Shelf Control #5


Shelf Control is a weekly meme hosted by Lisa of Bookshelf Fantasies where we each share a book from our shelves we'd like to read soon. I need a break from the new releases, so this is just perfect for me! Come on and join in :)

* * * * *

My pick for this week is:

The Night Sister, by Jennifer McMahon

How I got it: Amazon.com

When I got it: August 2015

Why I want to read it: OK, so this one is still a pretty new release since it just came out this past summer. But, considering that Jennifer McMahon is an auto-buy author of mine and I ordered this book the week it came out, I'm overdue! After re-reading the description though, I've decided it just might be the perfect spooky book to read next week. Every year I mean to choose a scary/creepy/gothic-y type Halloween read, but I never quite manage it -- this will be the year I finally do it!

  1. That cover has that 'pick-me-up-and-read-me' feel. I'm going to add this one to my TBR list.

    1. The cover is really great! I think it would catch my eye even if I didn't already love this author.

  2. Ugh, this one is in my TBR as well. I don't know why I haven't gotten to it! All of her previous books were ones I read as soon as I got my grubby hands on them and this one has lingered on my shelves since it came out.

    1. Thanks Kay! I'm not done yet, but it is the perfect read for around Halloween, even if it is technically over already :)

  4. I'm too much of a coward to read anything scary/creepy. Hope you enjoy this one. ;)
