I have a list of recommendations based on scare factor to satisfy every reader.

🔪 Strange Magic by Syd Moore - I love this series - unlikely sleuths, a witch museum, light romance, & a lot of feminism
🔪🔪 The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins - unreliable narrator meets psychological thriller
🔪🔪🔪 Misery by Stephen King - psychological thriller with the dial turned up + the gore too
🔪🔪🔪🔪 NOS4A2 by Joe Hill - scariest book I‘ve ever read

Happy Friday, #GrimReaders! We still have a while until the #HauntedShelf starts, but I wanted to share my Team Lead Picks so you can start planning your October reading. Of course I chose books where Death is a character!

You‘ll get 15 bonus points for reading any of these, on top of whatever other points they count for.

ImperfectCJ I love your logo! 2w
JenReadsAlot Oh I haven't read Christopher Moore in years so might check that one out! 2w
CSeydel @ImperfectCJ Hey thanks! 2w

CSeydel @JenReadsAlot Yay! Yeah, I thought it sounded clever and original. I feel awkward calling these “favorites” since I haven‘t read them yet myself, but I‘m hoping to read them all during the event. 2w
willaful I'm definitely going to listen to the Moore. 2w
AllDebooks Just ordered Reaper Man from the library. Can't beat Sir TP. 2w

Hello and welcome to team #GrimReaders for #HauntedShelf !

I'm Carrie, your team lead for this adventure, here to answer questions, post information and challenges, and cheer you on!

I'll tag all team members in every team-related post, but because notifications can be funny, it‘s good if you follow me at least while the event is running.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's haunted reads!

CSeydel Also, I‘m new to HauntedShelf, so if you participated last year (or even if you didn‘t!) please feel free to let me know if there‘s something you think I should be doing differently! I won‘t be offended if you say “hey why aren‘t you …” or “usually the team leader does …” 😄 3w
