October TBR & Readathons
October!! YESS!! October is my favorite month! And it’s also my favorite time of year to read and do readathons! This October I plan on participating in 4. Crazy large amount…I know! Not sure if i’ll finish, but I really want to dedicate October to reading! Since i have a reading limit of 6ish books a month, I’ve decided to double up as much as possible…which makes this pretty challenging. I may need to change these up mid-month.

#FridayFeature There Will Come A Darkness by Katy Rose Pool
This week’s book is a new release that i picked up last week. I didn’t know much of if when i picked it up, only that it’s pretty popular and that it’s one of my favorite genres: fantasy. Seems interesting but I probably wont be reading it until after Halloween. I just have way too many other books lined up. Right now, I’m still reading Wildcat and Moby Dick & I have a few books due for review.

Battle of the #CreepyClassics
This year I will be hosting the Battle of the Creepy Classics. We will start with Nominations, which go live today. You may nominate any books you feel are perfect Fall or Halloween reads. These books must be classics though & for the purposes of this event, “classic” is defined as originally publish before 1950. After nominations, the books will compete every week and you all will be the judge. After weekly eliminations, the best books will move on in the competition, until only one book is still standing. The overall winning book will be announced on Halloween.

#FridayFeature Romancing the Dark in the City of Light by Ann Jacobus
This week’s book is one I recently found at the dollar tree! Woot, $1. Admittedly, when i read the title i was kind of expecting….something dark….like a vampire romance. Turns out that it’s a regular romance… :/…not my favorite, but i will try to not be too prejudice. I’ve never heard of it and can’t find many reviews. Dang, those “beautiful cover” impulse buys are dangerous, lol. I probably wont start it for atleast a month though. Right now, I’m still reading Wildcat and Moby Dick & I have a few books due for review.

Death By Pumpkin Spice by Alex Erikson
This was a near perfect cozy mystery! It takes place at a Halloween party in a huge (haunted?) mansion during a thunderstorm. What else do you need really? About 80% of the characters are new to this story, so there were many many options on who the killer might be. There were hidden clues throughout that the narrator didn't actually explain, so if you are a seasoned mystery reader, you could probably solve the case before Krissy. This story also had a lot of action...which i found sort of interesting in a cozy mystery. Not sure I've seen a story structure quite like this before, but i really liked it.…
