The Virgin of Small Plains A Novel of Suspense By Nancy Pickard. Good mystery for October. :)

[Tera, First Chick]

Oh good. I was hoping someone would nominate a good halloween type book.

FOUR more nomination spots open.

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins

[Joy]

If you want Halloween-ish, how about Frankestein by Mary Shelley? Or Dracula by Bram Stoker?

Sorry- that was two! Now I can't decide...

[Julie]

What about The Historian

[Tera, First Chick]

lol Joy ya gotta pick one

[Nadia]

What about In The Woods by Tana French? I hear that its a bit scary.

[Joy]

Alright, Dracula since I haven't read it yet.

[Jennifer W]

In The Woods was really good, but it gets intense. I nominated Virgin of Small Plains because it's a mystery, but it's got a lot of other things going on too. :)
