Rachel’s comments from the 2022 ONTD Reading Challenge group.

It's fun to read it and remember the movie! I can remember some of the dialogue by the actors so I hear the lines in their voices as I read it lol. especially the part when Ellie was sad about Church dying. I feel for her so hard in that scene. :(

Oh, that reminds me, what do you think - do you want to put our discussions under spoiler cuts? It might get annoying having to do that lol. But i'm fine with it if you are :)

I STARTED IT!!

I'm on page 120.

I'm still working through Ghost Road Blues (which I'm really liking, despite the mixed reviews), and I started Bone White by Ronald Malfi that I'm zipping through. Bone White is excellent, very creepy!

I just added both of your books to my TBR shelf, Kelly, thanks!

Yay! I am a dummy - i forgot today was a "holiday" so the library was closed. I am definitely picking it up tomorrow, as I only have until the 11th to do so lol.

I cannot wait to read this - as a kid the movie really scared me, particularly Zelda !

O__o

Buddy read thread!

Synopsis: When the Creeds move into a beautiful old house in rural Maine, it all seems too good to be true: physician father, beautiful wife, charming little daughter, adorable infant son-and now an idyllic home. As a family, they've got it all...right down to the friendly car. But the nearby woods hide a blood-chilling truth-more terrifying than death itself-and hideously more powerful. The Creeds are going to learn that sometimes dead is better

Eve and I are going to buddy read this starting Monday 10/7!

I've never done buddy..."

Yay! I'll set up a thread soon. I'm probably going to pick up Pet Sematary this weekend.

I finished Vampire Mountain , part of the Cirque du Freak series. Really fun, the books have been consistently good.

I'm starting Ghost Road Blues today.

I started reading Dark Harvest yesterday.

I'm going to read Pet Sematary and Salem's Lot this month if anyone is interested in buddy reading!

I've only read Gwendy's Button Box out of those. It's VERY short and so you will finish it within a day or 2, easy. I liked it!

i loved those books, too!!!

oh good to know that book was rec'd! it's been on my TBR shelf and i keep meaning to read it!

I personally did not get to the September task this month, so I plan on coming back to this after October.

Let us know how your reading went in September, if you had trouble completing this month's task, if you enjoyed the book you read and whether you'd recommend it!

I'm still working through Summer of Night and it's SOOO GOOD.

and I also started With a Voice that is Often Still Confused But is Becoming Ever Louder and Clearer because the author sent it to me a few weeks ago and I feel guilty that I hadn't started it yet. It's a collection of short stories, so good to have when I want to read something else.`

We will be submitting a book post for this on ONTD later today so be on the lookout for that later :)

Gargoyles, psychics, everything’s ungodly! October is a month for spooky reads!

I finished River of Teeth by Sarah Gailey and was pretty disappointed... It was okay.

I just started Summer of Night by Dan Simmons and lovin it! i already read the sequel, A Winter Haunting, lol.

yeah, I think only books people have read and not currently reading should count

Eve wrote: "Oh man this is going to be interesting. So many things to choose from..."

Yeah!

I keep trying to tackle my TBR shelf and my actual literal bookshelf but i keep finding new books to read lmao.

I kept forgetting to check in this month.

I finished The Call by Peadar Ó Guilín and would 100% recommend it.

Then I finally finished The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter by Theodora Goss.

They are both YA, but The Call was a more interesting read for sure. I liked them both, though. Strange Case was fun, but in a lighter way (even though murders were taking place).

Then I read Hot Blooded by Lisa Jackson, which was totally a guilty pleasure so if anyone is looking for a trashy book about a serial killer in New Orleans who is obsessed with a radio talkshow host then I recommend it :D
