Odds & Ends: 7 Spooky Reads on My TBR

Published on by HeatherLeave a comment

I wanted to do a couple of fun Spooky Read lists for the Spooky season and I thought what better list to start with than ones I have on my TBR. I’m not going to list ones that I’ve already mentioned in my October TBR, that would be the entire list done. No, I want to share some that I’ve put on my TBR that I haven’t heard many people talk about. Also, since I like to know as little as possible going into a thriller and horror, I will not be including synopsis, but I will say what drew me to the book. If you’re wanting to read the synopsis, I’ve provided links to Goodreads for each book.

So, with all that out of the way, in no particular order, here are 10 7 Spooky Reads I have on my TBR.

First Line Fridays | 1st October

Published on by HeatherLeave a comment

First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines?  If you want to make your own post, follow the rules below:

  • Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page
  • Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first
  • Finally… reveal the book!

If you’re using Twitter, don’t forget to use #FirstLinesFridays!

Here we go…
