It is the scariest one in the hive. ;) says the scaredy cat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-best-book-youve-read-recently#post-1842105 Fri, 29 Aug 2014 12:25:31 +0000 .twist. 1842105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SleepyMonkey: AH! This is great to hear, I've been wanting to read it and you're the second person I know, now, who has read it and enjoyed it! :D thanks!</p> <p>@808love: haha, Brave &amp; stupid waver on a fine line. ;) I kind of go out of my way to find scary things. I haven't read/watched much that has ever scared me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-best-book-youve-read-recently#post-1842093 Fri, 29 Aug 2014 12:17:05 +0000 Mae 1842093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we have different taste in books! I didn't care that much for Unbroken. I thought it was okay but it wasn't a super compelling read for me. I felt like she could've shaved 100 pages off to make a more concise story that would've been more interesting. </p> <p>And my favorite recent book was Where'd You Go Bernadette (which I think I remember you said you didn't care for!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-best-book-youve-read-recently#post-1842076 Fri, 29 Aug 2014 12:06:50 +0000 SleepyMonkey 1842076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: I just read that too! But it was my third time reading it. I think its such a great, creepy book. Before that, I read doctor sleep, which is the sequel to the shining. Its about Danny as an adult and I thought it was excellent as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-best-book-youve-read-recently#post-1841929 Fri, 29 Aug 2014 10:13:10 +0000 808love 1841929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: wow!! You are very brave. The hallway is the freakiest scene ever. I think the setting was a takeoff on the awhanee hotel and the Yosemite area. We are staying at Yosemite's Wawona but I have flashbacks of the movie ( I don't like scary stuff!) even at the online pics of the sister hotel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-best-book-youve-read-recently#post-1841908 Fri, 29 Aug 2014 10:06:23 +0000 .twist. 1841908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@808love: Is that where they filmed the movie? That would be kinda creepy! I have seen it and was never much of a fan. I watched it recently after the book and I think I can appreciate it a little more, but it never did scare me when I was younger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-best-book-youve-read-recently#post-1841884 Fri, 29 Aug 2014 10:00:21 +0000 808love 1841884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: did u watch the movie? Creepy!! We are going to Yosemite this year and it just creeps me out to stay in the hotel there!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-best-book-youve-read-recently#post-1841871 Fri, 29 Aug 2014 09:54:04 +0000 .twist. 1841871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since being back at work I've finally gotten to really get into some books, so I haven't read much in the past year. The most recent book that I could not put down was The Shining by Stephen King. I am a, recently, big fan of his! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-best-book-youve-read-recently#post-1841857 Fri, 29 Aug 2014 09:42:40 +0000 808love 1841857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How Much is Too Much? It is about raising your kids without overindulging and solid structure.
