TGIF! (5)
Friday, October 28, 2011
TGIF is a weekly feature on GReads! that features a different question every week, and lets bloggers review their posts.
This Friday's Question:
Spooktacular Reads: Which books do you consider festive Halloween reads? Which stories have chilled you to the bone?
Honestly, off the top of my head, I'd consider these books/stories creepy, festive Halloween reads:
The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson (See my review!)
Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl
The Tell-Tale Heart//The Cask of Amontillado by Edgar Allen Poe
What are your suggestions for a festive/scary Halloween read?

ReplyDeleteNot a big Poe fan, but he knew what he was doing, all right.
ReplyDeleteI bought The Name of the Star a few weeks ago, and I'm DYING to read it! I must be sure to get to that soon. :)
ReplyDeleteI loved Beautiful Creatures! I'll have to check out The Name of The Star. Great TGIF
ReplyDeleteI love eap, especially the tale-tell heart and the fall of the house of usher, and i really do want to read name of the star
ReplyDeleteI've been listening to the Complete Works of Edgar Allen Poe on my ipod this week! Trev @ trevsliteraryreview.blogspot.com
ReplyDeletei'm really wanting to read name the start too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Creatures! AWESOME choice. Love that series, am DYING to get Beautiful Chaos and The Name of the Star. I heard she was really detailed with Jack the Ripper and Victorian England--very cool! Great choices :)

She was extremely detailed when it came to the stuff about England and Jack the Ripper, and I loved that. It was a scary book, but I loved it!
DeleteAll great suggestions. The Cask...really freaked me out when I read it forever ago.
ReplyDeleteI love the Caster Chronicles series SO MUCH! There is just such a creep factor to it but it is not over the top scary. Great picks :)
ReplyDeletethank you for this awesome giveaway!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I didn't know Beautiful Creatures was scary. Maybe I should rethink reading it.
ReplyDeleteBut I so want to read The Name of the Star!
I don't know why but Beautiful Creatures completely creeped me out when I read it. It might have had to do with the fact that I read it late on a stormy night...
DeleteI'm glad to see The Name of the Star on here! I just borrowed it from the library and I'm excited that I'll have something a little creepy to read in these next coming days. :D
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
