Char.

[Char]

We're not going to answer the guesses until Halloween! But until then, guess away if you like!

[WendyB]

The hardest thing would be picking just one list to read from! They're all great books. :)
Hope everyone has fun with this and has a very scary Fall.

[Icy-Cobwebs-In-Space]

Combined, it's a Horror lover's paradise! I've read many, so there will be wonderful revisits plus new experiences.
So difficult to choose....

[Char]

That’s exactly the response we were hoping for!

[Cyndi]

Dipping into List 1. Give me a chance to learn more than the books that this group offers. *dark smile*

[David]

Oh, I wish I could accept this challenge and participate, but too many projects right now prevent it. Everyone have fun!

[Ash]

Aargh so many good books, so little time!

[Melanie]

Are we allowed to know the choice of mods? It's a bit like one of those Christmas competitions where you have to match the baby photo to the adult :)

[Latasha]

I’m glad everyone is having a good time with this!

[Char]

Correct, one list per moderator! We’ll let everyone know the identities of the mods on Halloween!

[Latasha]

Yes it’s just like that but we aren’t revealing until Halloween.

[Latasha]

You can guess which list belongs to which mod even if you aren't reading from any of the them. We will reveal which list is ours on Halloween.

[Marie]

I am not going to be able to read the lists as I am booked up with books till the end of the year! However, I will throw my guesses in here and see how close or on target whichever the case may be to you all! :)

List 1 - Latasha

List 2 - Jon

List 3 - Bark

List 4 - Char

List 5 - Kimberly

List 6 - Wendy

List 7 - Ken

Sorry, I didn't clarify very well, I wasn't sure who all the mods actually are. It's ok, I found them on the home page.

[Latasha]

Oh ok Melanie. Feel free to guess away!

I'm not telling! YET!

I know you are not! lol I have to wait till Halloween! :) But just so you know I think I am pretty close! lol :) Being friends with the mods on here makes it easy when you put challenges up like this as everything all of you read comes across my feed!! LMAO! :)

You can run, but you can't hide! LOL ! :)

[Laurie (barksbooks)]

lol, there is no hiding on the internets :)

[WendyB]

Marie, I might have better luck hiding. Not sure I could run very far. :D

[Marie]

Bark wrote: "lol, there is no hiding on the internets :)"


You got that right! :)

You are funny! lol :)

[Marie]

Also since this group is considered my main group and me having over 2,000 comments on here I am more in-tuned with you all than you think! :) lol I love it! :)

I came up with the ALMOST same answers, with only Char and Kimberley switched lol.

[Elke]

I won't even try to guess, as I don't know all of the mods, but I will follow this thread just to see the outcome.

My reading schedule is very tight right now (I'm determined to reduce my stacks), so I won't join this challenge, but I will definitely peruse the lists to find new titles.

That's great, thank you!
I haven't decided which list to pick, yet. But this sounds like a fun challenge for sure! I am trying to read 4 books. Hope I can do this, I failed terribly on last years Halloween challenge, lol.

I agree with Marie on this one and here's why...

1. Latasha because..vampires!

2. T.E.D. Klein and C.L. Grant on the list? Has to be Jon or Ken, I'm going with Jon.

3. 60% women authors? Easy, Bark.

4. Char loves her slow burn old school classics.

5. and 6. I wasn't sure between these 2, and I didn't want to 'cheat' and look at Wendy and Kimberly's books so I'm trusting Marie's judgement on those two.

7. Here's where we find out who the GR stalkers are, I may have followed some of Ken's recommendations in the past and may have looked through his 5 star reads and I may be a little bit jealous of all his 80's schlock horror with those awesome schlock horror covers......maybe but I'm not stalker!

[Latasha]

😊 Melanie

[Char]

Very observant Melanie!

[Marie]

I see Melanie is "in-tune" too! More elaborate breakdown though! Very cool! So see my dear mods, you really cannot fool your true blue members on here! We just know you too well! :) LOL Next time you want to put up a challenge like that try to make it harder! LOL :)

[Laurie (barksbooks)]

Heehee, love you guys and gals :)

[Char]

We’ll see, Marie!

Cute Alan! LOL :)

[Latasha]

Bring tacos Alan 🐷

[Alan]

Stalking is OK so long as there are tacos. Gotcha.

[Latasha]

Yep, that's right.

[Laurie (barksbooks)]

I'd like a margarita to go with my taco.

Bark wrote: "I'd like a margarita to go with my taco."

Here you go! One Margarita just for you!

[Laurie (barksbooks)]

Ooooh, I could use it right about now, thanks. Too bad I'm stuck at work, lol.
