You're good, Beth. The actual readathon didn't start until October 1st. FrightFall is just part of Something Wicked Fall on my horror blog which starts in September. I usually share more stuff on there in September but the month got away from me. We are doing a read-along of Hell House by Richard Matheson though.

Glad you're enjoying the book! Thanks for joining us.

Mary (meceka) | 3 comments Hello, everyone! My plan is to read "The Rust Maidens" by Gwendolyn Kiste for today/tomorrow and to start "The Possession of Alba Diaz" by Isabel Canas. I've liked other books by both authors so have high hopes that these will be enjoyable.

Beth | 8 comments I finished In a Glass Darkly! I think I was 30% through when the readathon started? It was pretty good. And I made progress on Thirteen Storeys by Jonathan Sims.
