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

The cover is really great! I think it would catch my eye even if I didn't already love this author.
DeleteUgh, 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.
ReplyDeleteWell, you're not too late! I'm still working on it, but it's been really good so far :)
DeleteThis does sound like a great Halloween read! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kay! I'm not done yet, but it is the perfect read for around Halloween, even if it is technically over already :)
DeleteYay - a spooky read! I hope you enjoy!

Thanks Jade -- I am!
DeleteI'm too much of a coward to read anything scary/creepy. Hope you enjoy this one. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks! McMahon has a knack for creepy, that's for sure.
DeleteOoh, looks so good! I've never read anything by this author -- but I think I should!
ReplyDeleteI highly recommend The Winter People -- so deliciously creepy!
DeleteRead her book The Winter People a year or so ago. Really good! This one sounds excellent too!
ReplyDeleteYes, that one was so good!
DeleteI enjoyed this tale Christine, it was my first by this author, but won't be my last
ReplyDeleteDefinitely check out The Winter People -- it was so good!
DeleteI haven't heard of this one before, but it looks deliciously-creepy and just in time for Halloween!
ReplyDeleteYes, I finally had some good timing this year!
