Today I'm linking up with Top Ten Tuesday hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl which is all about lists. Since lists are one of my favorite things this is one of my favorite linkups! Today's topic is a Halloween Freebie so I'm looking at 10 Halloween-y books on my TBR. I'm kind of a wimp when it comes to super scary or a lot of gore so these are more in the PG to P-13 range of Halloween-y books.
1. The Witches by Roald Dahl - I really love Dahl's books and this is one I haven't read that looks perfect for Halloween.
2. Seances Are For Suckers by Tamara Berry - I love this author's cozy mysteries and this one involving a psychic (?) sounds like a fun cozy Halloween read.
3. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving - I've never read this story though I've been working on planning a trip to Sleepy Hollow so I feel like I should read it before I go.
4. The Shadow of Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon - This one has been on my TBR for ages and it looks like it may be a bit eerie.
5. The Haunting of Maddy Claire by Simone St James - Of course when I need something ghosty and spooky a Simone St. James books has to be on the list!
6. The Witch of Willow Hall by Hester Fox - I have other books by this author on my TBR and this one looks really good!
7. The Ghost and Mrs. Muir by R.A. Dick - So this one isn't spooky in the slightest, but it does involve a ghost, and I really want to reread it!
8. A Skeleton in the Family by Leigh Perry - This cozy mystery series involves a skeleton that happens to have a skeleton in the closet - and this skeleton talks and sounds like it's very opinionated!
9. A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness - I know so many people who love this series and I really want to read the first book.
10. Murder Can Mess Up Your Masterpiece by Rose Pressey - A cozy mystery with a ghost and a chihuahua - what could be more fun?
What Halloween-y reads are on your TBR?
We read a lot of Roald Dahl when Tristan was growing up. Love his style.
ReplyDeleteThe only one I have read is A Discovery of Witches and I enjoyed it.

Great list, I too have wondered about reading A Discovery of Witches. May be you'll read it first and entice me to read it!
