We have a spooky season appropriate theme this month and we want books about Objects that are cursed, haunted, possessed or forbidden. Something mundane turned nefarious or an artifact to avoid! You know, the good stuff you like reading but would never want to encounter in your daily life.
*Please do not nominate books that we have read as a group before and no self author promo. If you nom the Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill you will be in sucked into a sewer drain and directed towards Derry, Maine. (We read this in 2017, it's great but not eligible :P)
Recent group reads can be found here:

Nominations that get +1 have a greater chance of making the poll.
The noms will be open from 9/15 - 9/20 and the poll with the highest amount of votes will go up at the end of that day for you to vote on. Top two books with most votes will be our group reads for next month.
