Hello and a very warm welcome to damppebbles. It’s Tuesday which means it’s time for this week’s Top Ten Tuesday post. I’ve decided to take part in That Artsy Reader Girl’s Top Ten Tuesday meme to mix things up a little here at damppebbles. Add a little bit of variety to our bookish weeks.

The meme was originally created by The Broke and the Bookish but has lived with Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl since January 2018. It was created to encompass a love of books, of lists and to bring readers together. If you would also like to take part then you’re very welcome: the more, the merrier. Just make sure you link back to Jana’s post every week. If you don’t have a blog, then no problem, just add your list to the comments below.

This week’s theme is a Halloween Freebie. I feel I’ve read quite a few books in the last year that feature a haunted house of some description so that’s my theme of choice today: Haunted House Novels with a Twist. A twist because one or two of the following books may not traditionally be classed as haunted house tales. I’ll let you be the judge of which books are and which books perhaps aren’t 😂

(There’s a definite colour scheme going on here!) There you have it. Ten books I feel have a haunted house vibe about them, even if they’re not officially classed as being about a haunted house. Do you agree with the ten books I’ve chosen? I’m still a little unsure on one. 

Have you read any of the books on my list this week? Do you love a haunted house tale as much as I do? Are you taking part in Top Ten Tuesday this week? Let me know in the comments.

So there we have it! If you fancy joining in next week then head on over to That Artsy Reader Girl’s blog to find out what the next topic is!
