Wrap-up: https://seasonsreading.blogspot.com/2...

I'm in! I have SO MUCH horror on my TBR, and I always think I'll read a lot of it around Hallowe'en, and then I run out of time and hardly read any. I need to get in the spoopy mood during other parts of the year!

My stack is to be determined, but will definitely include some Fear Street.

Just FYI...I'm now hosting a new yearly horror reading challenge called I Read Horror Year-Round to get people to do just that. You should check it out. :)

Woot Woot!

Well, I have not prepared whatsoever. lol. But I am starting the month with a historical mystery audio ARC .

@Elyse
Don't feel bad. Me either. I was struck ill late Sunday... thought it was the flu or maybe Covid (though I've had my first vaccination), but turned out to be cellulitis in my leg. Luckily, I started antibiotics Tuesday so I felt just okay enough to get the starting post up last night. Still not sure what I'm going to read. Oh, I am actually reading a historical mystery myself for my True Book Talk book group this month. The Owl Killers by Katherine Maitland. So there's one I know for sure anyway. lol
Hope you enjoy yours.

Now i am reading

Beginning...

Hope everyone is enjoying their reading.

I posted an important reminder link up in the top post of this thread. Be sure to check it out. :)

Happy reading!

I was going to wait to read until closer to publication date (July) but I clearly must read it in April! Cruising through the Bridgerton series right now so those definitely don't count. lol.

Finished 11-22-63 by Stephen King today. Even in audio, at 1.5X speed, it's a long one!


Currently listening to On What Grounds by Cleo Coyle

Elyse: Looks interesting!

Kelley: Did you like it...11-22-63?

Prize page is posted on the blog (link in top post above).

I still plan to read this month but I've been reading fantasy and romance so far! lol. Finally starting another historical mystery today . I do love this series! I don't think I have it in me to read any true horror right now. The real world is horror enough.

Michelle wrote: Kelley: Did you like it...11-22-63?..."

Yes, it was pretty good. I had actually seen the limited series on Hulu a while back so I pretty much knew what to expect but I still enjoyed the book.

Hi had to dnf

now i am reading this is a reread for me

Turns out this little sneak is a thriller! More than halfway through.

I could not get myself to read the first half of this month, (I was going through something but the real problem was most definitely my overthinking it.)

Did manage to get back this weekend and finished:


Started:

Which I'm not entirely loving but I like that I am reading through it quickly which is probably what I need right now.

So far I've read or am reading several that fit into the theme of the challenge.

I should have all of these finished before the end of the month. Especially since the Dewey readathon is this weekend. :-) The only one that is iffy to finish in time is Blind Salvage since I just started it today. I'm about halfway through it, but it is my "in car" listen and i don't know if I'll do enough driving between now and end of the month to finish it. I might though. I have it as a downloadable version in my graphic audio app too so there is that.

I keep meaning to post a mid-point update; this is more of a 3/4 update. As of 22nd, have read 23: 8 are straight out Horror, 14 SF inc. A few Dystopia and Apocalyptic, 3 Fantasy.

I have finally started and it's only 300 pages so I should be able to finish it by Friday night.
I also happened upon this audiobook in my Audible backlog so I was excited for that! Started it today. And I can also see where it fits into I Read Horror Year-Round Challenge!
I started reading (mystery/thriller) today and will also hopefully finish it by Friday night. lol. I had thought it published on May 4 but it's actually not until June 15! But I already started it so I'm invested. lol. These three should close out my "horror" month.

So far I've read or am reading several that fit into the theme of the challenge.
