Top Ten Horror Novels on my TBR

 

This week’s subject for Top Ten Tuesday was listed as Fall Themed Freebie. Since I primarily associate Fall with October and October with Halloween, for me, Fall = Halloween. And Halloween equals two things: Pumpkin shaped buckets of candy and a nice seasonal horror novel. I can’t give you candy, so I’ll give you my Top Ten Horror Novels on my TBR List.

1. The Watchers by A.M. Shine

2. Drood by Dan Simmons

3. The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson

4. William by Mason Coile

5. The Amityville Horror by Jay Anson

6. The Broken Places by Blaine Daigle

7. The Sundown Motel by Simone St. James

8. Gallows Hill by Darcy Coates

9. The Hollow Places by T. Kingfisher

10. The Troop by Nick Cutter


Happy Almost Halloween!

    I’m also looking forward to reading the Shirley Jackson book. It’s been on my shelf for a while. I didn’t care for Sun Down Motel. The Broken Places sounds good!

    I am not a fan of horror books, but have read the Shirley Jackson book because it's a classic. I will say that it is eerie.

    I'm not a horror fan but my friend Danielle is (or until recentl) Simone St. James' editor so I have read one of her books!

Top Ten Romantic Books & Why I Read Them

Image
Valentine's Day approaches! And I have a confession: I don't really care. I don't mean that to be facetious but the reality is I haven't got much of a romantic bone in my body. I actually like the day after Valentine's a little better, because I can buy chocolate at next to nothing because it was all poured into a heartshaped mold that stopped being relevant the moment the clock hit midnight. Given all that, it probably won't come as a shock to you that I don't read a lot of romance novels, and when I do, it's not usually the romantic elements that made me pick it up in the first place. My GoodReads 'Romance' shelf list 27 books in all, and some of them are sequels so I'm not sure they count. Because picking up romance is such a rarity for me, and it is Valentine's Day (almost), I decided my list today should be Top Ten Romantic Books & Why I Read Them . (hosted by ThatArtsyReaderGirl ) 1. Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. I like vampire...

Top Ten Books That Push My Comfort Zone

Today's Top Ten Tuesday list is Books I Enjoyed that Were Outside My Comfort Zone (or books you’d like to read that are outside your comfort zone!) .  I don't step outside my comfort zone often so I didn't have ten titles that I've already read to give you. Instead I decided to split my list between books I have enjoyed that were outside my comfort zone, and books I haven't read yet that are going to be outside my comfort zone whenever I get around to them. These are my top 5 books I liked that were outside my comfort zone: 1. Red White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston – Romance isn’t really my thing, and I don’t try to hide it, and I don’t hesitate to call out books when romance is inserted for seemingly no reason at all… So it was odd that I picked up a romance novel (and even watched itits movie) but I did and found it to be kind of cute. 2. Quiet Dell by Jayne Anne Phillips – This is a weird one, I picked from the library because I needed a Q entry for ...
