Mystery/Thriller Reading Friends discussion

Hello! Had some spooky reads for October, but not as many as previous years.

The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires - Grady Hendrix. 4 stars. This was a super fun read - I love all his books

Physics of the Future - Michio Kaku. 2 stars. Did this on audio, been on the shelf for a while.

The Birds and Other Stories - Daphne du Maurier. 3 stars. Interesting to read the original story Hitchcock used for his movie.

The Universe in the rear view mirror- Dave Goldberg. 3 stars. Another audio and one that’s been on the shelf a while.

I’m Cold Blood - Truman Capote. 1 star. Idk, this just didn’t do it for me. I did have reading the physical book, half audio.

Haunted - Meg Cabot. 2 stars.

Poison for Breakfast - Lemony Snicket. 4 stars. I was so excited for another Lemony Snicket book, I loved his series of unfortunate events books when I was a kid.

Hawkeye Omnibus Vol 1 - Matt Fraction. 4 stars.

Happy reading! And happy Halloween!

Karly: I didn’t do any purposely spooky reading in October, but if I had, you picked two I’ve been meaning to read. Someday I’ll see what I think of In Cold Blood and the Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires has been on my TBR list for a while.
Nice month when you get a few off your to be read piles!

Very true!! Trying to get at least one or two a month read that have been on the shelf for a while! Always feels great.

I loved The Southern Bookclub's Guide.... too. Pretty sure I read The Birds long ago and remember that movie.

Love the movie!

Have had The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires in The Pile for some time now. Need to get it read. I remember seeing The Birds when I was a little kid. My sister and I sat there with our coats over our heads for a good bit of the movie!!

I did too!! I saw it pretty young and had the blanket over my eyes a lot!
