Spooks and Tea: Grimoire Notes
For anyone who isn’t aware I run a book club and for October we’re doing a horror genre read-a-thon and as this is not only my final day hosting Blogoween but also my final day blogging before my vacation I figured now was a perfect time for myself and others to share what they’ve read so far this month in hopes of being able to recommend some good reads to others.
I loved this and have alreayd graced you with a review.
Slothilda | ⭐⭐⭐
I picked this up due to my fear of sloths. I guess its a humourus read but mostly I just wanted it to be over and done with haha.
Empire of Storms | ⭐⭐⭐⭐
I did it, I’m finally getting close to being up to date with Throne of Glass. Not a horror at all here but maybe it is that y’all had that ending to deal with for so long.
Grandpa Christmas | ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ooops, I skipped ahead a few months but honestly if you have a small child please buy them this book. Its a great one that talks about the importance of loving our planet and it does so in a way that is approachable for children.
Alt-Life | ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Another graphic novel, not really a straight up horror but it explores alternate reality similar to that of The Matrix but human designed and welcomed. Leaves you questioning a lot of things.
The Graveyard Book | ⭐⭐⭐
I tried so hard to get into this book but I didn’t really connect to any of the characters. I read 150 pages and then skimmed the rest. Its a fine read but I guess just not for me.
I’m still currently reading a bunch of horror-esque or Halloween related books though. My nose is stuck in Blood Crescent, New Fears II, Wicca: A modern guide to witchcraft and magick, and Forsaken Genesis.
I would also love to find time for The Plotters by Un-su Kim, The Furies by Katie Lowe, Strange Ink by Gary Kemble, and The Boneless Mercies by Genevieve Tucholke!
Have you read any of these? Which of my horror books should I focus on for the rest of the month?
I’m so bad at keeping to my TBR piles I’m not sure why I ever pick them out haha. I hope your reading is
Ouh, wicca seems interresting to me!
also idk why but “grampa christmas” made me giggle x) Lot’s of books read so far, which ended up lots of good ones too ! yay!
I’ve read none of these haha, I love the look of Wicca though.
