pickSuch a creepy/atmospheric read, just how Joe managed to create such a palpable, mesmerising read in a novella is a true credit to his writing skills. I devoured this in one sitting as I couldnt put it down, I just had to see where it would end and it did not disappoint as some novellas can when they seem to end abruptly once they have reached a certain word count. Such a well woven story for a compact read. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
pickI just love Rachel Harrison‘s bitingly comic blend of social commentary and feminist horror. This one‘s special though, because it‘s for the religious trauma girlies like me—and a potent reminder that, as dark and isolating as it can be, it‘s better to be a black sheep than a sacrificial lamb. 🤘
My October stats. The holidays are coming which means Christmas reads so I'm expecting vastly different numbers in a month lol.
My average time to finish is skewed because it took me so long to finish the newest Robert Galbraith novel, a #chunkster at over 900 pages. #chunksterchallenge2024
pickGothic, campy, strange, and yes, fun. Great, fast read for October.
Vesper has never felt like she fit in and returns to her strange family home to seek some answers. Then things get creepy… and creepier…
pickI didn‘t get to this short story (part of the Creature Feature collection on Amazon) last year, so I listened to it today as a warm up to #HauntedShelf. Creepy for sure!
My October's extra scary #bookspin list.
I have everything here from sort of cozy mysteries to creature features to haunted houses, to teen slashers. I'm excited for October reading.
Spooky season is here (and it will last until at least Spring).

pickA new audio edition popped up while I was browsing Libby so had a little nostalgic re-read of this English teacher fave. It‘s still good.
Reading on my Kindle.....so far so good
Not really in my wheele-house but it was a quick read.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A biting satire about escaping a cult. Perhaps an unexpected cult, which made me cackle in shock. This was my first time reading Rachel Harrison, and I‘ll definitely check her backlist. Classifying this as horror is a stretch IMO, but art is always up to interpretation. Witty, darkly humorous, and oddly fun! I didn‘t love the end, but it made sense.
