Welcome a New Meme!

Well, it is new here at On The Shelf, but not new in general.  I used to love Cover Crazy hosted by The Book Worms, but sadly, it came to and end.  I talked to Tawni and asked if she would be okay with me taking on the meme under a new name and she agreed!  So I am excited to announce that starting this coming Saturday, I will be hosting…..

So get those gorgeous covers ready to be spotlighted this weekend!  I look forward to hosting this meme since it was one of my favorites and I hope to see  lots of covers!

 

October = Halloween = Spooky Reads!

Along with loving fall, I also love Halloween!  I love Halloween movies, costumes, music, special series episodes, and of course READING!  I am hoping to get some good reading in for Halloween and I have quite a list of book I want to try to read this month.  Because of work I only get to read about 4 books a month, but I want to try to stay as busy as possible reading this month and read as many Halloween type books as I can, especially since November is NaNoWriMo and I won’t get nearly enough reading done in November.  I also tried to get some good Halloween audiobooks, but there wasn’t a good selection when I went to the library.  So here is my list of hopeful reads, which of course is subject to change 🙂

Alice in Zombieland – Gena Showalter

House of Leaves – Mark Z. Danielewski

Ten – Gretchen McNeil

Something Strange and Deadly – Susan Dennard

Bone Dressing – Michelle I. Brooks

The Darkening Dream – Andy Gavin

Girl of Nightmares – Kendare Blake

And of course any other ones I think of along the way.  For Something Strange and Deadly, I will be participating in a read along with Brittany @ The Book Addict’s Guide.  You can find the button in my sidebar if you would like to participate.  Happy haunted reading!
