Spooky Books

Here are a few Halloween-y book recommendations and one that is totally unrelated to this time of year but equally awesome. The first and second are part of a series and the third book is coming out March 2011. Here's the link to a website that tells more about the series: http://www.carrieryan.com/ It's basically a mix between the movies "The Village" and "I Am Legend". I couldn't put them down--very intense but not too ghory or freakish.

Book 1:

Book 2:

If you liked the movie I Am Legend, you should give the book a try as well, although there are some major differences between the book and the movie, I think both are great. It's a short book and a great read for October.

And finally, a book that has nothing to do with Halloween, but is in my top 3 favorite books of all time: A Thousand Splendid Suns. It inspires me to be a stronger woman and taught me about a part of the world I would've never learned a whole lot about otherwise (Afghanistan). It follows two women lives and most of the book covers the 80's, 90's and early 2000's including September 11. The author is from Afghanistan and it really offers a unique perspective on the life of an ordinary citizen there.
Happy Reading!
