From your list, I picked The Hunger by Alma Katsu and All Our Wrong Todays by Elan Mastai , and for your genre, I picked a horror novel that I read and absolutely loved a few years ago, The Policy by Bentley Little . He's one of my absolute favorite authors. ^_^

The BONUS book requirement is ONE book unless you want to recommend more than one, then you are free to do so.

So Fleurette, I am fine with the book you recommended unless you wanted to recommend more. I only added two bonus books because I am always wanting to recommend as many books as I can to people.

Great. I have that one and I think it looks really interesting.


Malina Skrobosinski | 70 comments Chelle wrote: "Chelle's September Dusty Bookshelf-

Malina picks The Night Crossing by Robert Masello and Down Among the Sticks and Bones (Wayward Children, #2) by Seanan McGuire for me, with a Bonus of Boneshaker (The Clockwork Century, #1) by Cherie Priest.

I am not familiar with Steampunk mystery, so I hope this is something that falls within that genre, and also, something that you haven't already read. If I'm off base, or it's something you've already read, please let me know.

Happy reading!

The Good Samaritan by John Marrs and Dark Matter by Blake Crouch and I really ..."


Thank you Debbie, I'm actually looking forward to reading Dark Matter, I'm glad you selected it. I'm going to try my best to read both titles in September, my goals are high. lol

I will also do my best to read the title you have chosen for me, if nothing else, I'm adding it to my tbr list and will definitely look for this title for the future, as I am a fan of Dan Brown and currently have two titles on my tbr/bookshelf.

Thanks again, and happy reading!

Candy | 43 comments For Jenn
I pick Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman and Word and Breath (Wordless Chronicles, #1) by Susannah Noel

For your bonus book I pick Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter (Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, #1) by Seth Grahame-Smith since it's my favorite guilty pleasure read.

Hope you enjoy :)

Thanks for the picks. I have a ton of Harlequin novels just sitting around, not being read, so it'll be nice to get a few out of the way (I donate all my read books, except for the ones I wanna reread, to my local library). As for the bonus picks, Nice Dragons sounds sooooooooo good! It is very much right up my alley. The library doesn't have it, so I'll hafta grab it from Amazon. Totally worth it if it's anywhere near as good as it sounds. ^_^

Huh. I have no idea what happened there, but sure, I'll go with those then. Thank you! I've already read Skin Game though, could you give me another bonus recommendation? :)

fleurette | 54 comments I have finished both of my picks: Dying to Tell (Slaughter Creek #1) by Rita Herron A Face to Die for by Andrea Kane and started my bonus book.

I definitely enjoyed Dying to Tell (here is my review) much more than A Face to Die for (review). But I'm glad that I read both of the books. Thanks for picks, Karina!

message 90: by Kari (new)

Kari | 637 comments I finished my 2 picks and my bonus.
Level Up by Annabeth Albert was average and Beauty Found (Hades Hangmen, #6.5) by Tillie Cole was amazing.
@Chelle, I really liked the bonus you chose for me All I Want for Halloween by Marie Harte . It was funny and romantic, exactly what I was in the mood for and I'll be looking for more books by this author. Thanks again for my picks :-)


message 91: by fleurette (new)

fleurette | 54 comments I have finished also my bonus book - The Darkest Hour. This means that I have read all three of my picks. Thanks for great picks, Karina!

The Darkest Hour (KGI, #1) by Maya Banks


message 92: by GreenFairy (last edited Sep 16, 2018 05:20AM) (new)

GreenFairy (greenfairy429) So far I have read Iron and Magic (The Iron Covenant, #1) by Ilona Andrews . If you've read the Kate Daniels series, you know all about Hugh D'Ambrey. It's sort of a spin-off of Kate Daniels but it's also a part of Kate Daniels.

I also read the bonus book Once Perfect (Shattered Past, #1) by Cecy Robson . New author for me. I wasn't really interested in it much. Both kept secrets until a situation came up that forced them to share. And these two are supposed to be in love? Communication between them was lacking. Overall it was alright. The last chapter should have been Epilogue rather than a chapter (view spoiler)

I'm currently reading Sinners at the Altar (Sinners on Tour, #6) by Olivia Cunning .

I just finished Stalking Jack the Ripper (Stalking Jack the Ripper, #1) by Kerri Maniscalco and loved it. Thanks for the recommendation Ashleigh! I never would have thought to pick this book up otherwise.


message 94: by VampAmber (last edited Sep 16, 2018 07:13PM) (new)

VampAmber | 622 comments Finished my first book, A Mom for His Daughter by Jean C. Gordon , last night, and it was as adorable as I thought it would be (I'm a sucker for a romance novel where kids are involved). I'm not quite halfway through my second pick, but I'm probably going to start my genre pick, Nice Dragons Finish Last (Heartstrikers, #1) by Rachel Aaron , first, because I'm really looking forward to it. It beckons me from my Nook.

I finished Down Among the Sticks and Bones (Wayward Children, #2) by Seanan McGuire and We Sold Our Souls by Grady Hendrix this month and REALLY liked both of them. I'm not sure I will get to The Night Crossing by Robert Masello this month.


message 97: by Karen ♐ (new)

Karen ♐ (kmk1214) | 2367 comments Penumbra, really enjoyed both of your picks... All You Need is Love (Green Mountain, #1) by Marie Force and Stone Cold Love (Dangerous Futures Book 1) by Colleen Charles


Danielle  Gypsy Soul (afdaniellet) | 1925 comments Marty,

Thanks for the picks - I finished both and the bonus. I really loved Out of the Ashes but the other two were just ok


message 99: by Marty (last edited Sep 27, 2018 12:51PM) (new)

Marty (martymill) | 1301 comments Finished A Darker Shade of Magic A Darker Shade of Magic (Shades of Magic, #1) by V.E. Schwab today. I was disappointed in this novel. I gave it three stars for good writing style and an interesting premise, but no more than that because of the bland main characters. I really didn't care about either one of them. I don't know if I'll give the rest of this series a shot or not.

I finished Maisie Dobbs (Maisie Dobbs, #1) by Jacqueline Winspear two days ago and absolutely loved it. Definitely a new series for me! Still slogging through The Golden Notebook by Doris Lessing from August - ugh - but am determined to finish it.
