Summer Reading? C'est Fini August 31!

[Anne C]

The end is near! Another summer has (somehow) come and gone, and now your reading trackers are due! Submit those books via paper tracker, in Readsquared or right here on Goodreads by AUGUST 31 (Wednesday)!!!

We can't wait to see what you read! Thank you for staying tuned all summer, for chatting with us, and keeping us engaged! Hopefully you'll come back and join us for Winter Reading!

Anne! I just finished The Woman in the Library . Soooo good. Love me some metafiction. Thanks for picking this for Mystery Book Club. I believe this is my 11th book of the summer challenge. My other 10 were:

A Curious Beginning
This Time Tomorrow
Wordslut: A Feminist Guide to Taking Back the English Language
The Worst Best Man
The Secret Bridesmaid
Arsenic and Adobo
The Dictionary of Lost Words
I'm Glad My Mom Died
The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels
The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels

Thanks APL for letting us adults re-live our childhood joy of participating in the summer reading program!

My final books of the challenge from this past week are:

Signal Moon (Kate Quinn’s short story)
The Woman in the Library
Death and the Conjuror
The Queen’s Gambit

I started the audio version of Remarkably Bright Creatures, but probably won’t finish it in time even though I’m home sick, but so far I highly recommend it if anyone is looking for something a little bit different.

Wrapping up the summer, I read The Jaws Log by Carl Gottlieb and The Old Drift by Namwali Serpell

Books I've read this summer:
The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager
A Day Like This by Kelley McNeil
Burnt Offerings by Robert Marasco (I was kicking it old school)
A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay
The Haunted by Bentley Little
Horrorstor by Grady Hendrix (as you can see I was on a real horror kick there for a bit!)
The Last to Vanish by Megan Miranda
Things We Do in the Dark by Jennifer Hillier
Wrong Place, Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister

I mostly enjoyed the books I've read. Got back into the horror genre, which I want to keep going with if I can find more titles. I may due for a re-read of Salem's Lot. I usually read more mystery/thrillers but I needed a little break from that. It was a great summer for reading!
