I´m traveling to Scotland on Wednesday, where I definitely will do some book shopping. Which means I have to think about what to read for Halloween bingo and which books I have to be on the lookout for in Edinburgh. I will be reading a whole lot of books I already own as well for this game, though. And this TBR can and probably will change during the game.

 

 

Country House Mystery, Locked Room Mystery, Genre: Mystery, Murder Most Foul, Amateur Sleuth:

 

I could read...

 

The Mad Hatter Mystery (Dr. Gideon Fell #2) - John Dickson Carr,Otto Penzler  Towards Zero - Agatha Christie  Seven Dead - J. Jefferson Farjeon  

The Poisoned Chocolates Case - Anthony Berkeley  The So Blue Marble - Dorothy B. Hughes  The Red House Mystery - A.A. Milne  

 

... and I have a whole lot of other options sitting on my shelves. These squares shouldn´t be a problem.

 

Classic Noir, Modern Noir:

 

Pop. 1280 - Jim Thompson  The Legacy: Children's House, Book 1 - Yrsa Sigurdardóttir, Victoria Cribb (Translator)  Knots and Crosses - Ian Rankin  

 

For classic noir Pop. 1280. And for modern noir:  I own a copy of The Legacy, but since I´m in Scotland, I´m awfully tempted to buy a physical copy of Ian Rankins Knots and Crosses. I have to think about this a little bit.

 

Black Cat, Fear Street:

 

I haven´t the faintest clue what to read for these squares yet.

 

13:

 

Macbeth (The Pelican Shakespeare) - William Shakespeare,Stephen Orgel,Stephen Orgel,Stephen Orgel,A. R. Braunmuller 

 

 

I need your help with this one. Does Macbeth qualify for this square?

 

Serial / Spree Killer, American Horror Story, Southern Gothic (books in order):

 

A Killing Kindness - Reginald Hill  The Fisherman - John Langan  Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil - John Berendt  

 

Relics and Curiosities, Paint it Black, Cozy Mystery, Classic Horror (books in order):

 

 

The Amulet - Michael McDowell,Poppy Z Brite  Beloved - Toni Morrison 

 Maisie Dobbs - Jacqueline Winspear  Benighted - J.B. Priestley  

 

Dark Academia, International Women of Mystery:

 

Gaudy Night - Dorothy L. Sayers  Edith's Diary - Patricia Highsmith  

People Who Knock on the Door - Patricia Highsmith  Eleven - Graham Greene  

 

I simply have to read Gaudy Night for Dark Academia. It´s the perfect match. And for International Women of Mystery is has to be a Highsmith. Don´t know which one it´s going to be yet.

 

Psych, Gothic, Creepy Crawlies, Terror in a Small Town, Film at 11 (books in order):

 

Stillhouse Lake - Rachel Caine  The Broken Girls - Simone St. James  Gods of Jade and Shadow - Silvia Moreno-Garcia  

We Have Always Lived in the Castle - Shirley Jackson,Joyce Carol Oates  The Postman Always Rings Twice - James M. Cain  

 

These are my planned audiobook reads. I´m not sure if I can manage to listen to five audiobooks over two months. But I can try.

 

 

And now the wait for September 1th begins.
