Hi friends! šš» Weāre getting closer to autumn, which means that weāre almost at Halloween! Of course, if youāre anything like me, every day is Halloween because I have watched almost nothing but horror movies for two years now.
If youāve been reading my blog for a long time, youāll know about Spooky Month and Sci-Fi Month, so those should give you the reasons why my autumn TBRs are always exclusively horror and sci-fi.
Hide by Kiersten White - I just started reading this one this weekend so I donāt have much to say just yet!
Reprieve by James Han Matson - I got this book from my library and while it sounds very interesting, my brain keeps gravitating away from the story to the social commentary side that I keep reading about. I love horror that has social commentary, so Iāll be taking my time with this one.
The Woods Are Always Watching by Stephanie Perkins - I donāt follow a lot of authors on social media anymore, and Stephanie Perkins isnāt that active anyway, so I didnāt know that this book existed until I saw it on the shelves in bookshops. I really enjoyed Thereās Someone Inside Your House so Iām excited to see how this one turns out!
Mina and the Undead by Amy McCaw - Itās been so long since I said I was going to read this book that it now has a sequel. Whoops.
My Heart is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones - Iāve heard a lot of good things about SGJās books and I was trying to choose between this book and The Only Good Indians, which I also have a copy of but since this book has been described as a love letter to slashers, I decided to go with it.
Auroraās End by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff - How many times have I put this book on a seasonal TBR?? But seriously, Iām determined to finally read this so that itās not laughing at me from my bedside anymore.
The This by Adam Roberts - I mentioned this in my Adult TBR post, and Iām still very interested to see how it turns out!
Mirrorās Edge by Scott Westerfeld - I think I got this book for Christmas last year but my brain is getting fuzzier and fuzzier so I donāt remember, but Scott Westerfeld is a favourite of mine so it doesnāt really matter when I got the book.
The Space Between Worlds by Micaiah Johnson - Another one I talked about before, Iām hoping that someone doesnāt get it from the library before I do.
Youngbloods by Scott Westerfeld - This is not only a new addition to my shelves but one that I was surprised to find out about because I am terrible at keeping up with new releases. Things just appear on shelves and then I get surprised that they exist.
talk to me!
Whatās on your autumn (or spring) TBR?
On the cover of The Woods are always Watching, text is used very effectively. It looks scary but intriguing.
Author
Itās definitely a great cover! š
Youāve got some great reads lined up, I enjoyed Hide, Mina and the Undead, My Heart is a Chainsaw and The This. I only realised a few years ago that Iād started reading horror without realising it, and now I have a whole new genre to delve into and add to my lists.

The horror bug is definitely the kind that creeps up on you š
I canāt wait for Halloween. These all look like great reads. š

Have a great week š

I hope you enjoy Aurora Rising! š
I recently saw a 99p deal for Johnsonās book on Kindle and immediately scooped it up cos Iāve heard lots of good things about it. I also still need to finish the Aurora Cycle but Iām not looking forward to saying bye to these characters! I hope you enjoy all of these books š
Author
Thatās a good deal! I think not wanting to say bye to the characters is why Iāve put off finishing the Aurora Cycle too š
Iāve been meaning to read Mina and The Undead for ages too, I really need to get around to it one of these days.

My Heart Is a Chainsaw is definitely a letter to slasher movies. Definitely want to go back at some point and watch all the movies it mentioned that I havenāt seen. Hope you get a chance to pick all these up!
Author
Iām curious to see which movies are mentioned now!
Not really planning seasonal TBRs, though I do have a TBR that I am building for October, featuring tons of spookiness.
I hope you enjoy all your books on your list, Mina and the Undead was fab! And I see a few others I would like to put on my Spooktober list~
Author
I hope you enjoy your October TBR! Itās always a good time to read some spookies š
Iām curious about The Woods Are Always Watching. I liked her book, Thereās Someone Inside Your House.
Author
Itās been a long since since I read Thereās Someone Inside Your House but I remember enjoying it š
I really want to give Mina and the Undead a go, too, and keep forgetting about it! I hope you enjoy these.

Iām curious how you like Hide. My 14-year-old is into spooky books, and this is one that she has shown an interest in. Horror is not a genre I read, so I always have to look for other peopleās input for books she might like.

Aw, POOH BEAR! But My Heart is a Chainsaw has been on my list of things to read for a bit now.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!

Haha, every day is Halloween for me too! I canāt get enough spooky stuff (or candy). I hope you love these books!
Author
Itās always spooky season for me! š
haha, I know the feeling of adding books to my TBR over and over. I hope you get to Auroraās End!! Then you can check off finishing a trilogy too.
Author
I hope so too! Iām itching to see how the series ends š
Scott Westerfeldās book covers are fantastic, I just love these so much. I also really need to keep on going with this Impostor series, I only read the first book! š
Happy reading!!

There has yet to be a Westerfeld cover that I havenāt liked! I hope you do continue with Impostors, itās so good! š
