Yay, it’s September, and you know what that means…my third annual 31 Books of Halloween personal reading challenge has commenced! The most difficult part is where to start?!?!
There’s this cart brimming with tempting titles…
…and this assortment of classic and modern terror…
…and I can’t forget about these from two masters of horror…
Plus there is my theme for September, Sci Fi and Scary! So, after much consideration and some help from my son, I picked these three to start out the month.
Dead Space sounds like a perfect sci fi and scary selection. Hester is forced to take a dead-end job in security for a large company in the asteroid belt. A friend from her past is murdered at an asteroid mine, and she sets out to uncover the truth. Of course, that may not be in her best interests.
The Loop is described as Stranger Things meets World War Z, and I am here for it! A small tourist town (in my little corner of the world, no less) is also home to a biotech firm. A strange outbreak starts to infect everyone, and a group of local misfits struggle to survive while exposing the dangerous company.
The Forest sounds like true small town terror. The citizens of Edgewood believe their autumnal tithes keep the darkness from the nearby forest at bay. But Faye finds out about the real offering the sinister forest craves…
Never fear, my reading list is not all dark and creepy. I also have some Halloween/autumn themed cozies and a couple of YA titles that look entertaining. Be sure to track my progress in my weekly updates (look for x/31).
What will you be reading this month? Drop me a line and let’s talk books!
Stay safe and Happy Reading!
