September TBR - Book Club Pick and Read-a-thon Prompts

[@greeranelson]

We’re around same age, and yes, I immediately thought of the childhood ghost story of the ribbon around the woman’s neck :)

[@ReadingWryly]

Yes! Thank you! Lol

[@the_eerie_faerie_tales]

I am both a planner and a mood reader... luckily my "moods" last a long time lol... I usually have about 20 books at a time that I want to read that month, then as I go through the month I just pick from that stack (I read 8-12 books/month). Right now I'm deep into Horror and I love it!

[@shawnabelanger7799]

Good bad girl has a really good start!

[@ReadingWryly]

Good to hear!

[@CathyHarrison-bd8vi]

The book from your childhood might have been from an easy reader by Alvin Schwartz titled In a Dark, Dark Room. One of the stories in that was The Green Ribbon.

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Good luck with your TBR!!

[@ReadingWryly]

Thank you!

I love Mikala & Hailey so excited for Sept. 29!❤

[@meridithcurran3092]

I just started Delicate Condition. I heard it what the new season of American Horror Story is based on. It’s giving me Rosemary’s Baby in Hollywood vibes. I’m still at the beginning, so that could change.

[@ReadingWryly]

Yes, I’d heard that too! Now I have to read it before I can watch the show. I need to read Rosemary’s Baby too! 😭

[@tibbarasden]

I am going to be reading Wonderland by Jennifer Hillier in October. I am looking forward to trying more by them if I enjoy it. I hope you have a wonderful month.

[@ReadingWryly]

One of the few books I’ve read physically because it didn’t have an audiobook at the time. It’s a good one!

[@exlibrisa]

Just to warn you, Earthlings IS weird and also deals with CSA (but it is ostensibly not about pregnancy). The best comp I can really make for it is probably Bunny by Mona Award, with a touch more whimsy (though this doesn't make it a light read at all).

[@ReadingWryly]

Okay! Thanks for the heads up. I love Bunny!

[@tealahiggins]

I can't wait for the live show! I just finished that book 😁📖

[@marzipan9]

I read Finna through audio and I really liked it. REALLY good. If you liked Horrorstor, you'll like this, and as an added bonus, it's a novella. The second one is really good, too.

[@ReadingWryly]

I haven’t read Horrorstor. Maybe I should vlog them?

[@heyyheyypaula]

The Shining is one of the scariest books I’ve ever read.

[@libby10318]

The Shining is so good! And quite different from the movie though I love the movie too.

[@ReadingWryly]

I just rewatched the movie last night to freshen up before the Readathon! 🙌🏻❤️

[@KristinKravesBooks]

The graphics for the readathon are so good! I am also excited to read Black Sheep and it will be my first from her as well!

[@ReadingWryly]

The graphics are all Beth, she’s good at that stuff! I listened to an interview with Rachel Harrison and really liked her so I’m hoping I enjoy her books too. 🤞

[@mikalareads]

Ohhh I just got bridge from the library and I'm so intrigued by the multiverse aspect!!! I can't wait to see what the author does with it! I am SOOOO excited to hear both of your thoughts and review of Good Bad Girl!!!! 🙌💕💯 YESSSS omg I can't wait to see what you think of Delicate Condition (I thought it would be extremely triggering too but I swear it handled the gaslighting really well in a way that was actually palatable and didn't just infuriate me off the deep end lol!) Omg i JUST preordered a physical copy of A Haunting on a Hill because i loved a haunting of hill house so much, like i rarely buy a book before first reading it from the library ...let alone PREORDER!!! I am crossing all my fingers and toes that it doesn't let me down 😭🙌💕

[@ReadingWryly]

I started Bridge yesterday, I’m liking it so far. It’s giving Blake crouch but more inclusive and from a woman’s POV. Glad to hear the gaslighting is done well in Delicate Condition. ❤️🙌🏻

[@jeanninethompson6243]

The shining is classic King! You need to read that for the readathon. It is so much better than the movie. I’m currently reading King’s recent release Holly.

[@ReadingWryly]

I need to finish bill hodges before I read Holly, but I’ve heard good things!

[@the_eerie_faerie_tales]

Yay Mikala ! Love her channel.

[@the_eerie_faerie_tales]

Course I love Hailey too! she's just not "new" 😊

[@claudiaslibrarycard]

I absolutely don’t think Delicate Condition should be compared to The Silent Patient, but I think you might have a really good time with it. It’s wild!

[@ReadingWryly]

Good to know. Thanks!

[@MlleGhoul]

I had a NetGalley of Delicate Condition and I kept pushing it off to the bottom of the stack (AND YES UGH it's triggering and uncomfortable in those specific gaslighty ways) but you know what? I really enjoyed it and I'm sorry that I kept procrastinating about it. And I am SO excited about the Liz Hand book. If you've not read anything by her yet, I HIGHLY recommend Wylding Hall! And I just looked up Finna at my library and they have it--wooo, love a good novella, can't wait!

[@ReadingWryly]

Just started Delicate Condition (early 🤫) and it’s not getting to me yet, so we will see. And no, I’ve not read Liz Hand but I will absolutely add that to my TBR, Oh Wise One. 🙌🏻❤️

[@literatelyalees]

I read Finna earlier this year. It’s definitely interesting! I think there’s a follow up to it as well, Defekt I believe?

[@tubeguito9555]

Hi, congratulations for your reviews. I have always followed your advice. I was really struck by the beauty of "Motion Detection", a thriller book that I found by chance on Amz while looking for a book by Freida McFadden. The cover intrigued me, it's an unusual book with a spectacular ending, I highly recommend it!

[@ReadingWryly]

I haven’t heard of that one. I’ll look it up. Thanks for the recommendation! 🙌🏻
