Whew! As usual, my lofty plans for this month went....sideways. I pictured myself blogging nearly everyday and interacting with other bloggers and, and, and.... it didn't happen. I do not know how people sustain the energy for hosting these huge thematic readathons but, bless them! What Did I Read This Month? I started out by... Continue Reading →
This book is perfect for readers out there who want to enjoy the spooks and specters of the haunting season without the scare. Cornelia Funke, writer of the wonderful Inkheart series, has written a number of other books I have enjoyed but Ghost Knight has the perfect feel for Frighteningly Good Reads. Eleven-year-old Jon Whitcroft never expected... Continue Reading →
The whole purpose of Frighteningly Good Reads is to extend and enjoy the gorgeous month that is October. It is my favorite month culminating in my favorite holiday of all: Halloween! I am thrilled that other bloggers are joining me this year and so on Sunday this year I want to highlight all their amazing... Continue Reading →
This middle grade book is the kind of thrillingly creepy tale that will bring a shiver to your spine even as the last heat of the summer sun continues to burn your skin.

"My darling...you won't last long in this world if you don't know how to spot a witch when you see one." This is not a fairy-tale. This is about real witches.

This may not be a stock "scary book" but I will confess: being trapped on a spaceship or a submarine is a nightmare situation for me. Add any kind of threat and I am at panic level of terror. Usually I pass right by all books set it such a situation but The Illuminae Files by... Continue Reading →
Before I begin: this book is brimming with self harm. It is on nearly every page. If this is something that you struggle with then skip this book and consider heading here instead. I'm not even sure where I acquired this book. Quite possibly, it was for FrighteningGoodReads2018 since the book was published in October, 2018.... Continue Reading →

Happy Halloween! My favorite of all holidays is today! Dressing up (Edna Mode, thank you very much) and festive candy eating is the only thing that will distract me from the end of Frighteningly Good Reads 2018. I have had a wonderful month reading spooky, scary and suspenseful stories and I hope you all have... Continue Reading →
I am going to confess something. I didn't want to read this book. I believe that I purchased it two years ago and started it only to quit three chapters in and shelf the book. If not for a combination of Frighteningly Good Reads and my 2018 Resolutions I probably would never have forced myself... Continue Reading →
