these last 6 days are going to be tumbleweeds of tension, so i am making one Distraction Open Thread a day.

TODAY: Tell me about the BEST mystery you've ever read. I'm talking staying up all night to finish, a twist ending you could not see coming, surprise, intrigue

Don't be shy! Perfectly fine to list your favorite agatha christie/tana french/whatever! Just because it's something popular doesn't mean people cannot be reminded to pick it up for spooky season

i'll add one here, the novel Night Film, which is a PERFECT spooky read and a book I recommend to just about everyone I know who asks me for something that will keep them reading until 2am with a pot of nightcoffee https://bookshop.org/books/night-film/9780812979787?aid=191&listref=danielle-s-staff-picks
