I’m not altogether sure what sort of sorcery this is, but I approve this message.
For anyone who’s read this blog before, you may know that I have a wee bit of a problem actually sticking to TBRs. It’s hard, when you spend all day around books that are screaming PICK ME and you only have a limited amount of reading time each day. Also might have something to do with me being a fickle mood reader, but heeeey, let’s blame all the good books instead.
For anyone who needs a refresher, Frightening Good Reads was hosted by Molly @ Silver Button Books. I posted my possibility pile for this read-a-thon here, and I knew I over-shot the number of books so that I’d have more to choose from.
So did I read all the books? No, of course not. I didn’t expect to. Did I read more than I thought I would? Heck yeah. Look at me, being a semi-functioning adult and sticking to plans!
How I did, by the number …
Because numbers are fun, right? Or maybe numbers are actually terrifying, nightmarish creatures from Hell and so they totally fit the theme of this read-a-thon perfectly. Yeah, let’s go with that one.

You did great😁 I read more spooky books than I thought, even though I didn’t participate. My favorite was The Twisted Ones!
Oh, I’ve been wanting to read that! Local library doesn’t have it, so I’ll have to wait until I pick it up myself, but I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Looks like you had a good time!

I did! I don’t normally read spooky books, so I enjoyed stepping out of my comfort zone.
you did so well!! ugh I really need to read a lush and seething hell. I just love how that title enraptures you truly. congrats on a great october!! and here’s to a wonderful november.
It really is a brilliant title! Rolls nicely off the tongue and is so evocative. Thanks!
Wowow, this is amazing! You did SO WELL! 8/12 is definitely way better than I would’ve ever done. I legit cannot stick to 99.9% of any TBR pile or possibility pile that I pick out 🤣 Great job!
Right? I’m so impressed with myself. I think it’s a record. Normally I’m like you and like … here’s my TBR! 30 seconds later … let’s read these three books. Sorry, what TBR?
