Spring is only 13 days away!  I'm officially sick of winter. For the record, I gave up on two books:
Horns by Joe Hill
Pagan Babies by Elmore Leonard

they did not grab my interest from the first three chapters. I'm usually a fan of thrillers but Horns...i don;t know...it bored me. if *anyone* can give me a reason to try them again, I'll give them another shake.

Comments down below, please.
