#HauntedShelf #GrimReaders

Book Cover Scavenger Hunt!
Find book covers that match the prompts. They can be from your own collection, from a bookstore or library, or from your e-book archive.

They are open to interpretation. For example ‘Orange‘ could mean an orange cover, the word orange, or the fruit orange.

15pts per cover found with a maximum of 465pts to earn. Post throughout October.

#HauntedShelf #GrimReaders Book Chain!
Teams create a chain or list of books where each book has something in common with the book before it, e.g.:
Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice – Dracula by Bram Stoker (Has a vampire character) - The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells (Published 1897 same year as Dracula) – The Witch King by Martha Wells (Surname is Wells)

Post each book as a new comment to the game post. 10pts per book. Infinite points

My #hauntedshelf is ready! #GrimReaders

I have a list of recommendations based on scare factor to satisfy every reader.

🔪 Strange Magic by Syd Moore - I love this series - unlikely sleuths, a witch museum, light romance, & a lot of feminism
🔪🔪 The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins - unreliable narrator meets psychological thriller
🔪🔪🔪 Misery by Stephen King - psychological thriller with the dial turned up + the gore too
🔪🔪🔪🔪 NOS4A2 by Joe Hill - scariest book I‘ve ever read

Happy Friday, #GrimReaders! We still have a while until the #HauntedShelf starts, but I wanted to share my Team Lead Picks so you can start planning your October reading. Of course I chose books where Death is a character!

You‘ll get 15 bonus points for reading any of these, on top of whatever other points they count for.

Who‘s ready to spooky dissociate from *gestures wildly*? There‘s still time to sign up for #HauntedShelf #GrimReaders ⬇️
