Happily Ever After Cafe discussion

Well, here we are - rushing into fall. I can't believe how chilly it's become here in my part of Indiana already! I guess it's natural that my thoughts have turned to autumn decorations, fall foods, and Halloween. While I always watch scary movies at Halloween, I've never actually made an effort to read specific Halloween books. I know - silly right? Especially since I always read Thanksgiving and Christmas books during their holiday season. You'd think I'd naturally read creepy or fun-creepy books at All Hallows Eve, too.

So, besides participating in the October reading challenge, I'm compiling a new Halloween list. Anybody have any recommendations?

was sweet. AnneOK recommended this to me last year and I quite liked it.

has a bunch of ghosts and such. Just finished it and it was pretty good.

Thanks, Lisa! I added it to my list. I like the cover. ;)

Hmm, it looks interesting, Pamela! Added it to my list. Thanks!

Oh, yes, Pamela! I loved that book. So much so that I used my audible.com credits to get the rest of the series. Very well narrated! I just need to get back to it. **sigh**

The Graveyard Queen series by Amanda Stevens gets my vote, too. And there will be three more books in the coming year. Yay!

Alyson, are you looking for more dark, paranormal/thriller type books, or are lighter paranormal books also acceptable? If you like 'em funny and steamy, I recommend the Psychic Witch and Triplet Witch trilogies by Annette Blair. They are connected series, and the last of the Triplet Witch books even takes place at Samhain (Halloween).

Heather, will you think I'm crazy if I say that the type of Halloween theme I want will depend on what mood I'm in when I reach for a book? Ha! Seriously, I'm up for reading either kind. I'll check out Annette's books. Thanks!

Yeah, I'm a moody reader, too!

Makes perfect sense to me, Alyson. Sometimes you feel like something light and comedic, sometimes you want something a bit dark. And sometimes you can't make up your mind what you're in the mood for, LOL.

I added both of these to my TBR list, they each sound interesting in different ways!

Shanna Swendson has a series of fun romantic comedies about a woman that works with a magical group of people. Cute, fun reads.

A couple more suggestions:


Bewitching by Jill Barnett
Witchy Business by Julie Leto (et al)

The first is one of my favorite historical romances, the second is actually in Mount TBR (somwhere).

If you want to go historical, try , by Karyn Monk. I just love that book.

Oh, that does sound good!

I've lost count of the number of times I've read it. Sooooo good. Perfect for Hallowe'en.

Oh wow - lots of good choices!!! So many books, so little time... Still, I'll MAKE time one way or another!

Thanks everyone!
