Today I'm reading: The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins "My head leaning against the carriage window, I watch these houses roll past me like a tracking shot in a film. I see them as others do not; even their owners probably don’t see them from this perspective. Twice a day, I am offered a view into other lives, just for a moment. There’s something comforting about the sight of strangers safe at home." (page 1) " I remember the terror I felt when I saw her with Evie down by the fence. I think about that horrible, chilling little smile she gave me when I saw her outside the Hipwells’ house." (approximately page 46)

I have been meaning to read this one since it was first published. I haven't had a chance yet. I hope you are enjoying it. I am reading <a href="http://inside-dog.blogspot.com/2016/12/friday-memes-enemy-games-by-marcella.html">Enemy Games by Marcella Burnard</a> from my TBR mountain this week. Happy reading!

I checked this book out of the library but then I wasn't in the mood to read a scary story. I've heard good things about this book and will read it eventually. The excerpts you shared are good.
