Welcome to Filling the Shelf, or as many of you know it, Mailbox Monday! If you’re interested in joining the fun or seeing what other bloggers added to their shelves, click away! (but beware, visiting other mailboxes will probably add to your neverending wishlist!)

Happy Halloween!

Hope you all had a great & spooky weekend! 🙂 My celebrations were limited to a pumpkin spiced latte and a bit of scary reading – just how I like it!

I have a bit of a bigger mailbox this week since I skipped a mailbox or two, I’m not sure, but of course I added a few things to my shelves recently. I already managed to read The Dead Girls of Hysteria Hall and Daughters Unto Devils, which were respectively great and good and both perfect picks for this gloomy season.

And then all books I wished for, by authors I’ve read and enjoyed before. Anecdote : I mentioned a few weeks ago that I had never read Jodi Picoult before, but I was looking through old lists of books read and realized that in fact, I had! But a long time ago, translated in French. I rarely forget authors and books, so I’m guessing I “registered” it in my memory as a different author because of the language. I thought that was interesting!

Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult – The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness – A World Without You by Beth Revis

The Dead Girls of Hysteria Hall by Katie Alender – Daughters Unto Devils by Amy Lukavics

Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake – Nevernight by Jay Kristoff – And the Trees Crept In by Dawn Kurtagich
