OK...
Here's what I read this week:
Assaulted Caramel by Amanda FlowerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was an intriguing mystery, with some fascinating characters, and a well-paced plot. I didn’t fully figure out the details of the murder before they were revealed either – though I was on the right track – which is great. Some of the things the main character did seemed to be done purely to put her in the right place at the right time though, which was a little irritating, and is the only thing stopping me from giving it the full five stars.
Glimpses by Hugh W. RobertsMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a great collection of unique stories, usually with an unexpected twist to the tale. The stories are often a bit creepy, and not for the squeemish, so be warned. If you like that kind of thing though, you'll enjoy this book.
More Glimpses by Hugh W. RobertsMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is another great collection from this author. The stories are unique and well-written, often with great twists, and always with fantastic characters. If you love tales of the weird or creepy, this book is for you.
Macabre Sanctuary by Staci TroiloMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a great collection of well-written stories, guaranteed to give you thrills and chills. As with most collections like this, some of them appealed to me more than others. However, they were all enjoyable reads in their own ways.
The Playground by C.S. BoyackMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is a kind of dark and creepy read, with a fast paced and action-packed plot, as well as a cast of compelling characters. If you enjoy books that fit that description, you should read this one.
As for what I've been watching:
I watched 1 DVD this week. I'd planned to watch more, but never mind. Anyway, I watched the next disk of NCIS season 10. So I'm now a third of the way through that season. Four more disks to go, and then I'll have to watch something else for a while, until I can get more NCIS. I've got no shortage of options though, even if most of them are movies I've seen before (many of the movies in my to-watch pile are ones I've seen before at some point - in some cases more than once - but not watched my DVD copy of).

Sounds like you were in the mood for creepy--LOL! I get in the mood for my murder mysteries, too. :)
Rita:
Yeah, I do seem to have been in a "creepy reads" mood this week, don't I? LOL!
Hmmm. As Rita said, Creepy! I'm into murder but not the creepy kind!
Jeanie:
With me it depends on my mood, as you can probably tell by the theme going on here.
