_____________________

I have come to terms with the fact that now until January I will not be reading as much as I thought I would LOL. We have one more holiday this month- Simchat Torah, and then I am also getting ready for an open house craft show at a friends workshop. I'm trudging along but at a slower pace...

WHAT I AM READING...

THE SEVEN VISITATIONS OF SYDNEY BURGESS BY ANDY MARINO

This book releases tomorrow- it's a horror or suspense, I am not sure. There are times when I am reading that I am soooo confused, the author changes narratives and you are not sure if you are reading now or a bit later...it is making reading very slow, and I am not even sure if I want to finish it, other than the curiosity of knowing how this sh*t show ends.

CITY OF LOST SOULS BY CASSANDRA CLARE

As you probably know once a month we are reading one of the TMI books in a re-read. We agreed to not read and meet to discuss City of Lost  Souls until November so we can get to all the spooky reads we want to read in October. But me being a HUGE Jace fan knows that this book centers on him, so I am reading anyway. To be fair, I am only reading a chapter a day so I can read my other books, but I found that I didn't want to wait to read it LOL. Who knows, I may still be reading when November hits

 

THE BALLERINAS BY RACHEL KAPELKE-DALE

I just love this cover, it is so ethereal looking! Reading this on the kindle so

 it is only a night read, but I am loving it and may opt into reading it during the day this week to get it finished, I am dying to know what the big secret is that the main character is hiding.

A SPINDLE SPLINTERED BY ALIX E HARROW

I picked up this audiobook to read for a fall reading challenge, but later discovered it wasn't long enough. Too late, I was already invested in this re-telling of Sleeping Beauty. It is short and I will probably be finished with it today when I pick up my wool and start sewing. 

WHAT I READ...

THE SUMMER SONS BY LEE MANDELO

Releasing tomorrow, if you are a regular reader of my Monday posts you know I had this book HYPED, well it lived up to all the hype I had hyped. A dark creepy Southern Gothic with a bit of Dark Academia, I loved it! You can read my review here

A LITTLE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT BY SHEILA ROBERTS

This book also releases tomorrow ( seems like a good release week ) A very heartwarming story of a man who lost his wife and his Christmas spirit and the single mom next door who helps him find it again. If you love Christmas Reads, you will love this one.

THE FINAL GIRL SUPPORT GROUP BY GRADY HENDRIX

In horror movies, the final girl is the one who's left standing when the credits roll. The one who fought back defeated the killer, and avenged her friends. The one who emerges bloodied but victorious. But after the sirens fade and the audience moves on, what happens to her?

Lynnette Tarkington is a real-life final girl who survived a massacre twenty-two years ago, and it has defined every day of her life since. And she's not alone. For more than a decade she's been meeting with five other actual final girls and their therapist in a support group for those who survived the unthinkable, putting their lives back together, piece by piece. That is until one of the women misses a meeting and Lynnette's worst fears are realized--someone knows about the group and is determined to take their lives apart again, piece by piece.

But the thing about these final girls is that they have each other now, and no matter how bad the odds, how dark the night, how sharp the knife, they will never, ever give up.

Hardcover, 128 pages

NOTHING BUT BLACKENED TEETH BY CASSANDRA KHAW

A Heian-era mansion stands abandoned, its foundations resting on the bones of a bride and its walls packed with the remains of the girls sacrificed to keep her company.

It’s the perfect wedding venue for a group of thrill-seeking friends.

But a night of food, drinks, and games quickly spirals into a nightmare. For lurking in the shadows is the ghost bride with a black smile and a hungry heart.

And she gets lonely down there in the dirt
