This month’s selections from my book subscriptions…
NightWorms included a novella, Crypt of the Moon Spider and a haunted house novel, Through the Midnight Door. I immediately sat down and read CotMS when it arrived…what a strange little tale, but in a good way! I’m hoping to add TtMD to my reading list for October but I may have to wait a bit. From Fantastic Strangelings, we have Colored Television, a “…dark comedy about love and ambition, failure and reinvention, and the racial-identity industrial complex…” I’ve been hearing good things about this one, and God knows I’ll be looking for some humor after a couple of months of reading horror!
Someone really needs to block me from Thriftbooks. Seriously. It never fails, I go on the site to find one thing and wind up with waaaaaay more than I planned. But, hey, I need to make sure I buy enough to get free shipping, then there’s the book credits I need to use up…and then…and then…
I’ve been on a celebrity memoir kick this year so I picked up these three…
And just in time for the spooky season…
The Elementals is classic horror from the early ’80’s that has been on my wish list for years. It seemed like whenever I came across a copy it was priced at $100 or more! They must have issued a new reprint since TB had several new copies now available. I’m currently reading it and loving it so far! I Found Puppets... is one that I just had to get based solely on the title. It was one of my first reads for my Halloween challenge and it did not disappoint!
And a few other miscellaneous titles…
No, your eyes are not deceiving you, I did get a copy of China Rich Girlfriend. Not one of my usual reading genre preferences, but I really enjoyed Crazy Rich Asians so I decided to finally check out book two. The other three were random choices from my Goodreads “want to read” shelf.
How was your September? Did you pick up any new reads? Drop me a line and let’s talk books!
Stay safe, and Happy Reading!
