Birthdays or Anniversaries for October
of a friend or family member you want to celebrate with us?

I cannot believe it is almost October.
I have just a few books that I am behind on.

What do you plan to read for the haunting month of October?

Can you believe there is only five days left in our October reads will be posted!!

Are you planning on any October reads?

September went too fast for me, Lesle. I'm already behind my reading schedule. I'm continuing with Greek dramatists in October. I've a few more to read.

Earth Abides, The Haunted Lady, Miss Pym Disposes and hopefully The Essays of Elia.
And Greek comedies.

I've also saved Greek comedies for October, Rosemarie. Hope to get on to them after finishing Antigone.

2026 Suggestion Threads

Suggestion threads are for our Members to voice their thoughts on what you would like to read. We like the idea of having our reads decided on in plenty of time to order something you are interested in or have the chance to make your list for next year.

Some of the threads are open for next years reads. We would love for you to check them out over the next month or so. Make sure you keep an eye on the threads for the updates or any additional help and support for our lists.

Thank you!

How are we doing with our Monthly reads?
I know I am about 4 books behind of what I was hoping for.

Share with us if your on target or...

Greek dramatists, Miss Pym Disposes and The Haunted Lady.

Kathy I forgot to order The Haunted Lady I might try to see if I can find it in Project Gutenberg.

What classic spooky, haunting and horror books are you planning on reading in October?
Maybe a classic gothic tale?

I cannot get Miss Pym Disposes posted as of yet. Goodreads says try again later.

I will keep working on getting this listed.
I am sorry.

That has happened to me before, Lesle. Goodreads wouldn't let me open a new thread.

I didnt check last night but I finally got it this morning.
For some reason the first of the month is awful.
The New Year is even worse!

Thank you I know the Mods get it haha!
