Thriller Thursday: Top 5 Creepy Books I Wanna Read #ThrillerThursday #HalloweenReads

If you can’t already tell, I’m a total thriller junkie! It’s my fave go-to genre.

Since Halloween is just around the corner, I thought I’d get a head start by listing the top 5 spooky reads on my radar:

1) Rules For Vanishing by Kate Alice Marshall

2) The Tenth Girl by Sara Faring

3) Growing Things And Other Stories by Paul Tremblay

4) The Luminous Dead by Caitlin Starling

5) Imaginary Friend by Stephen Chbosky

Are any of these on your list? What’s on your Halloween TBR??

Book Chat: Top 5 Disappointing Summer Reads

What were your most disappointing reads so far?

I was really looking forward to these ones, but sadly they didn’t quite live up to the hype or my expectations. 😢

I’ve listed them starting with my most disappointing read:

1) Finale by Stephanie Garber

⭐⭐ 1/2

2) The Last House Guest by Megan Miranda

⭐⭐ 1/2

3) Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman

⭐⭐⭐

4) The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang

⭐⭐⭐

5) The Arrangement by Robyn Harding

⭐⭐⭐1/2

In all fairness, The Arrangment was a good read. It’s just that I expected more from it and didn’t love it like I did with Her Pretty Face.

[#Reviewathon] Netgalley TBR @NetGalley

Who else is guilty of going on a request binge on Netgalley, and having a long list of books waiting to be read and reviewed? 🙋‍♀️

Right now Netgalley is hosting a reviewathon challenge to help tackle all those ARC’s, and I have joined in all the fun.

It’s still week 1, which is to show off your TBR (To Be Reviewed). Here’s mine:

I’ve completed one so far (The Arrangement). YAY!

I try not to request too many, but it’s hard not to cause 1) there are just too many good books, and 2) I don’t always get approved for all the ones I’m interested in reading.

How do you tackle your eARC’s?

How many books are on your Netgalley TBR??
