More Halloween reads

I had to pick up my new glasses today, and decided to hit the thrift store on my way home. Thrift stores are the best places to get books. I may not always find what I'm looking for, but I always come home with something good. Anyway, I picked up eight books today, two of which I'd like to read this month. The first one is called Mrs. Poe by Lynn Cullen. It's about the love triangle between Edgar Allen Poe, his wife , and his mistress. I'm kinda ashamed to admit, I've never read any Poe and don't know much about him. Being from Baltimore, you'd think we would have read his stuff in school, but we never did.

I'm also going to try to read Dust and Shadow by Lindsay Faye. This is a Sherlock Holmes/Jack the Ripper Story. Seems like the perfect Halloween read.

Halloween Reads

I Love Halloween time! It's one of my favorite holidays and one of my favorite times to read. The days getting colder and darker, just make me want to snuggle up on the couch and read the world away. I have a couple books that I'm really excited to get into for the month of October, so I wanted to share them and see if anyone else has some more recommendations. First off, I'm starting with Dracula by Bram Stoker. I read it back in high school and loved it. I've been in a funk with the last three books that I've read, so I felt I needed to read something I know would be good. The movie is amazing as well, and I'll be watching it again soon. Also really looking forward to the movie Dracula Untold!

My next book will be The Keeper of the Realm by Bre Faucheux. This one is a paranormal romance. I have high hopes for this one, and I'll be giving a review on it when I'm done. Also, that cover, stunning!

Last on my list is Grimms Fairy Tales. I've never actually read any of these, but I hear they're quite creepy and nothing like the Disney versions that we all know. Again, I'll let you know my thoughts on them.
