“Reading was not a fallback position for her but an ideal state of being.”

“There's always time to read. Don't trust a writer who doesn't read. It's like eating food prepared by a cook who doesn't eat.”

“She might not be as strong as everyone she met, or as fast, or even as smart. But she could bullshit with the best of them. Combine that with a license to carry, and a girl could more than get by in this life.”

Polls
October Author Read: Some Scary Sh**
Vote for who we will read in October. Choose one of the listed authors, or add one of your own----please be sure the one you want to add is not already on the list. And please make sure the nominated author has at least a few books to choose from.
I'm looking for authors that do scary, spooky, gory, grisly, creepy, crime, deviant, deranged, chiller, thriller, killer or any other thing that fits this category. I want some real scary stuff here! More than a cozy mystery or a classic.
You can change your vote anytime before the poll closes. So if you've voted, and someone adds an author you want to change your vote to, feel free.
