What books did you start/finish/make good progress on/totally neglect this weekend?
Re: Weekend Reading Update
I finally finished Snowblind. Took me a bit to get through because I just couldn't get into the story. I know it got great reviews here so I was excited to read it...but I didn't like it. Flame away lol..but I only gave it 2 stars.
I started Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children and am about 2/3 done. I am also enjoying this one. It is for SBC as well.

A few weeks ago I know someone on here was recommending this book. Can't remember who now and I know it good good reveiws. Not sure why I didn't like it, from the goodreads info it sounds good. Here is the blurb from goodreads:
In Christopher Golden’s first horror novel in more than a decade--a work reminiscent of early Stephen King--Snowblind updates the ghost story for the modern age.
The small New England town of Coventry had weathered a thousand blizzards...but never one like this. Icy figures danced in the wind and gazed through children's windows with soul-chilling eyes. People wandered into the whiteout and were never seen again. Families were torn apart, and the town would never be the same.
Now, as a new storm approaches twelve years later, the folks of Coventry are haunted by the memories of that dreadful blizzard and those who were lost in the snow. Photographer Jake Schapiro mourns his little brother, Isaac, even as---tonight---another little boy is missing. Mechanic and part-time thief Doug Manning's life has been forever scarred by the mysterious death of his wife, Cherie, and now he’s starting over with another woman and more ambitious crimes. Police detective Joe Keenan has never been the same since that night, when he failed to save the life of a young boy . . . and the boy’s father vanished in the storm only feet away. And all the way on the other side of the country, Miri Ristani receives a phone call . . . from a man who died twelve years ago.
As old ghosts trickle back, this new storm will prove to be even more terrifying than the last.

I love this series so much, but I am oddly eager to move on to something else!
