Horror Aficionados discussion

My latest recommendation by Kasia, Graham Masterson's The House That Jack Built, landed at number 666 on my tbr list. She then took advantage of the situation by informing me that 666 on her list was Naomi's Roomwhich is a vicious competitor in this latest incident. I've never read it but premise alone makes it a threat to my new top spot. We can deal with that later.

What's #666 on your TBR list?

I'm very excited to see what everyone will dig up from their list, and if they didn't pass that number yet then it's the perfect time to add more books :)

Myself, thank you for mentioning :) - Naomi's Room by Jonathan Aycliff... which I will be reading for sure, I remember many people in here talking about it fondly.

Sadly, I haven't reached #666 either.

You need to catch up man. Overestimate a little, or in my case, a lot.

I don't know when my read list was outpaced by my tbr list but it was recently. It's nearly unrealistic at this point but still gives me lots of options :0

Neither have I...will be weird though to see what the #666 title will be.

Hissers by Ryan C. Thomas

Yay! The author alone provides you a Golden Membership in the 666 club.

I'm not there yet either but close at 527!

I got A Spill of Vitriol

Which TBR?
Physical, virtual, mental or reread?

The First Crusade - A New History: The Roots of Conflict Between Christianity and Islam

That's a lot of 666's, Jon ;)

My GR tbr #666 is Needles & Sins by John Everson

I only have one. My organizational skills are lacking to say the least.

Adam, Ct - both added. Thank you kind sirs.

I have yet to read an Everson novel I enjoyed which separates me from most of my HA associates. I'm determined to someday like one of his books.

I've liked all of his stuff so far, Eleven. Can't please everybody's tastes though. There are a few authors that a lot of folks seem to love that I just don't care for.

I hate that. I feel like there is something I should be enjoying that I'm not enjoying. He's in the same 'circle' of every other author I love but something still refuses to click.

I read Siren and The 13th.

I may give him one more try though. I bought Covenant because of the Stoker thing so it's already prominent on my list.

The 666 position on my list is Metro by Steen Langstrup, undoubtedly a Kindle freebie I picked up.

To be clear, I've not read this book (or anything else by Everson). I just thought the title and cover image were a good fit for the #666 slot.

Fuck it. I'm adding it.

Looks like a good fit to me too, Gregor! Just not for Eleven. I think he is defective :)

I read Nightwhere, Violet Eyes and Failure and liked them all.

Bill wrote: "11811 (Eleven) wrote: "Bill wrote: "I read Nightwhere, Violet Eyes and Failure and liked them all...."

All added. I think it's just a weird mood thing sometimes so I'm good with giving him another shot. It's been so long I can't even remember what it was I disliked about his writing to begin with.

I went through My Books, to-read ‎(2380) and took a long scroll to #666.

I concede to your godly domination of this gladiator pit..

Where does it say the number of the book on your TBR?

I read FAILURE recently. It was pretty good.

Thanks for the next 11 books for my TBR list. I'm sure it will be several years until I get to them...just not enough reading time.

If you click your tbr list in your library it should be auto set to the order in which you added your books. Then scroll till you hit 666.

Impossible on iPhone, but I am curious what book 666 is for me now! :(

You need to read , it was excellent. It also got the stamp of approval from Miz Nikki. Message me if you're interested in it. ;)

2380......MARRY ME!!!!"

Seriously. I thought that was a typo.

I thought 1301 was a pretty good number. Kasia smoked me. I don't even want to know what it would be if I added all of the freebies I picked up over the past couple years.

You were right twice. 1301 was a good number and Kasia smoked your ass. I'm not sure how the rules work on all that.

Wooohoo :P gosh this is becoming my new favorite thread almost as hot as the bash fest I'm getting on my new Amazon review of Taipei lol!

I actually plan on reading all those books and in reality I hope to at least get through a chunk of them.

I second violet eyes by Everson. I'm still squirming.

FORBIDDEN TEXTS looks like a winner, Jon.

On my tbr list and i may hit you up on the loaner if it's still available after I crawl out of my current tbr pit.

I'm at #412 on my tbr list. Now I have a new goal... #666!!!

That guy is being a jerk in the review comments. I can't understand why people do this, too much time on their hands.
*HUGS* :)

The guy is really hung up on this book, he wrote a quasi racist "review" of it in 2013 admitting that he didn't read more than 20 minutes of it and immediately jumps on anyone who posts any positive reviews... talk about stamina lol.

I haven't read Siren (though I know others who didn't care for it) or The 13th, but I enjoyed Covenant as well as the sequel (the name of which escapes me at the moment), so hopefully that'll be the one for you :-).

I haven't reached that number yet.

My 666 is Headhunter by Tim Curran.

And my TBR currently stands at 1780. LOL

Wow, I only have 74, haha.
