Your Gran's obviously awesome! Rose Madder was my second after Pet Sematary and it sealed the deal. I love that book so much, I only read it once when I was 15 or so yet I still vividly recall so much of it.Quote:

I have 53 cousins but I was the only grandchild she would ever let stay at her house and we would stay up all night watching horror classics like the Blob and Hitchcock.Quote:

Welcome welcome hello and hiya Rose!:crow burp:
Welcome, Rose!
Your grandmother sounds...amazing. Man, nurturing a child's love for reading is the gift that just keeps on giving.Quote:

I luckily cancelled my sub right before all this shit went down but paid attention to the downfall through the newsletters and Facebook postings. Im assuming you guys saw the latest email? They "accidentally" had some charges made... :angry:Quote:
