American Vampire, Volume 1 | Scott Snyder

pick

2 interwoven stories here: Snyder's is set in 1925 Hollywood and focuses on actress Pearl. Stephen King wrote the second which gives us the origin story of an 1880s Old West Outlaw, Skinner Sweet. It's a bit of a new twist on the vampire and the ones are vicious, not sparkly lovers.

Burial Rites | Hannah Kent

#currentlyreading “Burial Rites” by Hannah Kent for the #autumnreadathon, which is led by Mercedes from the YouTube channel MercysBookishMusings and goes from Sunday 22nd to Saturday 28th.
Since I won‘t really have time to read, I picked a book that fits almost all the challenges: gothic/spooky + cold location + historical fiction.

Her Body and Other Parties: Stories | Carmen Maria Machado

pick

Finished my second book for #AutumnReadathon—HER BODY AND OTHER PARTIES by Carmen Maria Machado. This completed the “Read a Short Story Collection” challenge.

I had heard so many wonderful things about this collection, I was worried it wouldn‘t live up to the hype. But I love this book. It was everything I hoped it would be and more. It‘s bold, unapologetic, and powerful.

moarbookspleaze So excited to read this! 7y

Valeka That is next in my TBR stack!! Can't wait! 7y

mspixxie Cant wait to tackle this one! 7y

Burial Rites | Hannah Kent

pick

Finished my first book for the #autumnreadathon last night! I loved every word of this and it‘s already a new favorite of mine. It‘s haunting and introspective, not to mention beautifully written, and it creates an almost tangible atmosphere in its Icelandic setting. Needless to say, I am firmly on the Hannah Kent train!

KarenUK Soooo good! 💕 7y

MrBook Nice review! 7y

Her Body and Other Parties: Stories | Carmen Maria Machado

Behold! My #TBR for @deweysreadathon and Mercedes‘ #AutumnReadathon. So many bookish events in such a short amount of time! 😱

You can watch me talk about my TBR, and the #readathon prompts that inspired them, over on my #BookTube channel. Are any of these books on your TBR?

TheBookAddict Evicted and A Man Called Ove are on my TBR. 7y
