What did I say I was going to do?
As I said in my sign up post, I am aiming to be a Brave Reader, which means reading 6-10 books during the course of the year. My first quarterly update can be found here.
How am I doing?
Not too bad considering that I’ve been struggling with health issues and my reading has been patchy to say the least. My blog has been on hiatus and I’m still deciding how I’m going to handle reviewing the books I have read since late May, but where I have already reviewed I’ve provided a link.
- The Cuckoo Song by Frances Hardinge – shortlisted for the first James Herbert Award
- Day Four by Sarah Lotz – a sequel to The Three which was a favourite read from last year
- The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker – astonished I had never read this before given that it’s a bit of a classic
- The Rhesus Chart by Charles Stross – the fifth in The Laundry Files series – vampires!
I’ve still got a few horror novels on my TBR list so fairly confident I’m going to exceed my target for this challenge 🙂

I haven’t heard of any of the books you’ve listed! I’ll have to check them out!! Good luck with the rest of the challenge! 😀

The Hellbound Heart is the most traditionally horror of them all I would say. Let me know what you think if you read any of them 🙂

I had mixed feelings about The Three, but I keep hearing awesome things about Day Four, and I loooove the kind of creepy stories where everyone’s just STUCK somewhere and they have nowhere else to go. So I’m probably going to read that at some point too.
I hope you’re feeling better, also!!
