🧠 Author Appreciation: Stephen King, fear-monger and feelings-haver.
Come for the horror, stay for the existential ache of growing up, messing up, and remembering too much.
🧟 Bonus: The scariest monsters aren’t even monsters.

📣 Quick Check-In for Bookopoly Signups!
If you’ve signed up, please double-check that the following required steps are complete:
📋 You can check the signups here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
✅ A working Goodreads profile link was included on your form.
Some players didn’t leave a link, or the link doesn’t go to a valid profile. If that might be you, comment in the sign-up thread with the information from your sign-up, so I can match you up!
✅ If you invited someone to play, please double-check that they’ve actually joined the HOB group. Group membership is required to play, and I can’t officially add them to teams unless they’re in the group.
🎲 I’ll continue updating the sheet as I go, but your help here makes it way easier (and saves me from full-on detective mode 🕵️♀️).
🚨 REMINDER: You must use the Google Form to sign up!
I've noticed a few people have commented in the thread asking to join — but you’re not officially signed up until you’ve filled out the form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FA...
If you're unable to use the form for some reason, just let me know and I’ll manually add you. But unless you specifically request that, I won’t be chasing people down — the form is what counts!

🚨 Attention, lore-loving weirdos! 🚨
No brave soul has stepped up to run the Lore Vault yet… which means you’re stuck with me. Yep, I’m your gloriously unqualified Vault Keeper for now.
So quit loafing, grab your thinking caps (or tinfoil helmets), and march those delightful behinds over to the Vault to answer some polls! Go on, scoot! 🏃♀️💨📚

🎪 Step Right Up... If You Dare! 🎪
Team Challenge: September – November 2025 (with non-competitive chaos continuing afterward!)
This year, the clowns are taking a back seat—because something far more sinister has crept in… cursed toys and haunted objects are running amok across Goodreads! 😱
Your team must consult the Toy Chest of Dread to receive your (very not optional) task. Each team gets a number from 1 to 24—and no, peeking at other threads won't help you. In fact… it might just throw you way off. I warned you! 😈
And watch out... the Toymaker’s Whim is watching. When it stirs, the Carnival Claw of Fate might reveal a tempting bonus task. Take it—or don't. But once you decide, there’s no turning back.
So grab your team, sharpen your wits, and prepare for a twisted game of toys, terror, and teamwork. Let the madness begin! 🧸🎲💀
Dare to play? The toymakers are waiting...
Mod
📚🗝️ The Lore Vault Opens... 🗝️📚
New discussion scrolls have been uncovered in the Lore Vault—each one filled with curious, twisted, and bookish questions. You can answer one, some, or dive headfirst into them all... the choice (and the consequences 👀) are yours.
Whether you're in the mood to spill your literary secrets or just stir up some mischief, step into the vault and let your voice echo among the tomes.
➡️ The vault awaits your answers
Mod
🎪🧸 Step right up... if you dare! 🧸🎪
The Toymakers are winding up their keys and sharpening their smiles... and they're ready to play.
Bring your friends from near and far—but beware: only those who’ve joined HOB may enter the game.
⚠️ A gentle (yet sinister) reminder:
If you're signing up in groups of three, all players must sign up individually. The Toymakers don’t like to be confused… and you wouldn’t want to upset them.
🕰️ The gears are turning. The game begins soon.
— With cheer and chills,
The Toymakers

🎪🤡 A Quick Note from the Ringmaster’s Desk... 🤡🎪
For those still wrapping up the Killer Clown Roundup, here’s a friendly reminder:
You’re now playing non-competitively, which means… 🥁
🎉 You can bank books! 🎉
That’s right—any books you've read since the competitive portion ended can now be used to complete past prompts, as long as they haven’t already been used.
I’ve seen a few of you mention holding off on the new version while you finish the old one—so don’t forget to scan your recent reads! There might be something lurking in your TBR graveyard just waiting to be claimed.
Go forth, check your shelves, and make those clowns proud. Or nervous. Preferably both. 🤡📚

📚🕯️ A Message from the Lore Vault (yes, me) 🕯️📚
sigh It's me. The Lore Vault. Again.
Listen, I’m not saying your usual host is terrible, but... do you know how many glitter pens they tried to use in here? I’m a sacred archive of twisted tales and forgotten knowledge—not a scrapbook from summer camp.
So here’s the deal:
I need volunteers. Brave souls. Curious minds. People who can ask good questions without including emojis shaped like cupcakes.
Running the Vault is easy:
⭐Post some bookish polls.
⭐Ask intriguing, spooky, or weird questions.
⭐Stir up discussion.
⭐Don’t set me on fire.
Simple.
If no one steps up, I’ll be forced to endure another round of her running things. Do you want that?
Do I want that??
No. No one does.
So...
🗝️ Unlock your courage. Volunteer. Or face the glitter again.
— Grumpily yours,
The Lore Vault

From the desk of Belladonna Belle, your favorite haunted hostess
Ohhh, hello, my little almost-victims.
I’ve been watching you… some of you hiding behind your shelves, others tiptoeing through the challenge threads pretending the sinister toys can’t see you.
Oh, sweetlings — they can.
They do.
They know your names. They know your reading lists.
They know… when you sleep.
The Toy Chest is still hungry, and I’m feeling generous.
If you sign up before the end of the month, I might just choose your toy for you.
It could be something lovely — all lace and ribbons — or something sharp and full of teeth.
It’s always a surprise when you let me wind your strings. 🎀
So come closer, won’t you? Step right up and slip your name into the Toy Chest.
Join us willingly…
It’s so much more fun when you help tie your own bow.
💀 Sign up here … before the Toymakers choose for you.
“👁 They’ve been whispering your name from inside the chest…”

🏆 One week only to cast your votes!
By the end, we’ll crown:

A quick housekeeping note regarding the Arrows of Fortune Challenge:
• The challenge officially ended on February 28, 2025, and active moderation wrapped up in March.
• Since then, participants have been welcome to continue informally with their partners if they wished.
• To give the group a clear timeline, the challenge threads will remain visible through September 1, 2025, at which point I’ll be archiving them.
• The challenge spreadsheets will be deleted at the end of the year. If you’d like to keep playing on your own beyond September, please make a copy of the spreadsheets before then.
Thank you to everyone who joined in and made this one fun!

Competitive sign-ups are still open until the 28th… after that, only the leftovers will be taken: backups, the uncompetitive, and solitary souls.

I was prepared for the worst.
The glitter pens were out. Caleb the Bookmark was muttering about starting a podcast.
The phrase “Hallmark tie-in double feature” was being thrown around with alarming confidence.
But then—a hero rose.
From the shadows of unread prompts and almost-tragic polls, one brave soul stepped forward to save us all.
🎉 Enter: Sammy🎉
Vaultkeeper. Promptmaster. Preventer of Peppermint Despair.
Because of their noble sacrifice:
✨ The Lore Vault is restored.
✨ The chaos has been contained.
✨ Caleb has resumed normal operations (for now).
To Sammy, we owe our sanity… and our genre integrity.
📚 Vault steadied. Glitter quarantined.

I’ll be decking your halls with Halloween stickers all October. Expect bats, pumpkins, and… glitter-covered skulls. 🦇🎃💀
Mod
Glitter. Again.
Must you torment me every season with your… decorations?
My shelves are meant to hold ancient tomes of power, not plastic pumpkins or adhesive bats! And skulls—glitter-covered skulls, no less?! Do you realize the indignity of it all? I am a repository of arcane wisdom, not a haunted house prop shop!
Still… I suppose resistance is futile. You’ll be parading in here with your stickers whether I like it or not. Fine. Deck my halls if you must, but don’t expect me to stop groaning. Loudly. Every time I see a bat peel off and land in the dust.
And so I cry out—surely someone, anyone, will spare me this seasonal humiliation! Step forward, brave soul. Volunteer as my curator. Shield me from pumpkins, from stickers, from glitter. Only then may I be restored to my rightful dignity.
Utterly appalled (and desperate),

FYI... strikes will be given to those who have ghosted. You have been notified if you are in danger of a strike.

Epic of the Month Nominees
⭐Susan says that The Perks of Being a Wallflower should be the Epic of the Month because…
“I really liked this book, it did take a bit to get into with the "diary" type entries, but overall fantastic story. I was in high school in the mid nineties and the story took me back to high school. Charlie's HS experience was different than mine, but I remember what it was like being a teen and trying to fit in. The mental health part of the book really got to me for personal reasons.”
⭐Michelle says that When the Stars Go Dark should be the Epic of the Month because…
“This has to be one of my favorite books I've read so far this year. It was beautifully written and very well researched by the author. Anna, a missing persons detective, was quite the flawed character, and she did come to realize just how much so at the end of the book. She tried very hard to be a good person and do the right thing, but she never healed from her own trauma that happened to her when she was a young girl. This caused her to go overboard when taking on cases so much that she ignored everything else in her life.”
⭐Erin says that Luck of the Devil should be the Epic of the Month because…
“After becoming a big fan of Denise Grover Swank this year with her Rose Gardner series, then the Spin off for Rose Investigations, this darker spin-off series features protagonist Harper Adams and brings back the anti-hero but excellent James Malcolm from both of Rose's previous series. This August release is the third in this series and I loved it. 5 star rating, hope this series continues awhile. The romance heats up, the mystery deepens with her family, she spends this book solving a murder close to her - dark, excellent, and unique.”
Dud of the Month Nominees
⭐Susan says that The Dragonian's Witch should be the Dud of the Month because:
"It was not good! It was a quick read that I muddled through to complete X of an A-Z Female Author Challenge. I'm not a huge fan of fantasy but this one was very corny."
⭐Michelle says that Diamonds and Daggers should be the Dud of the Month because:
"I really need someone to explain to me how Lucy is still among the living? Honestly, by all rights she should have died like 11 times by now if not more. Is every main character in a cozy mystery dumber than a turnip? So far all of the ones I have read except for 1 or 2 this is the case. And I swear Lucy makes dumber and dumber decisions as the books go on. Usually by book 11 a character shows growth. This is not the case with home girl here. It really is ridiculous. Let's take for example an incident where Lucy agrees to go talk to a man she doesn't know. He tells her to go down a dark hallway, past the bathroom, and there was a room past the bathroom and that's where she should meet him. What dumbass agrees to this? She does this and wonders why someone hits her over the head and when she wakes up the diamonds she was wearing are missing. Well duh! Then we have to read about how dumb she thinks she is throughout the book. We get it, we don't need to be beat over the head with the same information over and over again.
We also have the incident where Sylvia bullies Lucy into wearing her very expensive said jewels to a gala. Despite Lucy being a dipshit, Sylvia is a bully when the jewels are stolen. She is downright mean to Lucy and very threatening, and no one calls her on it. I would have set Sylvia on fire. I don't get some of these characters, I don't get their decisions, and I don't know why I keep reading these"
⭐Ashley says that Pucking Around should be the Dud of the Month because:
"Big sigh. This book.
Let me preface this with a disclaimer. I like the “reverse harem” / “why choose?” trope. I don’t care about the order of operations: who’s with who first, how they get there, or what creative furniture is involved. I also love stupid, cheesy dialogue and over-the-top lines that make me laugh, even when they’re nowhere near smart or groundbreaking. That is not the problem here.
The problem? Is it the sketchy doctor/patient power dynamic? No. The wet-noodle FMC? Also no. It’s that this thing is nearly 800 pages long when it maybe, maybe, had enough story for 300. The conflict is paper-thin, and the insta-love kills any tension before it starts. If you’re going to have a woman and three men end up together, you need an actual climb to get there. We can’t all just yell "Yay! Let’s do it!" like horny cheerleaders and call it a plot.
Rachel, our wet-noodle, is annoying. I have no idea why these guys are so obsessed with her. Caleb and Jake have the closest thing to a relationship arc, and Ilmari? He’s just a random add-on, like a DLC nobody asked for. If I wanted that experience, I’d just play The Sims and set someone on fire. Instead, my brain is the thing in ashes.
When Rachel asked herself if she should stay or go, I was screaming, GO! Let these men rest in peace! Ugh.
I wanted messy, chaotic fun. What I got was a very long book where the only real journey was how fast my enthusiasm died."
⭐Erin says that Europea Halls should be the Dud of the Month because...
"This one was about what i expected it to be - low budget slasher - but I think the author could have tried harder to tie some incoherent strings together. Writing style was okay for this but the villainry was too unrealistic and there were improvements to be made. 2/5 stars"
Now it’s your turn to vote!

🥖 This week’s Author Appreciation: Albert Camus, patron saint of the existential shrug.
Philosopher? Novelist? Revolutionary? Man just trying to smoke in peace?
Whether you vibe with The Plague, The Stranger, or just want to yell about absurdism and moral philosophy in a post-latte haze—come hang.
