If you could all check and confirm you're still in before October 1, that'd be great!

I'm ready! :)

Great!☺

Checking in

Great! Now we can decide on a house and then get a topic. I think we should go with a house with the most topics we think we'll be able to complete but that's just me.

I just looked at the houses again. Since there is only three of us, I hope I won't have a problem finding a book for a task.
These are the only ones I would have to hunt for:

*Murder Mystery set in a mansion/house would be a little more difficult since I really don't read murder mysteries and finding one that is a freebie or on scribd would take a bit of time.

*A book set in a circus I don't think I have ever read a book that takes place at a circus.

When we are given our tasks, how long do we have to complete them?

There is no set time limit to complete a task but the faster you complete them the more tasks you can complete in the month. Yeah, I don't know that I've ever heard or read any books set in a circus.

Water for elephants is set in a circus. Sorry for hijacking your thread:)

No worries and thanks so much.

I think I'd do best at Christmas Light or Gravediggers :)

Okay, I'll just go with whatever we decide as I don't really have a preference. Let's see what Ora thinks though.

Guys, what house do we want to do?

I think Gravediggers sound better than Christmas lights right now.

In that case, our topic is:
*A book listed as "creepy" or "spooky" on Goodreads

I'll find some listopia lists and link them here

Would Creepy Book Covers work?

Here are some listopia lists that can help throughout the challenge:
Creepy Halloween reads
Carnival/Circus books
More creepy Halloween reads
Yet more creepy reads
YA books about ghosts
Haunted house books
Mystery books
More mysteries
Books set in London/England
Books set in Ireland
Mythology books

Dammit, I was worried we were going to get this challenge! I'll see if I can get A Monster Calls or Miss Peregrines, they were on those lists :)

Yep, I can definitely get A Monster Calls :)

Oh, or Gone Girl! Anyone want to buddy read either of those for bonus points?

I can read Gone Girl.:) What genre is it? When would you like to start?

Thriller I think :) I have buddy reads for the 1st and the 7th in other groups, but I know we want to get lots of points, so I can maybe try the 4th? I just might read a little slowly

Perfect.:) I'll set the thread for then and post the link here. That date works for me as I'm trying to finish some books and deal with school work.

Here's the thread for Gone Girl: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

As of right now, I will go with .

Perfect, go team :)

Yay, we're on our way to a great start!

Just realized when I was getting to buy my book on amazon it's only 86 pages. Sucks when goodreads doesn't have page count available.
Would a book from the creepy cover list work?

No on the creepy cover list as I was thinking more of the storyline as the basis for the book being shelved/listed as creepy. However, if you can't find anything that works I'll accept a book from that list.

I can find something on a creepy list that is also on scribd. I was actually a little irritated that I started after we got our task since it's on a creepy list, but the 2nd in the series isn't. I will just save that one for retellings since it's the first Frankenstein retelling I have came across.

All right. However, i'd also accept the second in a series if the first book was on the list.:)

I will see what I am in the mood for this weekend. The author's style of writing took me a little bit to get use to and the world he create is completely disturbing. At least I know what I'm getting into with this book.

Bring On The Creepy #49. , 2nd in series

I'm going to read my book later tonight or tomorrow. I'm not sure which book I am going to yet. I read the novella that's in between Unwind and Unwholly, and not sure if I feel like reading Unwholly yet. It's a really disturbing series. If not, I will be reading which is also on the Bring On The Creepy list. I guess I'll see what I feel like, right now I need to read something lighter.

I just want to make sure I understand when we start the next book. After everyone completes their books, we then move on to the next house?

We can choose a house once two reviews are posted and then get a topic. I think Victoria's almost going to post.

I'm going to write my review tonight and then post :)

Great Victoria.

How does Hollow House or Christmas Lights sound next for everyone? Personally I would prefer Hollow House and hope for supernatural creatures since I am going to be reading this week.

I honestly prefer lighthouse. But, you can count all books you read in October at the end of the month regardless.:)However, I'm flexible so can also do hollow.

I didn't see lighthouse. Where is it located?

Never mind I see you mean Christmas Light house. I really don't mind. It will probably be the weekend before I read a book for that house with other books I have committed to this week.

Ok, let's see what Victoria wants.

I'm good with Hollow House, because I'm reading Harry Potter so that counts for two categories :)

Hollow house it'll be.:)

When will we find out our task?

Sorry, I have to finish writing a paper so maybe around five Eastern.

Thanks Jackie!

Our next topic is: *A book with the words "night" "hexed" or "magic" in the title

I can read A Magic Dark And Bright for this one :) Hopefully I can start it today!

Yay, I'm starting Gone Girl now.:) I'll take a look at my shelves in a bit to see what I can read for this one.

So would Crown of Midnight work
