Sunday Post hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer

It’s been a busy week of work and reading. You’ll be seeing a lot more horror books as October begins and my Halloween posts start. I’ll be featuring reviews, trailers, guest posts, interviews, giveaways, and cover reveals all  through October and, you guessed it, they will be scary good!

I’ve been searching high and low and going through my reading lists to find some good ones and have so much to share.

With the approach of Halloween my heart starts racing. I love horror first and foremost, whether in books or movies. I’ve done so since I was young. I used to sneak out of my room at night and peek to watch the movies my parents thought I was too young for. They were probably right.

I’m looking forward to all of the horror films I’ll be watching, old favorites and new ones. Sometimes I scare myself!

    I’m looking forward to all the October- y stuff this month, I love this time of year too. Looks like you got some fun new scary reads.

  2. Something for everyone. Good job. I have the first book in the Emily Kinkleman series and would to find time to read it.

    • fuonlyknew says:

      I loved the first book and the second. I actually think the rest will be even better. Her characters are growing.
      I’m adding books for Halloween, fall, Thanksgiving and Christmas so you’ll see a diverse bunch. LOL

  3. I.like your site very much and now have some ideas to improve my site. Now all I need to do is learn how. Thanks for the ideas.

  4. You have some great-looking scary covers! Porcelain creeps me out a little…LOL.

    Thanks for sharing…and for visiting my blog. Enjoy your week!

  5. Emalie says:

    The cover of Reign of Blood looks cool, but it’s not for free in Germany and I bought enough books this month, maybe next month 😉 but thanks for the suggestion

  6. Great books! I got Hexes and X’s just because it looked like such fun. The cover for Porcelain is now officially in my top 5 creepy covers! Have a great week!

  7. Christy says:

    Cool. I grabbed a couple of those freebies. Hope you enjoy your books. And yay for horror! 😉

  8. Nice book haul this week. I hope you enjoy them. Nice site too by the way, I’m a new follower via wordpress.
    Have a great week.
    Sharon @ Sharon’s Book Nook!

  9. I don’t dig horror lit at all but our cousin is an editor for a horror publisher at http://villipede.com/ and is totally into the whole deal. I figure the world is already horrible enough for me! Thanks for coming by.

    • fuonlyknew says:

      I’ve loved it from a young age but I do get funny looks from some people when I mention it. Things are pretty mixed on my blog. One day it’s horror, the next a cozy, the next romance, a children’s book… I just love the written word:)

  10. Wow, you got some great books to review, I can’t wait to see what you think of them! Thanks for stopping by my blog.

  11. Nyze says:

    Porcelain looks creepy! LOL! Your books are awesome! Hope you’re enjoying them!

    Here’s mine!
    My Week in a Wrapped #1

  12. I’m happy some people think the Porcelain cover looks creepy. Makes me glad I had it redesigned. Hopefully the story is just as creepy.
    Thanks for posting the cover.

  13. beckireads says:

    This time of year is definitely awesome, though not so much because of Hallowe’en for me.
    You look like you have four brilliant books this week. I love the cover of The Devil’s Breath, and Porcelain looks decidedly creepy!!!! Hope you enjoy all your books and that you have a great week.

    • fuonlyknew says:

      I like the change in temperature, when it finally gets here. Still in the mid to high 80s and muggy:)
      Porcelain is an exceelnt cover and The Devil’s Breath is cool. All of the books in Emily’s series have the same picture, just different colors and the colors kind of go with the plot. I like them a lot. Enjoy your week also:)

  14. Lillian @ Mom With a Reading Problem says:

    I love reading this time of year! Spooky books and fall weather just go great together 🙂 Torn looks good! I’ll watch for your review of it.

    • fuonlyknew says:

      I know what you mean. You can feel a change coming and the spooky books start coming out of the woodwork. LOL
      I just received Torn in the mail today. You should see how spectacular the cover looks in phycial form! Now I’m waiting for the first book to arrive so I can get started reading them.

  15. Jan says:

    It sounds like October is going to be great for you! I can’t read or watch horror although I’ve read a few things which are close. I watched an old movie when I was a kid (that my Mom said “don’t watch!”). I think maybe it was Invasion of the Body Snatchers. That did it for me…no more scary stuff…LOL. But I can understand loving it. Have fun with your October posts!

    • fuonlyknew says:

      It’s my time of year! It’s funny how that movie turned you away from scary stuff and an old black and white Dracula movie captured me and I began my love of horror.

  16. Congrats on winning the gift card! I like some of your freebies, I’m off to check them out.

    It sounds as if October will be a fun and busy month for you, enjoy!

    • fuonlyknew says:

      Thanks Bea! I’m going to shop for some books I need to fill out some series and pick up some good ones for a few blog hop giveaways I’m in. Should be a lot of fun!

  17. Well done on all your wins especially the 100 dollar voucher! Very nice! And I love all your horror books, you have given me a few ideas of ones I want to read too. Love the look of Out of The Past, it’s creepy looking in a Hitchcock kind of a way. Enjoy 🙂

    • fuonlyknew says:

      I’ve been very lucky. Awesome books and gift cards. Just think of all the books I’ll be getting!
      Renee has a collection of short stories in the Reed Ferguson series and I loved them. Kind of noirish with some dark comedy. I was thrilled to see Out of the Past and had to have it.

  18. Lola says:

    I am not a big fan of horror as a genre, although in books I scary less easy then when watching a movie. There’s just something about being able to visualize it yourself that makes it less scary. I am currently reading a book that’s marketed as a paranormal thriller, but it’s actually not that scary.

    • fuonlyknew says:

      My imagination wreaks havoc when I’m reading a scary book. I visualize well and scare myself. LOL
      And I enjoy paranormal suspense and thrillers. It’s that little bit of the unknown that increases the tension and lets your mind roam.

  19. atothewr says:

    My favorite time of year – love Halloween. I have to dust off my yearly favorite movies to watch this time or year – Halloween and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Always sets the mood for me.

  20. Wow you got quite a few new books this week, and congrats on your wins! I’m not a big fan of fall or horror stuff, but I do love Halloween.

  21. Naomi @ Nomi’s Paranormal Palace says:

    Wow!! LOTS of reads there! And looks like some good Zombie ones too! Enjoy!

    Thanx for visiting My Weekly Wrap-Up!
    Naomi @ Nomi’s Paranormal Palace

  22. $100?! Wow, congrats on that! You can buy many books with that!

  23. Excellent book haul! I picked up a couple, had a couple and the rest weren’t free anymore. *pouts* Ah, well. It’s not like I don’t have any books to read. lol
