Thanks for mentioning I So Don't Do Mysteries in this great line-up! Happy Halloween!
Well, this Red Sox fan now needs to get ahold of The Prince of Fenway Park! Thanks for the seasonal recs!
Does Ruined have a poc as the main character (I couldn't tell from the cover all that well, but it looks like it).
Great list! I have to read these and be better prepared next Halloween :) Especially the Shadow Speaker.
Barrie - thanks for stopping by. Congrats on the Cybils nod.
Becker - forgo the World Series this year for The Prince of Fenway Park.
Ari- Yes, the ghost is Black. (Haitian).
