    That's a great list of books! I really wanted to read Frankenstein this year, but I am not thinking I will get to it.

    Hm...you know, the only Stephen King book I've read is his book about writing. And it will probably stay that way. I don't read horror for a reason.

    Rebecca and The Thirteenth Tale made my list too. I loved both of those books, especially Rebecca.

    I want to read Dracula and Frankenstein, but I didn't even think of them when I was making up my list. *rolls eyes*

    I liked Dracula well enough but not my favorite. The Historian was fantastic! The Graveyard Book is excellent, and what is even better is listening to Neil Himself reading the story (audiobook). Coraline is rather creepy...pretty scary for a kids book, I think. I have yet to read The Thirteenth Tale - need to. Your list is great.
