Hey guys,

I created the "Horror" bookshelf based on your comments. Thank you much for your input. As mentioned I will be sure to do this again for another genre soon. Feel free to keep adding suggestions under the bookshelf section. I'll keep it updated.

Thanks for the comments guys! I'm going to compile the comments here and the ones on reddit and get a shelf started. I'll be sure to do this for the next genre in a few days.

Hey guys,

Can we make a list of horror books that I can create a horror genre bookshelf with? I'd like to get the bigger genres setup and I think horror is a pretty common one that comes up on booksuggestions. Add your favorites here or on the adjoining reddit thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/booksuggestio...
