I finished
6 books this month! And 4 were for the
Spring Into Horror Readathon from Michelle over at Seasons of Reading. I'll be delving into the second book of
The Call this month. I also picked up an India-based mystery book called
The Widows of Malabar Hill by Sujata Massey. So there will indeed be more horror and mystery for me in May. I'm always in the mood for a little horror and mystery this time of year. I didn't get to a few I had planned and I added a couple I wasn't expecting. Such is the nature of reading. But I have a few I definitely plan on reading in September and October.
The two non-horror I finished were:
The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein (didn't enjoy this one, unfortunately, and skimmed the last half of the book to finish) and
How to Live or a Life of Montaigne: In One Question and Twenty Attempts at an Answer by Sarah Bakewell (very enjoyable book on Montaigne and his essays). (I actually started this one a while ago with my friend for our philosophy book club but we finished it and I'm counting it!)
Here were my original ideas and I only ticked off two of them but I added
Magpie Murders by Anthony Horowitz and
The Ruin by Dervla McTiernan.
The Exorcist by William Peter Beatty
Fledgling by Octavia Butler
The Call by Peadar O'Guilin
The Lottery and Other Stories by Shirley Jackson
The Ballad of Black Tom by Victor LaValle
The Cutting Season by Attica Locke
Bluebird Bluebird by Attica Locke
NOS4A2 by Joe Hill
Finishing NOS4A2 is an accomplishment of it's own! That sucker is intense!! Great wrap up! :)
