Sunday’s in Bed is hosted by Kate at Midnight Book Girl to share with everyone what you’re reading in bed Sunday morning before getting to the days activities.
Today I’m going to be reading Chain Letter by Christopher Pike. This is going to be my first feature for the Bloggers Dressed in Blood event that Kate, Steph and Danielle and I are hosting in October. It’s going to be a lot of fun so you should definitely stop by and check it out!
I’ve read this book a million times, but the last time I read it was all the way back in high school. I really hope it lives up to all the awesomeness that I remember it being back then.
I’m also really curious about how much I remember (and how accurate it is) so I’ve written down everything I remember about Chain Letter so that I can see how good (or bad) my memory is.
The Packers don’t play until Monday this week so once I get home from all the stuff I am doing early in the day I will be able to curl up with Chain Letter with some football in the background.
That is a great idea! Next time I re-read a book that I haven’t read in a really long time I’ll do that. Of course, when it comes to Pike books, there’s very few that I haven’t re-read fairly recently. One of the Readathons I participated in when I was first blogging, I ordered several Pike books that I didn’t have (the Tales of Terror short story collections, volume 1 & 2) and it was awesome re-reading those!
I loved rereading it and comparing it to my what I remembered. And of course as it’s Pike it was a great reread!
That sounds like a great day. I did some blog stuff and went shopping (my least favorite activity) but now I’m watching the Emmys. See you around soon!
It was a great day! And shopping is not my favorite either, unless of course we are going to a book store…
That sounds really cool! I love the idea of going back and reading books that you loved before and seeing how accurately you remember them! Of course in reality I’ve only done it a couple of times and both times the books didn’t live up to my nostalgia. But I’m sure you will have a great time with yours!
Yeah I was afraid it wouldn’t live up to my nostalgia, but this one did. But I’ve read others that didn’t.
Don’t think I’ve ever read a Pike book, but remember that they should like crazy at the bookstore I worked in. Looking forward to your feature!
I was one of those people back in the day! I pretty much stalked the book store for Pike books.
I just ordered a used copy of this last week and am so excited! I loved Christopher Pike and I would have kept my copies but my mother (urg!) threw them out while cleaning out the attic. I should be getting my copy this week! Woohoo!
I “grew up” and got rid of all my copies. Big mistake. I’m not sure I’ll ever reread all of them because I can think of a few that probably wouldn’t hold up, but this one was a success and I hope you enjoy your reread just as much.
I can’t wait for your review of this and I’m psyched for Bloggers Dressed In Blood.
It’s going to be great!
I know I read Chain Letter (and LOVED it!), but I don’t remember anything about it! So it’ll be very cool to see if what you remember is correct! Hope you had a great weekend!
I remembered a bit too much (you’ll see what I mean in my review).
