If a month of scary stories sounds like a great time, join me for the FrightFall Readathon. I pulled a huge stack of frightening reads off my bookshelves and then found a few more at the library. I know I won't get to all of them, but I like to have lots of choices to honor my moods as my cravings shift.

A fun month of reading a bit outside my comfort zone. While it didn't go as planned, I enjoyed the readathon. My scary pick generally didn't turn out to be be scary, and the nonfiction and more realistic fiction choices I made turned out to have more scary moments. The formatting for this post gave me nothing but trouble, so it looks wonky and I've decided it's good enough. And done. Until next time!

I didn't know about this Read-a-thon, but I love everything horror related, so I think I'll join it. Thanks for sharing it.
Happy readings!

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoy the readathon!
I have read but not a horror/scary selection yet...these take a bit longer to find among my unread books as not typically my genre. Enjoy the readathon! :-)
I am interpreting scary rather broadly as I make my selections. I loved horror when I was younger, but these days, I'm generally looking for more escapist reads. Real life is scary enough!
You got a lot of great reading in for the readathon. Great job! Thanks for joining us. Hope to see you next time. :)
