Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and The Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. 

This week's topic is: Top Ten [TBR] Books [I'd] Read During a Storm (submitted by Astilbe)

*in no particular order
**modified the topic just a bit ;)

10. CASTLE OF THE CURSED by Romina Garber--this was the September Owl Crate pick and it sounds spooky and delightful! I love a good spooky book but will run away from a spooky movie. I'm just weird that way!
9. GHOST CAMERA by Darcy Coates--I picked this up in ARC format at an event this year when they were giving them away! It sounds spooky and reminiscent of an old Are You Afraid of the Dark episode. Or at least that's the vibe I got from the cover/title alone!
8. JANUARIES by Olivie Blake--while not exactly on the spooky level, there's a mix of stories in this one and the cover gives off great stormy weather vibes.

7. GUILLOTINE by Delilah S. Dawson--creepy more in a thriller way but yeah I'd totally read it on a stormy day!
6. THE HOUSE AT WATCH HILL by Karen Marie Moning--if it's anything like her Fever series it will be dark and mysterious coupled with some kind of romance!
5. THE LIES WE CONJURE by Sarah Henning--sure to be a delightful supernatural thriller mystery!

4. THE ST. AMBROSE SCHOOL FOR GIRLS by Jessica Ward--sure to be another twisted thriller mystery!
3. OUR WICKED HISTORIES by Amy Goldsmith--I loooved her debut and cannot wait to read more from her!
2. DEATH AT MORNING HOUSE by Maureen Johnson--another twisty murder mystery from Maureen! This is sure to be a delight!

1. A HISTORY OF GHOSTS, SPIRITS, AND THE SUPERNATURAL by DK Publishing--this sounded SO cool! I think I saw it on Instagram...or somewhere and it got me interested right away so I bought a copy! Alas I still need to read it! It's got all the creepy myths, legends, and who-knows-if-it's-true tales of all things that go bump in the night! I believe it was divided into cultures so it promises to be educational and fun and terrifying!
