Sorry this is late! I had some computer issues. To make it up to you, there will be a bonus update on Monday.
Good for: Anyone who can read, especially those who enjoyed the first few books in the Harry Potter series. People who are already familiar with and enjoy Terry Pratchett and/or Discworld should enjoy it as well, but no prior Discworld knowledge is required.

Good for: People looking for a novelty book, and not much else. Although I hear the audio book is better.

Good for: Anybody! Except young children (It's about death! Drugs! Mature situations!).
I don't usually like short stories, but these are all really good, and the best part is you can read them in nice, digestible chunks.
Reading options: Get the free pdf here, get the book from Topatoco, or get it at Amazon.

Good for: People who like really good books, although not people who can't handle sentimental stuff and/or poetic language (but hey, there's war and violence to balance things out for those people).

Good for: Younger readers who've run out of other stuff to read. Otherwise, it's been done, and done better. Don't bother!
(I liked the "Good for" thing I did for All Hallows Read, so I'm keeping it!)

All Hallow's Read!
Give a book for Halloween!
Spooky elements: Halloween, trick-or-treating, demons, monsters, living dead (but it was much more funny than scary).
Good for: older kids and up, especially anyone who likes Terry Pratchett, and especially people who like Good Omens (unless you think it's so similar that it's derivative).
Read my review of The Infernals, the sequel to The Gates.
