AnnCrystal 🥳 Thanks for the tag 📚👻💝. 2w

Amiable Only 16 for me —and most of those are Stephen King that I read in my ‘20s. I‘m not much of fan of scary books or movies. 2w

dabbe @AnnCrystal YW! 🧡💜💛 2w

See All 50 Comments

dabbe @Amiable I love mysteries and detective fiction, and even the occasional horror, but some of these look 😱! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 2w

Bookish_Thoughts 7%. 😱🤣 What should have been there? The Indian Lake Trilogy, The Only Good Indian, The Buffalo Hunter Hunter-all by Stephen Graham Jones. Thanks for the tag! (edited) 2w

PurpleyPumpkin What an interesting list! I only got 10 but that‘s actually higher than I thought I‘d get. 😅 I‘m more of a cozy mystery fan, although some of these books piqued my interest! Thanks for the tag, that was fun!😊 2w

Cuilin I‘ve only read 5!!! Not my genre. My mystery interest slants more cozy. 2w

rwmg I only got 9. I read some Stephen King in the 1970s and 1980s but I forget the titles now apart from Carrie, which is the first one I read., so I might be able to add one or two. 2w

thebacklistbook I've read 5, three of which are: The Summoning, If We Were Villains, and Frankenstein 2w

LiseWorks I only got 9, I don't read them as much as I watched the movies lol all Steven King were movies, not the books. I don't really like his books. Way too long. 2w

AnnCrystal 🤔...I'd have a higher score if this was about books on my TBR lists 😅...😉👍🏼📚💝📚. 2w

AnnCrystal @Bookish_Thoughts I so badly wanted to read the The Buffalo Hunter Hunter, but I am a coward about too many gory scenes...I can sometimes jump over some scenes, but I read that this was horrific. Is this truly gory?? 2w

Bklover I got 30. A couple more I bailed on. I love this stuff- started reading Stephen King way back in 1978 and just never stopped. I do have an advantage of being older than dirt. 🫤😧 2w

Susanita I got 10…which is higher than I expected! 2w

dabbe @Bookish_Thoughts An interesting trilogy to take a look at! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 2w

dabbe @PurpleyPumpkin I'm with you! I prefer comfy detective stories the most,, and some of these looked really 😱! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 2w

dabbe @Cuilin Same here, m'dear! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 2w

dabbe @rwmg Not much of my genre either ... only at this time of year! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 2w

dabbe @thebacklistbook I hope you enjoyed those. I adore FRANKENSTEIN. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 2w

dabbe @LiseWorks He can really get into the details, can't he? Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 2w

dabbe @AnnCrystal Ditto, m'dear! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 2w

dabbe @Bklover Right there with ya! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 2w

dabbe @Susanita #yahooyou! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 2w

Sparklemn 12 for me. Favorite is Mexican Gothic. Hated Gone Girl. 😖 2w

Dilara Thank you for tagging me. I did worse than most and got 5% because I haven't read any of the non-classics. I would have got more if The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, The Turn of the Screw, The Canterville Ghost had been included 😁
Some of the titles are in my wishlist: The Historian, Mexican Gothic, and Our Share of Night
I can recommend Beyond Black by Hilary Mantel & The Ghost Rider by Ismail Kadaré

Beyond Black: A Novel

eeclayton Thanks for the tag! 8 points. Scary books are not my cup of tea, even though I love some of the classics, such as Dracula. I also love the Highsmith books on the list, but I don't associate them with Halloween. 2w

Librarybelle I got 10…there are many on my tbr. Loved Mexican Gothic, Gone Girl, and Rebecca, not to mention Frankenstein and Dracula. 2w

Bookwormjillk 16 for me. A lot of these are new to me but I have read all of the Stephen King and Patricia Highsmith. 2w

KT1432 I got 6. I am ashamed. I must make my own post about this lol!! 2w

MaGoose I'm not much of a reader in the horror genre, so only 2 for me. But there are 2 or 3 on the list that I want to read. 2w

ElizaMarie I only did 23% I am super shocked. I mean. I like horror type books. But I think I might gravitate more to thrillers, so maybe that's why my score is so low. But --- you did post a bunch that I am interested in reading, so thanks for that! 2w

melissajayne I got 8 2w

dabbe @Sparklemn Ooh, taking GG off the TBR. Thanks! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 2w

dabbe @Dilara Great recs! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 2w

dabbe @eeclayton I think some people chose based on reading a scary book at this time of year per se. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 2w

dabbe @Librarybelle Fab choices. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 2w

dabbe @Bookwormjillk Most were new to me, too! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 2w

dabbe @KT1432 No being ashamed! This is all in good fun, right? Right? 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 2w

dabbe @MaGoose I found quite a few that I'd like to read, too! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 2w

dabbe @ElizaMarie I think this list came from all areas: from mystery all the way to horror ... hence the “okay“ scores since most of us gravitate towards once specific area in this genre perhaps. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 2w

dabbe @melissajayne Not bad! Most of us are around 7-15. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 2w

kspenmoll I only read 9. 2w

dabbe @kspenmoll You and I were quite close in our scores. Most of these I haven't even heard of! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💛💜🧡 2w

CogsOfEncouragement I‘ve read 8. I recommend The Talented Mr. Ripley series, Strangers On A Train, and Rebecca. 2w

dabbe @CogsOfEncouragement Fab choices! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 2w

nanuska_153 I read a generous 5, you can tell it's not my genre cause some of the ones I marked as "read" I actually bailed on ? so much for being an eclectic reader. Love Rebecca though ❤️ 2w

dabbe @nanuska_153 #ditto 💛💜🧡 2w

DrSabrinaMoldenReads Yep! Only 3! You can tell these are not my kinda books. Two of the ones I read I did not like especially “Gone Girl”. Thanks for sharing ! 2w

dabbe @DrSabrinaMoldenReads A few people said that about GONE GIRL; I was happy to take it off the TBR. Thanks for playing and sharing. 💛💜🧡 1w

The House of Silk: A Sherlock Holmes Novel | Anthony Horowitz

#TheLitsyIrregulars #TLI #PasticheBR @NoPlaceLikeHolmes
@Cuilin @LitsyEvents

Well, Sherlockians, as Holmes would say, “The game is afoot.“ Time to read some pastiches! We'll have a quick check-in on 10/30 just to see what we're all thinking, then a discussion of the whole book on 11/30. Any and all are welcome to join; just let me know if you'd like to be added to the list.

Have a good week, everyone. 💛🩶♥️

Bookwomble 53% - so-so 😏🍂 1mo

RaeLovesToRead 64% but you are not getting me in a hot air balloon haha. That's how Enduring Love started 😆 1mo

Amiable 90%! (Just don‘t care for pumpkin-flavored food or drinks. 😖) But I live in New England and nobody does autumn better than we do! 😀 (edited) 1mo

See All 31 Comments

ShananigansReads Finally a list I‘ve done well on 80%!!!! 1mo

nanuska_153 66% I love this season, the leaves, the colours, the coziness 🥰 1mo

TheAromaofBooks 83% - I'm big into fall, but not into scary 😂 1mo

Librarybelle I got 49%, much lower than I thought. Oh well! 1mo

Mollyanna 81% - I love fall! The warm drinks, cozy fires, comfort food… 1mo

IriDas I got 83%, but you missed the most important one—the World Series. :) 1mo

PathfinderNicole 80%! 1mo

ravenlee I got 66%! It‘s hard to enjoy fall stuff when it‘s still 90 degrees well into October here, and I miss all the apple picking and stuff from our few years in Nebraska. 1mo

GingerAntics Wow, I got 7%… and an exciting twist, it‘s only going to get up to 75 here today… so getting closer to jeans and sweatshirts/sweaters. 1mo

dabbe @Bookwomble Not too shabby! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 1mo

dabbe @RaeLovesToRead Same here! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 1mo

dabbe @Amiable Agee 💯! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 1mo

dabbe @ShananigansReads #yahooyou! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 1mo

dabbe @nanuska_153 #ditto! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 1mo

dabbe @TheAromaofBooks Agree 💯! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 1mo

dabbe @Librarybelle That ain't too shabby, m'dear! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 1mo

dabbe @IriDas Perhaps because I'm a D-Backs fan. 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 1mo

dabbe @PathfinderNicole #woohooyou! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 1mo

dabbe @ravenlee Agree 💯. It's going to be over 100º again today here. I think that's why I'm in hyper-mode with fall; I want the weather to change so badly! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 1mo

dabbe @GingerAntics I'm surprised! And yay for a cooler temp! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 1mo

Catsandbooks 84% I really miss living in MI in the fall. It's not the same living in MS ☹️ 1mo

dabbe @Catsandbooks Boy, I can just imagine! That's why Matt and I go up north into the pines for a few days in October--just to see the leaves change and actually experience real autumn temps. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡🍁♥️ 1mo

Bookwormjillk 94% although I think it was summer when I went up in the hot air balloon. I love all things fall but after 2020 I don‘t think I would ever bob for apples again. I‘ve never TPed anything. My mom would have killed me for wasting that much perfectly good toilet paper 🤣 1mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk I'd never have the nerve to go in a balloon! And I only tp-ed in the 80s ... the Reagan years. 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜💛 1mo

ElizaMarie 60 of 70 · 86% - I haven't been in a hot air balloon (the two times I had it planned, weather screwed me). I have never been apple picking either (not sure if it's the whole family of Migrant workers thing that makes me not find this appealing), haven't jumped in leave, but have kicked them? I didn't experience leaves until my late 30s. South TX Fall is so much different than my now VT Fall. 1mo

eeclayton I scored 12. This quiz me brought back the memory of my uncle's pumpkin field and how the family used to come together in the harvest season to help remove the seeds (they would sell the seeds) and tell stories and enjoy the company. Good times 🙂 1mo

dabbe @ElizaMarie I bet the autumns are completely different! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜🩶 1mo

dabbe @eeclayton What a wonderful memory! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🧡💜🩶 1mo
