LENGTH: 12 hrs and 51 mins

GENRE: Horror

Four decades after it first shook the nation, then the world, William Peter Blatty's thrilling masterwork of faith and demonic possession returns in an even more powerful form. Raw and profane, shocking and blood-chilling, it remains a modern parable of good and evil and perhaps the most terrifying novel ever written.

I just finished:

I was in the mood for a cozy mystery, so I downloaded this one from my library on Hoopla.

TITLE: Hiss and Hers

SERIES: Agatha Raisin, Book #23

AUTHOR: M.C. Beaton

NARRATOR: Davina Porter

PUBLISHER: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

PUBLICATION DATE: September 18, 2012

FORMAT: Unabridged audiobook

LENGTH: 6 hrs and 24 mins

GENRE: Mystery/Cozy Mystery

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of everyone's favorite sleuth, M. C. Beaton's Agatha Raisin is as feisty as ever - armed with her famous wit and biting sense of humor. This time, though, there's some biting of a whole other sort going on.

Agatha has fallen head over heels in love - again. This time, she has her eye on the local gardener, George Marston, but so do other women in their little Cotswold village. Shamelessly determined, Agatha will do anything to get her man - including footing the bill for a charity ball just for the chance to dance with him. And then George doesn't even show up.

Only partly deterred, Agatha goes looking for him, and finds his dead body in a compost heap. Murder is definitely afoot, but this killer chose no ordinary weapon: A poisonous snake delivered the fatal strike. Rising to the occasion, Agatha rallies her little detective agency to find the killer, only to learn that George had quite a complicated love life. But murderously complicated? Well, if she can't have George, at least Agatha can have the satisfaction of confronting the other women and solving the crime.

TITLE: Dead Witch Walking

SERIES: The Hollows, Book #1

AUTHOR: Kim Harrison

NARRATOR: Marguerite Gavin

PUBLISHER: Tantor Audio

PUBLICATION DATE: June 27, 2007

FORMAT: Unabridged audiobook

LENGTH: 13 hrs and 14 mins

GENRE: Urban Fantasy

Rachel Morgan is a runner with the Inderland Runner Services, apprehending law-breakers throughout Cincinnati. She's also a witch, one of the many Inderlanders who revealed themselves after a genetically engineered virus wiped out 50 percent of humanity. Witches, warlocks, vampires, werewolves: the creatures of dreams and nightmares have lived beside humans for centuries, hiding their powers. But now they've stopped hiding, and nothing will be the same.

On the run with a contract on her head, Rachel reluctantly teams up with Ivy, Inderland's best runner...and a living vampire. But this witch is way out of her league, and to clear her name, Rachel must evade shape-changing assassins, outwit a powerful businessman/crimelord, and survive a vicious underground fight-to-the-death...not to mention her own roommate!

Fun, sassy, filled with action, humor, and romance, Dead Witch Walking is the perfect summer listen for anyone who likes vampires, paranormal fantasy, romance, or just a great beach book.
