Laurel County’s comments from the Laurel County Public Library group.

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a great weekend. What do you currently have checked out from the library?

I don't have anything new checked out since last week.

1. Writers & Lovers by Lily King - for Bookmarked book club
2. Plain Bad Heroines by Emily M. Danforth - since I didn't finish it last month
3. A Lesson in Vengeance by Victoria Lee - a friend's book club pick
4. Under the Whispering Door by T.J. Klune - possible buddy read this month
5. In My Dreams I Hold A Knife by Ashley Winstead - another possible buddy read this
6. Dead Space by Kali Wallace
7. Goblin by Josh Malerman
8. The Burning Girls by C.J. Tudor
9. My Best Friend's Exorcism by Grady Hendrix
10. The Last Final Girl by Stephen Graham Jones
11. The Chill by Scott Carson
12. The Mary Shelley Club by Goldy Moldavsky
13. The Near Witch by Victoria Schwab
14. The Last House on Needless Street by Catriona Ward
15. Chasing the Boogeyman by Richard Chizmar

Note: I'm a mood reader so these give me options. This is more of a list of potentials. I don't think I will get to all of these but these are some that I'd like to choose from in October. Some are books that I need to prioritize, like for book clubs.

QOTD (Question of the Day): Happy October everyone! What books are on your October TBR?
(Note: I switched from using numbers to just labeling these QOTD, which is what I will use now and going forward.)

Happy Friday! Hope you had a great week! What does everyone plan on reading this weekend?

My weekend reading plans consist of making more progress in Plain Bad Heroines since I didn't finish it in September like I wanted to.

438. How many books have you read this month? Are you trying to finish up anything by the end of the day?

This Thursday's topic:
Since October starts tomorrow, which do you prefer - creepy books or cozy books?

437. What was the last series you completed? (This can be a series that is finished and/or a series that you've read all of the published books that are in the series so far.)

Happy Wednesday! What have you recently finished reading? What are you currently reading? What do you plan on reading next?

Sadly my reading update is still the same. I'm still currently reading Plain Bad Heroines. I haven't finished anything recently and I'm not sure what I'll read next.

436. What was the last book you added to your Goodreads to-read shelf?

Today's Top Ten Tuesday:
Favorite Novellas/Short Stories

Vivian wrote: "I almost wish there was a follow up novel for The House in the Cerulean Sea. I want to know how Linus and Arthur are doing! Even if it was a novella I'd be okay with that."

I definitely agree with this! I know it's a totally different story but I'm excited to start his new book.

435. Is there a book or series that you wish could have a companion novel or prequel?

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a great weekend. What do you currently have checked out from the library?

I have A Fate of Wrath & Flame by K. A. Tucker.

434. Is there a book you like to read every Fall?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a great week! What does everyone plan on reading this weekend?

I'm still reading Plain Bad Heroines. I have a pretty busy weekend so I'm hoping to read a decent chunk of it. I'd like to finish it but we shall see...fingers crossed.

433. Have you ever had a conversation with a stranger that was initiated because of a book?

This Thursday's topic:
If you see someone reading in public, do you look to see what they're reading or no?

Side note: There was a POPSUGAR reading challenge from a couple of years ago that was to read a book that you see someone else reading in public. There's also an Instagram account called subwaybookreview that features what books people are reading that ride the subway in NYC.

It's a very unique way to get recommendations and branch out of your reading comfort zone.

Debra Digs wrote: "I looked over my list and cannot decide which one. But it will be another week before I start."

Yeah, I am indecisive on my list too. I'm currently reading a book that is classified as like gothic horror. But I'm so excited for October! I want to read a bunch of spooky books.

Vivian wrote: "I really want to start with Under the Whispering Door by T.J. Klune."

Me too! I love the cover and someone told me they sobbed at the end.

Elizabeth wrote: "Krystyna wrote: "432. Today is the first day of Fall, officially. What book, off of your Fall TBR, are you starting with first?"

What exactly is a Fall read? A book set in autumn or just what you ..."

Books off of your fall to-read list, so this could be any book you plan on reading during the fall. Typically, people gravitate towards spooky reads like horror or thrillers. It can also be books set in Autumn or any book that you think will give you all the fall vibes.
