The Last All-Night Book
 By Jackie Kessler Yesterday, I played hooky. Just a little. At one point, I stopped doing day-job things so that I could finish Joe Hill’s Heart-Shaped Box. At another point in my life, this would have been the book that I stayed up all night to finish reading. (Now with two young kids, that just ain’t too practical.) I loved, loved, loved this book — it sucked me in with its writing, its characters, its holy-s*** scary bad guy. Terrific horror novel. I’m sure there are many other books out there that have caused us to lose more than a little sleep, thanks to us choosing to read instead of snooze. So tell me: what’s the last all-night book you’ve read? (And now, an emoticon from my Precious Little Tax Deduction, The Elder, who just woke up — see what I mean about me not able to stay up all night anymore?) :!: 6 Responses to “The Last All-Night Book” |

The last book that caused me to have an all nighter was the current book that I’m writing. Other than that I haven’t stayed up all night since SEP’s Natural Born Charmer.

I haven’t had an all-nighter in a while, but my husband just stayed up for several nights to read The Count of Monte Cristo. Now I’m reading it, so I might get to that point soon…

I’m easy (and my kidlets are much older :grin: so I have more leeway). The Road to Hell kept me up. Suzanne Brockmann’s Into the Fire. Nalini Singh’s Hostage to Pleasure (me + ARC = happy). Nora Roberts’ Tribute… There have been a few in the past month or so, yes.

I loved Heart Shaped Box too! Great book. I think the last book that kept me up all night reading would have to be Countdown by Michelle Maddox. Very exciting and I loved that book. And I must say Jackie, YOUR books are stay up all night readers too!!!

I think Harry Potter 7 was the last all-night book I’ve read. I have to be up for work so early that I often have to force myself to put books down.

Oh I get pulled into those all night readers too much! Last one was a historical of Jillian Hunter THE LOVE AFFAIR OF AN ENGLISH LORD. Historical romance do that to me! I did that with her first book too like the week before with another book of hers because I was introduced to her books in a chat and I’m now hooked!
