My TBR for Oct Month (2018)

After my great reading follow up last month I am really pumped and excited to make and share this list with you guys. So here we go!

#1    The Austere Academy(A Series of Unfortunate Events #5) by Lemony Snicket

Continuation of yet another misery in Baudelaire children's life in the form of Count Olaf, 'Austere Academy' starts where 'The Miserable Mill' finishes.This time....the destination is - A Boarding School

Let's see how this will go!

#2     The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas

'The Count of Monte Cristo' is an adventure historical novel by French author, Alexandre Duman.This is considered as one of the classic revenge story of a sailor named Edmond.

That's what this short and interesting Goodreads blurb says - 

Set against the tumultuous years of the post-Napoleonic era, The Count of Monte Cristo recounts the swashbuckling adventures of Edmond Dantes, a dashing young sailor falsely accused of treason. The story of his long imprisonment, dramatic escape, and carefully wrought revenge offers up a vision of France that has become immortal.

Captivating and Interesting... Isn't It?!

#3     Storm Front (Dresden Files #1) by Jim Butcher

This is sitting on my TBR from last 2-3 months! Now is the time to pick another book by Jim Butcher

#4     Harry Potter & the Chamber of the Secrets (Harry Potter Series #2) by JK Rowling

No need to explain much but as I announced earlier, my first re-read of this whole series after five years here I am including second book after a nostalgic read of the first one!

Now... My Spooky Reads for this Spooky Halloween month

 #5  The Troop by Nick Cutter

Once a year, scoutmaster Tim Riggs leads a troop of boys into the Canadian wilderness for a three-day camping trip—a tradition as comforting and reliable as a good ghost story and a roaring bonfire. But when an unexpected intruder—shockingly thin, disturbingly pale, and voraciously hungry—stumbles upon their campsite, Tim and the boys are exposed to something far more frightening than any tale of terror. The human carrier of a bioengineered nightmare. An inexplicable horror that spreads faster than fear. A harrowing struggle for survival that will pit the troop against the elements, the infected...and one another.

Sounds Spooky! Right?!

 #6  The Long Walk by Richard Bachman (AKA Stephan King)

In this #1 national bestseller, “master storyteller” (Houston Chronicle) Stephen King, writing as Richard Bachman, tells the tale of the contestants of a grueling walking competition where there can only be one winner—the one that survives.

In the near future, when America has become a police state, one hundred boys are selected to enter an annual contest where the winner will be awarded whatever he wants for the rest of his life. Among them is sixteen-year-old Ray Garraty, and he knows the rules—keep a steady walking pace of four miles per hour without stopping. Three warnings and you’re out—permanently.

After a very long time, I will be picking up a Stephen King! It's high time!!

#7 & #8  Heart Shaped Box & NOS4A2 by Joe Hill

I will be very honest and say that I am not a great fan of Joe Hill's writing. I have read Horns by him and it was an average read for me due to its slow writing, but 'NOS4A2' is a highly praised book in horror genre so I will be giving this one a chance and if I really like it, I will be reading his another book 'Heart Shaped Box' or vice versa (will pick based on my mood)

So yeah... these are 8 books in my TBR, 4 of which are horror for halloween month!

Let's see how it goes.............
