I'll nominate Charlotte Says , and
Ninth House

+1 Ninth House

I got it ages ago and it's time!

The story plays out kind of like IT, half, modern day adults dealing with their past, the other half, when they were in high school.

Such an awesome theme. :D

+Ninth House! 🐍

This from the blurb for December Park by Ronald Malfi: "Newspapers call the abductor the Piper because he has come to lead children away, while kids whisper darker names for him in the school halls." Yes, please!

Hello!

The link for books already read/listened to isn't working for me but I thought I'd nominate Hangsaman (1951) by Shirley Jackson.



It's one of Shirley Jackson's earlier novels and follows a girl named Natalie as she goes away to an all girl's college. Very psychological and creepy :D

My Best Friends Exorcism fits in here.

The Merciless, like mean girls meets the Exorcist.


Such a Pretty Smile sounds like an interesting read.

Sorry about that. The link in this discussion intro does not work but I was able to use a link from a previous message to get to a listing and I thought I reviewed the prior Group Read books closely, but I guess I missed The Broken Girls. Oops.

+1 for Grad Night!
