Top Ten Scariest Looking Book Covers

My picks for the Tuesday Top Ten, as invented by The Broke and Bookish. These are some of the scariest book covers I've seen. I only occasionally read straight up horror, so a few of these I've read, but most of these are books I've seen on Amazon or GoodReads and haven't gotten to...yet.

1.GoodReads keeps recommending I read this. I'm pretty sure its just Edgar Allen Poe with a tricked out cover. Poe is a favorite of mine, so I've probably already read this in a different addition. I just love how lyrical his prose is.

2. Amazon recommended this. I'm not sure what its about, but that little girl is creepy...Why are little girls always creepy?

3. GoodReads rec.

4. GoodReads rec.
5. GoodReads rec.

I admit to wanting to read 4 and 5! I've just got to be in the mood for a good scare!

6.  This I read, and this I loved! Monsters living in a school. If you were ever dreaded going to school, this is like validation.


7. I'm a HUGE John Ajvide Lindqvist fan! This book was strange, creepy, and fascinating.

8. I just posted the review for this...and while I wasn't a fan of the story, it certainly has a great cover.

9.  On my To-Read list.

10. On my To-Read list.

You'd have a swimming buddy for life, and someone to feed your enemies to...) Do you have any favorite animal characters?

   Happy Sunday! Welcome to my Sunday Post, a weekly blog news meme hosted by  caffeinatedbookreviewer . My blog is on the small side, so I decided I'll only be posting the first Sunday of each month and I hope you'll join me. The month of February has been eventful. I've had some wild weather in my neck of the woods: real feel listed as 11 degrees one day, switching to 60s and endless rain, and then to dry windstorms that brought trees down. I successfully managed not to freeze, drown, or fly. I became an aunt to a beautiful niece, who just narrowly escaped being a leap year baby, and I'm pretty excited about her arrival. My Kindle Touch was finally lost to the ravages of time but was replaced swiftly with a Kindle Paperwhite. I also reviewed the following stories: Lethal White by Robet Galbraith Training Strategies for Dressage Riders by Charles de Kunffy What Feasts at Night by T.Kingfisher (just released!) Troubled Blood by Robert Galbraith I originally planned to ...

  Happy Sunday! The Sunday Post is a weekly news meme created by Caffeinated Reviewer. I will be posting on the first Sunday of each month and I hope you'll join me. We're in drought. We live in an area that's never seen forest fires and yet we've seen forest fires. We got a couple of days of rain and it wasn't enough to consider the drought broken. Everybody has been advised not to run their wood stoves or fire pits... and naturally you can't actually advise anyone on anything anymore so people are doing whatever it is they want instead of worrying about burning the woods down (or their neighbor's house.) I feel like we're either going to get no snow at all this year or we're going to get hammered with it. The books I've read in November were both rereads. I reread The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern and A Darker Shade of Magic by VE Schwab. I don't plan to post the review of The Night Circus because it's already been posted.  But A...
