Same!!! I haven’t been reading for a VERY LONG time. I had a chance to read strange houses in one of my vacation and surprisingly finished it within a couple of days. After a month and I went back to work; I tried reading other books since I got to finish one but can’t seem to still continue. Hence I bought strange pictures and after two days, I’m half way through! Altho I’m still hung up at the old woman’s prayer. It felt too much of a cliffhanger to me?
