Spring into Horror Update #3: Finished two more books, so that's six so far. PLEASE REMAIN CALM was so intense and blew me away! GENESIS is sci-fi and very good if you like dystopia. Now starting THE LOVELY BONES and I AM LEGEND #Readathon #SpringHorror @truebookaddict pic.twitter.com/fb5dagSHfF

#SpringHorror Update #7: I finished FLU by Wayne Simmons this morning, so that's ten so far. I'm disappointed! The best thing about the book is it's cover!! I need a break from zombies, so I'm reading a classic: WHITE FANG by Jack London #Readathon @truebookaddict pic.twitter.com/ci2RdvQRYc
