I'm still knitting away on the witch's hat. I might try to get it done before Halloween. Or not. 

This week, I've been reading 3 Below by Patrick Carman.  It's the sequel to Floors, which we listened to on out last vacation. I think I liked the first book better, but that could be because I had to actually read this one myself in stolen bits of time instead of listening to it in the car as we spent hours driving through the desert.

I also read Dr. Merlin's Magic Shop to the boys. It's a cute little story about Nick, who likes walking on foggy days. He stumbles upon a magic shop and narrowly escapes having Burt scrambled with a black poodle. It's one of the few books from my childhood that all four of my kids have enjoyed.

That Dean Koontz book I was reading last week is back at the library. I decided it wasn't worth slogging through, not when there are so many more interesting things I want to read. Like the Cherry Ames book I found at the Friends of the Library book store this afternoon.

Anyone got a good haunted house book (hotel, apartment building, castle, whatever)  recommendation? It's been too long since I found a good one.
