The 52 Book Club: 2025 Challenge discussion

October 2022 - Related To The Word "Dark"

For this final prompt, feel free to get as creative as you like! You could choose a cover with a nighttime design or darker colors as graphics. It could be a book with dark themes, a title with the word “dark” in it, or a book by an author with the last name “Dark.” The word dark could also relate to a specific character or a realm in which the novel is set. You could choose creepy, gothic, and haunted, or go with a much lighter genre but choose a book that has a black spine, for example. There are an endless variety of interpretations for this prompt and we can’t wait to see what you come up with!

I read Dead Witch Walking by Kim Harrison, 3 Stars

I’ll be reading Daisy Darker by Alice Feeney!

I am trying to read more classics so I thought I might give The Scarlet Letter a try. It is classified as Dark Romanticism so I think it should work.

The Dark Archive by Genevieve Cogman is up next for me in this series.

I'm reading Darkness on the Edge of Town, a Stranger Things novel, by Adam Christopher for this!

My choice for this one is A Flicker in the Dark by Stacy Willingham
