This year I covered William Peter Blatty's "The Exorcist" for my October book club read. I love a good horror novel, of course, so that was a real treat. I would say one of my all time scary favorites that I can (and have) read over and over would be Stephen King's "Dreamcatcher." There's something about the book that keeps me coming back. Whether it's the aliens, the psychic connections or the crazy people, I couldn't tell you. Either way, if you haven't read it, I highly recommend it. You'll be pulling all-nighters like crazy to finish it.(less)

There will also probably be some oldies-but-goodies like "The Great Gatsby" and "Dracula" to help pass the days. Be sure to catch up with my book club at dameanmathews.com to keep up to date on those books, too.(less)

Lengthy, depraved, depressing truths about the nature of humanity and the oversexualization of society come tenfold here. Classic elements of the Marquis at play.

Very intense, beautiful love story. Heathcliff is, admittedly, a beast, but his devotion is undeniable.

Great addition!

This series is by far one of my favorite YA offerings. The Power of Six is an awesome expansion on the world of the Lorien children and their battle. Great new characters, legacies, beasts, and more!
