A Scary July TBR

Happy July! I don’t know about you but I simply can not believe that we have made it through half of the year. Where in the world has the time gone?

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted a TBR. The reality is I really don’t like TBRs because I feel that puts a lot of undue pressure and stress on me. However, I’m really excited about this TBR. I’ve been in a wanting to read horror kind of mood lately and having said that I’ve decided to satisfy that want, that need with an entire month dedicated to scary/spooky reads.

When I was deciding on the books to read for this month, I wanted to make sure that it had a mix of BIPOC authors. And, without further adieu, let’s jump into my July TBR.

Top Ten Tuesday – Scary Novels

Although I don’t partake in Halloween celebrations much anymore I still enjoyed being scared. In a controlled environment, such as in the privacy of my home.

From time-to-time I do like to read a scary book or a book that has me on edge and makes my skin crawl. Some of the books on this list I’ve read and others are on the ever-growing TBR.

1. Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
2. The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
3. Turn of the Screw by Henry James
4. Coraline by Neil Gaiman
5. Song a Dead Dreamer and Grimscribe by Thomas Ligotti

1. Goosebumps by R. L. Stine
2. 1984 by George Orwell
3. Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury
4. Broken Monsters by Lauren Beukes
5. Beloved by Toni Morrison
