Happy Top Ten Tuesday! Today’s theme is a Halloween freebie and I decided to go with ten spooky books that I’ve actually read! I hardly read any spooky books, so I had to consult Goodreads to see which books have been shelved as “spooky.” Let me know if any of these are not actually spooky. Also, I had to go all the way back to like 2006 for this list.
- City of Ghosts by Victoria Schwab (★★★☆☆)
- And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie (★★★☆☆)
- 172 Hours on the Moon by Johan Harstad (★★★★★)
- We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson (★★★★☆)
- The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson (★★★★☆)
- A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness (★★★☆☆)
- Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger (★★★☆☆)
- A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray (★★★★☆)
- The Diviners by Libba Bray (★★★★★)
- Lair of Dreams by Libba Bray (★★★★★)

Whoa, that’s a nice list! I haven’t read any of them, oops haha. Really curious about the Diviners by Libba Bray. Been wanting to buy that book for ages but the hardcover copy is so expensive, it’s insane – and of course, I want the HC edition, lol. I’m really curious about city of ghosts as well!

I haven’t read many of these, although I did really enjoy A Great and Terrible Beauty so I should probably give The Diviners a go!

I read A Great and Terrible Beauty when I was in high school and it started a lifelong love of Libba Bray’s books! 💕

I don’t really read a lot of spooky books either 🙂 But yay for Shirley Jackson! (I took a Horror in Film and Literature class in college & I read Jackson there – I’ve conveniently forgotten just about everything else from that class. lol)
Did you continue with with Harkness books? I never read them…

I actually didn’t continue with that series! The books are so long and I just didn’t love the first one enough to think it was worth it.

172 Hours on the Moon was so spooky! And I totally agree about The Diviners! I had planned to read the third book in that series for Halloween but time got away from me.
