description

The theme for September is GHOSTS.

The days are getting shorter, the weather is turning cooler and evil is haunting the shadows as dead leaves skitter across our feet. It's the perfect time to curl up with a ghost story or two as we wait for spooky season to begin.


Please do not nominate books that we have read before as a group and please, no author self promotion.

Recent group reads can be found here:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Nominations with +1s have a greater chance of making the poll.
