On My Shelf discussion

Since it's nearing the Halloween season...perhaps we pick a creepy book?

I would agree with this suggestion. Whatever the group votes on, we will go with, but I do think that maybe a horror or a thriller book would be a good idea for the month of October.

I'm down with creepy :)

me to

Great suggestion...I'll take a peek and there's also "Jane Doe" by Victoria Helen Stone...more of a thriller but seems good.

I picked horror!

Anyone who did not is welcome to change his or her vote.

Seems like Horror it is. I'll look for something scary and get back...

It's a close one, but it still has to beat fiction. I have a few horror books to be read on my shelf and plenty of fiction as well, and I will include the first five nominations (which must be on your shelves) from the category that wins in a poll to be voted on starting on the 10th. I cannot wait!

hey guys Im rina a new member nice to meet you all! Defo agree that October should have creepy reads! I really want to read Baby Teeth

Hi everybody. LET ME IN is on sale in the kindle store. Seems to have a creepy premise. Just throwing it out there. I'm sure there are plenty of better moms that do not rely on Kindle sales...

Noms. Not moms. That makes no sense...

Hi ! I like Baby Teeth too! I have this one on my TBR shelf.

Oh good I have Baby Teeth too so let's all message tomorrow with Baby Teeth! :) Because it looks like Horror is winning!

defo voting for Baby Teeth

just to let people know Baby Teeth is also called Bad Apple in the Uk! I Had no idea until my friend told me

By Zoje Stage, right?

Yes Ean its exactly the same as Baby teeth but called Bad apple instead

Awesome! I'm excited to begin Baby Teeth!

Me too!

I've voted Sci-fi but changed it to Horror. Haha. It's a challenge for me since I almost never read a horror novel. I'm looking forward to our creepy read 😊

I am a wuss and therefore, if horror wins, the only way I would even consider joining in would be if we ended up reading very mildly scary middle grade horror stories (do not want nightmares).

Serial by Jack Kilborn and Blake Crouch should be on your SCARY AS ALL HECK list. Disturbing.

Serialize great. Fast too

"Serial is"...autocorrect on the other hand...

Well horror will not be an option next month if it wins this month so definitely join in then =]

Pet Semetary? Trying to get caught up on Stephen King’s work.

Yes, one of the ones on my shelf is Stephen King =]

I also have Pet Semetary and I try to read only King in October!

Great idea Elyse!

Pet Semetary is very creepy. One of the best

The Great God Pan by Arthur Machen was touted by Stephen King as the greatest horror in English. For full effect it must read in the dark. 😊

The silent companions is creepy creepyyyy😱

october needs to come on

I just picked up The Picture of Dorian Gray at the bookstore and the lady I asked to help me find it got all excited! I think she liked that I wanted to read a classic, and you know, I don't think I know a lot of people who enjoy classics. Now I'm really looking forward to reading this one.

Yay! Glad to have you with us!

Just locked down the audiobook so I am good to go next month! Now I just have to someone finish The Stand this week....

IT by Stephen King?
