Hottest Horror Books of the Summer

Image
So there was a thing on Goodreads that made me feel a little excluded. This thing was hard to avoid seeing because they placed a big, ugly banner atop the website that was hard to miss. This thing was a link to their list of the Hottest Books of Summer . This list was lukewarm for me, at best, because it excluded many genres and seemed a wee bit uninspired. I put out a snarky little tweet on Twitter to voice my frustration and Toni the Reader agreed that we should create our own epic list of books that showcased our horror love so here we are! The Hottest Books of Summer?! Says who? There is no horror! 👿 Not a single one. 💔 Horror Peeps should we create one? https://t.co/KmFutLiQIO via @goodreads — barksbknonsense (@barksbknonsense) June 22, 2018 Well. the horror people came through!

I'm going to try to be a semi-consistent contributor. But as always, I make no promises. Today's topic is  Top Ten Bookish Resolutions/Goals.

Reading under pressure sucks all of the joy out of reading. And I still have 8 left . . .  No more Netgalley! I am convinced that site is run by the devil! Of my five stars reads only two of them were review books and neither were from Netgalley. Hmmmm. 2. Learn How to Use Bookstagram ...

             New Books Because You Deserve Them! This is where I spotlight the sparkling new weekly releases that are tempting me so you can succumb to temptation too. The focus will be on dark fiction and romance with the occasional thriller tossed in that catches my eye.  This week is a little slim because I accidentally included a few of this week's releases on last week's post. Oops! You can see them here . HORROR,   HORROR-adjacent & THRILLERS Monumental by Adam L.G. Nevill A Novel of Pagan Terror from the Author of The Ritual A story of life and death in the wilderness, and a horrifying tale of extreme survival against supernatural powers, from the four times winner of the August Derleth Award for Best Horror Novel. Disaster strikes quickly and without warning. What should have been a glorious weekend of kayaking and camping, in a secluded beauty spot, is transformed by a scream. The first crisis, initiating a deadly momentum t...
