Did that make sense? For October (it is one of my ALL time favorite months) we are nominating suspense, thriller or horror genres. Any type that falls in that category is game.

Enjoy :)!

Shay (shaylyn318) | 61 comments What about Edgar Allan Poe? Narrow it down to a few of his short stories like The Tell Tale Heart, Black Cat and so on.

I like the Edgar Allen Poe idea. I am adding him as the author and everyone can chime in and read certain things of his work if it is a finalist

Dawn (mcdawn73) | 74 comments I want to nominate The Butcher by Jennifer Hillier
I just got this Kindle book recently for .99 and haven't had the chance to read it yet. Thought October would be a good time to read a suspense/psychological thriller.

Eragon is the group read for September, we are nominating books for October.
