Tag: Unlucky 13!

We’re in the full swing of spooky season so what better time to do a book tag post that revolves around perhaps the most unlucky number, 13?!

I found this tag over on The Scarlet Reader and couldn’t resist!
(I did add a few more questions to round them up to thirteen, just for fun).

Rules:

🎃 Answer the following questions.
🎃 Tag some friends!

Questions:

🎃 Name a book with a number in the title. (Extra points if it’s the number 13.)

Th1rt3en by Steve Cavanagh!

🎃 Name a book with a psychic.

Slave to Sensation by Nalini Singh (plus a lot of her Psy-Changeling series)

🎃 Name a book with witches.

Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman – who knows if they’re real witches but I like to think so!

🎃 Name a book with vampires.

Glass Houses by Rachel Caine! The Morganville Vampires was one of my favourite series 🤩

🎃 Name a book with werewolves/shapeshifters.

Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater. I remember loving this series!

🎃 Name a tragic book.

Forbidden by Tabitha Suzuma! Everything about it from the responsibilities that the kids have to carry to the ending just gets me 😭

🎃 Name a ‘dark’ book.

Adèle by Leïla Slimani! I read this during lockdown and I had to take a breather a few times because it was so uncomfortable!

🎃 Name a book you can’t live without. (like a lucky charm!)

The Glass Woman by Caroline Lea. I’d just finished reading it for a blog tour when the author called the bookshop I worked in – she was so lovely and I ended up with a signed copy!

🎃 Name a book with a black or blue cover.

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. This one’s still on my TBR but it’s so pretty!!

🎃 Name a book that scared you.

The Whisper Man by Alex North – this book had me listening out for whispers in the night for ages!

🎃 Name a book that makes you think of Halloween.

Hex Life (edited by Christopher Golden and Rachel Autumn Deering). It’s a fantastic collection of witchy stories from some brilliant authors and it perfect reading for spooky season!

🎃 Name a book that has a scary movie/TV adaption.

IT by Stephen King. I’ve never read this one but the movies definitely made me jump!

🎃 Name your favourite classic scary story.

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. Enough said!
