I had no idea what to expect from this so getting the shivers from the inside out because some parts were just creepy fit the Halloween mood. A book hasn‘t given me that reaction in a long time. Seriously, whoa. Also, how legit is the mushroom science because, is this actually possible? Definitely frightful for the scavenger hunt AND book rec 😬

Bookwomble The mushroom science isn't all that legit, but then again, zombie-ant fungus, so... 🤷‍♂️🧟‍♂️🐜🍄‍🟫 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophiocordyceps_unilateralis 2w

A lower pick vs. so-so only because I think there could‘ve been more “oomf”. But also, who am I? I couldn‘t write anything half as good🤣 sometimes, the “monsters” are the ones closest to you; but you‘ll have to dig up the past to find out. Using this as “monstrous” and “monster” for scavenger hunt/book rec., since it references that word a lot. Found some much needed words, as well. #HauntedShelf #RestlessSpirits #pumpkaboo #BirthdayBashReadathon

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ was I expecting where the initial plot was headed, yes. Did I nail all the plot twists? Not even close. Did I hate characters? Absolutely. Page-turner, for sure! Glad I got to clear this from my TBR. Thank you, #HauntedShelf #RestlessSpirits #JustOneMoreChapter #Pumpkaboo

Fifteen years ago, Emma's three cabinmates at summer camp disappeared in the night without a trace. Em is still haunted by that event. When the camp's owner decides to reopen the camp, she invites Em to come as an art instructor and Emma agrees, wondering if this could bring her the closure she needs. But of course instead things get really scary haha As with the other Sager books I've read, when I got done I still had a few questions, but ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) while I was reading it I was completely engaged. The pacing is great, and despite not being sure what Emma was holding back as a narrator, I still liked her.

Dracula | Bram Stoker

Pickpick

This month's #HashtagBrigade pick was kind of a reread for me. I read it last year with #DraculaDaily which, while super fun, is also not exactly the best way to read this book for the first time. So I liked reading it in order and in one month instead of six 😂 Now I might do Dracula Daily again next year lol Anyway, while there are places where the action bogs down a little, and the ending feels a little rushed, this book still has some ⬇

BarkingMadRead I‘m glad you liked the format! Dracula daily sounds intriguing but I wonder of i would last long that way! 🧛🏻 12mo
PuddleJumper I've been receiving the Dracula Daily emails for 3 years and I've still not finished it 🤣 12mo

TheAromaofBooks @BarkingMadRead @PuddleJumper - I love the concept of Dracula Daily, but when you get into October sooooooo much happens on certain days that it really gets bogged down. Combined with the fact that you go WEEKS in the summer without anything happening, so I would kind of forget what was happening 😂 I think I may try it next year now that I know how the story goes and who all the characters are. 12mo

inthegreensandblues I agree; last year I went to the book launch for Dracula Daily but ultimately decided to read it the old fashioned way for my first read. Some of the out of order entries work best the way Stoker wrote them. This year, I've re-read through DD (still going!) and it's fun to revisit this way. 🖤 12mo

Eclipse the Moon: A Novel | Jessie Mihalik
post image
Pickpick

I really enjoyed the middle book of the Starlight's Shadow trilogy. If you want romance with a scifi setting, Mihalik is a great pick. Fluffy, but there is some action, too. In this series, the setting is a few years after a war has finally ended. It seems like someone is trying to eradicate the uneasy truce. This crew of people from both sides of the war are working together to prevent it... all while falling in love haha
