I’ve seen this tag on both Maddalena’s blog and Lisa’s blog, and I thought October would be the perfect time to jump in and do my own post! I’m doing a slight twist and that is I’m listing two books for each prompt—a book I’ve read and loved, and a book that’s still on my TBR. Here we go!

Read: Rovers by Richard Lange. I just read this a couple of months ago and wow, I loved it. This is gritty literary horror.
Want to read: Mouth Full of Ashes by Briana Morgan. This is a self published vampire novel that the author is calling her “love letter to The Lost Boys.”

Read: Mongrels by Stephen Graham Jones. Another very dark, gritty read about a family of werewolves. It’s one of my favorite SGJ books:-D
Want to read: Written in Red by Anne Bishop. I am reading the spin off series, but I really need to go back and catch up with The Others, which I know lots of my friends love.

Want to read: The Living Dead by George A. Romero & Daniel Kraus. I just couldn’t fit this in upon publication a couple of years ago, but it’s still on my list to read.

Read: Come With Me by Ronald Malfi. This book will most certainly rank in my top five books of 2021, it’s that good!
Want to read: The Haunting of Las Lagrimas by W.M. Cleese. This sounds like a spooky, historical ghost story, set in Argentina. Titan Books is really killing it lately with new releases! This comes out next February.

Read: The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow. There are so many “witch” books I could have chosen, but this one stands out because of Harrow’s feminist take on witches.
Want to read: The Great Witch of Brittany by Louisa Morgan. I adore Morgan’s books, and I’m so happy she has a new one coming out next year!

Read: You Let Me In by Camilla Bruce. I love this book to pieces! If you aren’t scared off by dark themes and characters, this is a must read book about the fae.
Want to read: The Warrior Poet by Sharon Lynn Fisher. I believe this book actually comes out today, and it’s the third book in Sharon’s The Faery Rehistory series. I will be reading it very soon!

Read: Proper’s Demon by K.J. Parker. I read this novella several years ago and loved it! An interesting story about art and demons.
Want to read: Piñata by Leopoldo Gout. This is a possession story that sounds really scary!

Read: Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. OK this might be a spoiler if you haven’t read this yet, so I’m not saying there’s aliens in this book, nope!
Want to read: A Half-Built Garden by Ruthanna Emerys. I haven’t talked about this book yet on the blog, but I’ll be featuring it again next month for Sci-Fi Month. This is a first contact novel that sounds excellent.

Read: Eye of the Sh*t Storm by Jackson Ford. Ford’s super fun series centers around a girl who can, well, move shit with her mind. If you love action-packed stories with high stakes and a found family vibe, you’ve got to read this series!
Want to read: Jade War by Fonda Lee. I’m desperately trying to find time to read this second book in Lee’s fantasy series about a family who draws strength and power from magical jade. Soooo good!
I tag anyone who wants to join in. And let me know if you do so I can visit your post:-D

A fun tag indeed, and I can see how much you enjoyed compiling the list
(also, I’ve take note of those two vampire books because I have a “thing” for that kind of critter….)
It’s such a fun tag, and I have you to thank for bringing it to my attention:-)
Glad to see Come With Me by Ronald Malfi here. I picked up the audiobook of it last week, figured it might be a good October/Halloween read/listen.
I’m curious to see what the audio book is like!
I love this list and might have to give it a try. And, I love your answers. I’ve not read Mongrels but I do have a copy so perhaps I should bump that up the old TBR.

Mongrels is a tough read, sort of depressing, but also heartwarming. I don’t know how he does that…
Ahhhh I love this tag and definitely wanna do it (if I don’t forget because that’s always possible lol)
I forget to do tags I like too, lol.
What a fun tag! Rovers really does sound good, I need to check it out. Both Come With Me and The Haunting of Las Lagrimas sound so good! I’m also very excited for The Great Witch of Brittany.
This entire tag is just giving me a list of books to read–also very curious for You let Me In, Pinata, and A Half-Built Garden (I guess I might as well just name every book in this tag).
I hope you get the chance to read some of them!
Love how you made this your own, Tammy. I really need to read a SGJ book! Maybe I’ll start with Mongrels!
He’s such a good writer:-)
Written in Red was fantastic – I hope you enjoy! Also, I agree with your choice for alien.
I might have to do this tag in the future.
You should do it, lots of fun:-)
Such a fun tag and I had to chuckle at your Project Hail Mary comment, lol.
Ha ha I hate giving spoilers but it’s the perfect book for alien!
A love letter to the Lost Boys! Ooh I love that movie…
Come With Me I need to check out…
One of my favorites movies from my teen years:-)
This looks like such a fun tag and I love how you listed a book you read along with a book on your TBR!
Thanks Hasini!
I think I could pick all the books you listed except the ones about zombies . . . *runs away* What a fun tag, Tammy!
Thanks Silvia! I know, zombies aren’t my favorite:-)
