Great choices! Haha, I loved your memes at the end – poor Eeyore! I hadn’t really thought of Beloved in this context, but you’re so right – it has some really terrifying stuff in it. And I totally agree that humans are often more scary than monsters! Thanks for linking back to my post! 😀
Thank you so much! 🙂 Glad I found this tag on your blog. It’s perfect!
Haven’t read the novel “Rebecca”, but have seen the original film, and I agree that Mrs. Danvers is horrible!
