It Was Her House First | Cherie Priest

so-so

A bit slow for me but an okay haunted house

Hunted | Darcy Coates

pick

This had a bit of a slow start, but once you hit the 40% mark it takes off and it has that action packed edge of your seat pacing which is so fun. I really enjoy Darcy Coates thrillers the most and I love survival horror. 4.5⭐️

Night Shift | Stephen King

pick

I love Stephen king. There‘s nothing more cozy than a rainy/snowy day and sitting on the couch reading a King novel. While I‘ve read a couple of these stories before, most of them I never have. And these are OG King!

Like any short story compilation, there are hits and misses. It was fun reading the ones that‘ve been made into movies (Lawnmower Man I had to look up, because that movie‘s only similarity is the title. Apparently King…

Lauranahe sued them to have his name removed from the title because of that!). And, like any old school King, there are some slurs and offensive language we don‘t use any more. I just take a breath, cringe, and move on.

They‘re good, classic Stephen King. Understand the time it was written, navigate the offensive stuff, and buckle in for the ride. And if you‘re chonky like me, try not to be offended at his clear disdain of fat people. 5h

Victorian Psycho: A Novel | Virginia Feito

I was disappointed with this month‘s Aardvark selections and was going to skip. Tracy‘s review of the tagged book had me curious, but leery. Then I saw that Scott said it was one of his favorites this year and how am I supposed to resist that? I added a book that I didn‘t pick up in July (you know, when I was trying to be good and only pick one).

vivastory, TracyReadsBooks

ChaoticMissAdventures I am going to get the tagged also, then I think I am going to cancel. I haven't been super impressed the last couple of months. 6h

vivastory I was def tempted to get the signed copy! I hope you like it, it's def an over-the-top novel. I selected Janet Edwards' Canticle for my main pick & then added Jo Harkin's The Pretender as an add-on. I've been in the mood for historical fiction & I'm hopeful they scratch the itch. I have heard great things about Masquerade. 6h

DGRachel @vivastory When you, @TracyReadsBooks , @DebinHawaii , and @Reggie all recommend a book, I have to at least give it a try. I don‘t make the rules. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I waffled on Canticle. I look forward to seeing what you think of it. 6h

DGRachel @ChaoticMissAdventures I took a break from them for about 18 months. This is the first month that I struggled to find anything I wanted. It‘s always interesting to me to see how other people feel about the selections. 6h

DebinHawaii Hah! I went back & forth whether to put it on my #AuldLangSpine list & ultimately decided not to because I didn‘t know how gentle a reader my match would be. 😂 That being said, I really enjoyed it & I‘m glad I‘m in such good company! 😎 (I probably would have gotten the signed copy had I been awake & looking at Aardvark earlier before it sold out. #peskytimezones 6h

TracyReadsBooks I‘ll be very interested to see what you think! Like I said, there is more than one “what the what did I just read?!?” moments but at no point did I want to put it down. It‘s dark and gloomy and very Victorian…really well-written too. 🫣 1h

The Butcher's Daughter: The Hitherto Untold Story of Mrs. Lovett | David Demchuk, Corinne Leigh Clark

Victorian Psycho: A Novel | Virginia Feito

My December Aardvark box. The tagged book is supposed to be a signed copy. I am having second thoughts about Itch, but it does sound interesting. #aardvarkbookclub

MaleficentBookDragon I got twitchy just looking at the cover for Itch! I‘m terrified of ants and have a few skin fears/issues so that one was an immediate no for me. I‘ll be curious to hear how it is.

Itch!: The Darkly Feminist Horror Novel Crawling Under Your Skin for Halloween 2025

DeeLew @MaleficentBookDragon I also have a phobia of ants and anything crawling on my skin so I may regret it. I‘ll let you know how it is! 9h

25 Days | Per Jacobsen

I‘ve started this today. It‘s an advent calendar type of mystery where you read one chapter a day for 25 days.

BarkingMadRead So fun! I got two books like that, a romance and a mystery, and an ebook that‘s horror but hasn‘t been delivered yet. Such a fun concept 11h
