For a lover of horror, Halloween is almost as good as Christmas (and in some cases, better). So I feel it's only natural that I planned on reading a lot more horror books than I actually did. That's not to say I'm not happy with what I read, but don't we bookworms always need more time!
So here are some books I really intended to read this Halloween season, but which didn't quite make it.
Of course I still plan on pushing The Rules of Magic and Truants to November and I vow to get to Hollywood Homicide before 2017 is through (because yes, I'm as sick of seeing it here on the blog as you must be).
I have to give a shout out for Rules of Magic - I loved it so much - although I would just say it's not a scary story at all. Very 'feely'.
ReplyDeleteLynn :D
I'm starting it soon. It's a library book so I have to :)
DeleteBest laid plans and all that. :) Maybe your horror month can extend into November? It can be: horror books I'm thankful for. :)
ReplyDeleteI real horror all year long but did really focus on it the past 2 months. I'll make time for these all eventually.
DeleteLoved The Rules of Magic, although I wouldn't categorize it as "scary". Hexed is supposed to be super scary, though!
ReplyDeleteI remember ordering Hex from Book Depository when it first came out because I couldn't get it in the US. You would think with all that work I would have read it by now.
DeleteThere's always next week or next month. lol

I only managed one horror book this month and that was a re-read of The Rats! I'm disappointed in myself but I did read a Game of Thrones novel so that is KIND of horror...umm..
ReplyDeleteWhile it may not fit the horror genre, it's definitely scary so I think it fits.
DeleteI haven't read any of those! I see a few I want to add to my TBR list though. Halloween is my favorite too and the horror/thriller/suspense genre is what I enjoy the most. Happy Halloween!!
ReplyDeleteI miss it already and it's only November 2nd.
DeleteI am waiting on an audi review copy of Rules of Magic, now I need to check out some of these titles.
ReplyDeleteHope you find some you love.
DeleteI'm rubbish at keeping to lists! I am intrigued by Hex though. I hope you get around to these soon.
ReplyDeleteI like making lists better than I do sticking to them. I try though which I suppose is the best I can do.
DeleteI can relate to not having read everything I hoped to for the season. And now I feel like I have to jump right into the Christmas reads without finishing what I wanted for the Halloween. Self-pressure, I know, but it's real.
ReplyDeleteRules of Magic is on my wish list. I am really looking forward to reading it. Hex and House of Ash sound really good as well! I hope you get to these when you are able!
Have a great day!
I'm going to read a few Christmas reads but still want to make time for my favorite genre.
DeleteRules of Magic is on my TBR though I know it's a prequel to Practical Magic and I haven't made up my mind which one to start with! Good luck getting to all of these! I have one of these lists too!
ReplyDeleteI read Practical Magic years ago. I guess I would read it in the order of publication.
DeleteI need to read House of Ash as well! :)
ReplyDeleteSeems we have so much in common, down to neither of us reading it yet :)
DeleteThere are a lot of books I intended to pick up this month, but didn't get to. But there's still next year!
ReplyDeleteYep and the rest of this one too.
DeleteThe Rules of Magic is one I have been thinking about reading, and they just got it Overdrive for my library today. So, chances are looking better than ever. Hope you get to some of these soon.
ReplyDeleteHope you get to grab it soon.
DeleteI have lots of reading plans and they rarely work out. I don't think that I have any of these on my tbr list (yet) but I hope you can squeeze them in soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carole.
DeleteI love reading Halloween type books through October, but it never seems to work out that way for me.
ReplyDeleteYou know what they say about best laid plans huh?

ReplyDeleteHaha, if I did this post it would pages long :) I always have grand plans that I never follow through on.
ReplyDeleteWell, I could have added more than 10!
Deletehah I'm still planning on reading Hex, November is a cold and dreary month so I'm not giving up on some of the reads because after that I have to review a bunch of christmas stuff >.<
ReplyDeleteHex would be a good November read! I say go for it!
DeleteGreat list!! I hope you got lots of reading done! :) I cannot believe Halloween has already flow by!
ReplyDeleteI did manage to read a lot but need to work on my recap.
DeleteI hope you get to all of these soon. I finished The Rules of Magic last month and really loved it.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear you liked it!
DeleteThanks AJ.
