Books From The Backlog: WOMB 8 Tales of Maternal Mayhem by Megan Hart


Carole @ Carole's Random Life In Books has created a fun feature called Books from the Backlog to spotlight neglected and unloved books that have been sitting on your bookshelf for too long.

If you would like to join in, click the pic above to find out more.

My Neglected Book of the Week is WOMB 8 Tales of Maternal Mayhem by Megan Hart which has a 3.33 rating on Goodreads. There are only two reviews, however, so that's not saying much.


The Goodreads Blurbage:

The bond between mother and child is supposed to be sacred, but what happens when it becomes something else? Some mothers will do anything to for their children…even give (or take) their lives.

Featuring the stories 
Rising Waters 
Mother's Milk 
Over Hill 
The Killing Point 
A Cheap Gold Chain 
Cockles and Mussels 
The Annual Grandchild Reunion 
Blood Born 

Why did I add this book to my tbr pile? Author Megan Hart generously sent me this book, along with a bunch of others, after I complained that Netgalley had only sent me a partial ARC of her newest book. You can read a little more about that here if you want to. Megan Hart writes in several genres which I didn't know until she contacted me. I read, loved and reviewed her unique book LOVELY WILD and keep meaning to get to this beautiful stack of books she sent me but something else always has to come first. Sooooooon little creepy book, soon!

You can find yourself a copy of Womb at  Amazon
                

Have you read anything by Megan Hart?

    That cover is super creepy, although it looks familiar for some reason. This definitely sounds good, I'm not familiar with this author😊

      You've probably seen it on a recent release and/or on our instagram challenge. It's a stock photo that's been used a few times. I know one of the recent ladies of horror fiction books has it on the cover but I'm blanking on the title.

      It was above and beyond and I feel terrible for not reading it by now. Those ARC's keep making me push it back :(

I tried this meme last year and though it was incredibly fun I never revisited it because I spent the rest of the year breaking my promises to myself and reading ARC's and review copies instead of my TBR pile.I hope to change it this year and read at least one book a month from the TBR stacks. Michelle @  Because Reading  created and hosts the meme. Here they are, three actual books randomly plucked from one of my piles. Perfect for the Valentines season, right?!  Please feel free to let me know if any of these are not worth reading! I am determined to learn how to DNF properly. The Books              I actually picked these out for a Twitter post in January and meant to do the meme then because the Twitter-verse wasn't interested in my tbr pile. I did have one vote for Blood Rubies & In Cold Blood.  Click Cover for More About the Books             ...
