The following are some of the books I have read so far this year that might make for good Halloween reading tonight. Click on the titles to see my reviews.
General Halloween Night Reads:
Alive in Necropolis not only has a great storyline, but part of the story includes unruly ghosts harassing one another in a graveyard. [...]
Are you a spine breaker? Or a dog-earer? Do you expect to keep your books in pristine condition even after you have read them? Does watching other readers bend the cover all the way round make you flinch or squeal in pain?
I used to be a HUGE dog-earer and occasional spine breaker. I’m much [...]

I really should read another 25 pages of something at least, so I can get to a full 1,000. I don’t think I’m going to [...]
If I’m not mistaken, the 7th hour of the read-athon just ended. Since my last update I took a little nap and a couple of breaks, but I also just finished the whole 750+ pages of Stephenie Meyer’s “Breaking Dawn.” I’m not totally sure what I am going to read next, but I think I [...]
I’m starting to think I have a cursed relationship with the read-athon.
