Thanks to Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ, we all have ever growing TBR piles that can easily get out of control. Here is a fun way to whittle down that monsterous pile -

The rules are simple:

Add your name here and the date that you'd like to start a Buddy Read. Another member will then look through your TBR list and see if you have something that they'd like to read as well. They can then post on here which one or ones that they are interested in from your list. VOILA! Set up a thread, if you'd like others to join in on the read too. Remember to always use Spoiler Tags and Page Numbers on all Buddy Reads to avoid unwanted spoilers. Happy Reading!

I see you have Resurrection by Tim Curran in your pile, Emma. I'd be up for reading that with you.

Here are the ones from your TBR list that I'm interested in reading:

Children of the Dark by Jonathan Janz
Little Girls by Ronald Malfi
The Nightmare Within by Glen R. Krisch
Sunblind by Michael McBride
They Thirst by Robert McCammon
The Loveliest Dead by Ray Garton

Any of those would work for me.

I can't decide between "Sunblind" and "They Thirst".

Latasha (latasha513) would anyone like to read some Algernon Blackwood or Arthur Machen? I got a collection of each for Christmas but haven't read much out of them. I'd rather not read The Willows cause I did just read it in October (I think) and it wasn't my first time reading it.

The Willows, the Wendigo, and Other Horrors: The Best Weird Fiction and Ghost Stories of Algernon Blackwood: Annotated and Illustrated Tales of Murder, Mystery, Horror, and Hauntings

The Works of Arthur Machen: House of Souls, the Hill of Dreams, the Three Impostors and Other Tales of the Sacred and Profane
