And since it's "HALLOWEEN WEEK," I have decided to choose some books that have a spooky feel!  So, let's get ready to be spooked out by these upcoming books!


This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selections are:




    

The Cousins

By: Karen M. McManus

Expected Publication Date: December 1st, 2020

Buy on:   Amazon


From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of One of Us Is Lying comes your next obsession. You'll never feel the same about family again.

Milly, Aubrey, and Jonah Story are cousins, but they barely know each another, and they've never even met their grandmother. Rich and reclusive, she disinherited their parents before they were born. So when they each receive a letter inviting them to work at her island resort for the summer, they're surprised . . . and curious.

Their parents are all clear on one point--not going is not an option. This could be the opportunity to get back into Grandmother's good graces. But when the cousins arrive on the island, it's immediately clear that she has different plans for them. And the longer they stay, the more they realize how mysterious--and dark--their family's past is.

The entire Story family has secrets. Whatever pulled them apart years ago isn't over--and this summer, the cousins will learn everything.
 

Oooh!  A book about dark family secrets that should probably stay hidden!  I wonder just how "DARK" things are about to get... Definitely getting this book soon!

“‘I wear the chain I forged in life,’ replied the Ghost. ‘I made it link by link…’”
-Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol
Link by Link is a collection of 9 stories of ghosts, spirits, and creatures unnamed, all come to teach lessons we won’t soon forget. From sweet Christmas tales to terrifying holiday hauntings, these stories take a dive into the past in the hopes of creating a better—or at least different—future.

Okay, so it's not Christmas yet, but the fact that this book has "ghosts, spirits and creatures, oh my" definitely more than qualifies for "horror" stories!  Definitely looking forward to this anthology series!

Top Ten Tuesday #78: Top 10 Creepy Face Book Covers (or book covers with faces that make you freak out)

 Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme that was formerly created at The Broke and the Bookish but has now moved to That Artsy Reader Girl. 



This week's top 10 Tuesday topic is a Halloween freebie and I have decided to go with "Top 10 Creepy Face Book Covers (or book covers with faces that make you freak out)!"

Hey ghoulies!!!

It's Halloween week, which means that it's time to get down and scary!  For this freebie, I have decided to go with book covers that have the scariest faces, because that's like something that you don't see everyday.  Anyway, I just love making lists about book covers because I LOVE LOOKING AT THEM!

So, here are my top 10 Creepy Face Book Covers (in no particular order of course)!

The Ravens

By: Kass Morgan and Danielle Paige

Expected Publication Date: November 3rd, 2020

Buy on:   Amazon


Kappa Rho Nu isn’t your average sorority. Their parties are notorious. Their fundraisers are known for being Westerly College’s most elaborate affairs. But beneath the veil of Greek life and prestige, the sisters of Kappu Rho Nu share a secret: they’re a coven of witches. For Vivi Deveraux, being one of Kappa Rho Nu’s Ravens means getting a chance to redefine herself. For Scarlett Winters, a bonafide Raven and daughter of a legacy Raven, pledge this year means living up to her mother’s impossible expectations of becoming Kappa Rho Nu’s next president. Scarlett knows she’d be the perfect candidate — that is, if she didn’t have one human-sized skeleton in her closet…. When Vivi and Scarlett are paired as big and little for initiation, they find themselves sinking into the sinister world of blood oaths and betrayals.

Hmmm... it's been awhile since I heard anything about sororities!  This sounds like an interesting read!  Definitely checking this out!

By: Holly Black

Expected Publication Date: November 24th, 2020

Buy on:  Amazon



An illustrated addition to the New York Times bestselling Folk of Air trilogy, that started with The Cruel Prince, from award-winning author Holly Black.

An irresistible return to the captivating world of Elfhame.

Once upon a time, there was a boy with a wicked tongue.

Before he was a cruel prince or a wicked king, he was a faerie child with a heart of stone . #1 New York Times bestselling author, Holly Black reveals a deeper look into the dramatic life of Elfhame’s enigmatic high king, Cardan. This tale includes delicious details of life before The Cruel Prince, an adventure beyond The Queen of Nothing, and familiar moments from The Folk of the Air trilogy, told wholly from Cardan’s perspective.

This new installment in the Folk of the Air series is a return to the heart-racing romance, danger, humor, and drama that enchanted readers everywhere. Each chapter is paired with lavish and luminous full-color art, making this the perfect collector’s item to be enjoyed by both new audiences and old.

I'm currently reading "The Cruel Prince" and I'm really enjoying it so far!  So, the fact that we are getting a book that's told from Cardan's point of view sounds amazing to me!
