Today, I’m grateful for Booking Through Thursday, both the original meme hosted by Deb and everyone who has been playing along for nearly a year now.
Whether you stop by every week, when the mood hits and time allows, or just once. I’m grateful to everyone for doing so. I’ve grown my blogging network, added to my TBR pile, and discovered books I otherwise wouldn’t have known about.
Thank you all for visiting and responding (even if it’s just in your head)!

Back in the day, my daughter rated scary books by the number of dogs needed on the bed while reading at night. Is it a two-dog read? A five-dog read? Since we only have two dogs, five-dog reads were saved for the light of day.
How about you? How scary is too scary? Does it depend on the number of dogs you have on hand?
How scary is too scary for you, on a scale from mildly spooky to the scariest in the horror genre?

This doesn’t have to be your favorite book or a comfort read. But is there a single book (or perhaps series) you’ve read more than any other? Maybe a cookbook, a religious text, or a favorite childhood story.
Let us know!
What’s one book you’ve read more than any other?
