Welcome to Litsy!

This book was so creepy. And I loved all the 80's throwback that reminded me of my childhood. Love Grady Hendrix!

4.5 ⭐ for me on this one just because I couldn't put it down. Stayed up way past my bedtime to finish it last night and am paying the price today but totally worth it. There were some super creepy parts but was also a wonderful story of friendship between two girls growing up in the 80's. The throwbacks were alot of fun and would definitely reccomend.

This has all the makings of an 80s horror film with the added bonus of song lyrics and titles included through the book. The plot itself was interesting and the ending was a really good way to end the book. First book finished for #MrBook1inaMillion #litsypartyofone #24B4Monday

I really needed a light funny book to read after finishing Imaginary Friend and this book worked wonderfully.

While I found this story funny and I loved how all the chapters were 80s songs but I really didn‘t like the whole black face and slavery thing. I know this is a book and it‘s not suppose to be taken seriously but that just left a bad taste. I thought this would be that campy horror humor sorry like HorrorStor but it wasn‘t.
⭐️⭐️⭐️

It‘s spirit week in a religious high school and the ywar is 1988. Apparently black face and slave day were ok back then.

They also had a slave market that day where they could buy slaves.

So, i'm not into scary but even i want to join in on a little spooky halloween fun. This was an interesting read but did not make me jump at every noise my old house makes! I spent most of the story worried about the MC and the trouble she was getting into. Second book I've read by the author and i look forward to more. Creative stories that are filled with the unexpected.

I had pretty low expectations going in given the title and pulpy looking cover (which I also think is awesome btw) but this was actually really good! So well written; it‘s one of those books you don‘t even realise you‘re reading you‘re just completely immersed in the 80s with these girls. I loved it! 👍 #scarathlon #scaryscavengerhunt (exorcism) #teamstoker

Must say shoe size is a strange question. Lol

I'm going to have a hard time matching the impression Lincoln in the Bardo made on me, but here's a sampling of the books I got from the library to try. Not sure where to start!

Wow, this is a silly, heartfelt, nostalgic horror comedy filled with Aussie hair spray, Bartles and James wine coolers, those problematic 80s, Satanic Panic and the power of human connections (and throughout I was hearing whispers of Def Leppard). I‘m cutting my teeth here on reviews and since we‘re in the time of burn the witch who spoils I‘m leaving y‘all with 2 factoids. I read it in like a day and a half and it made me ugly cry. Read it.

I'd try not bail on this, but 😝 the dirty words and deeds get a little too gross for my taste in pumpkin ale .. The book cover is cute, but I'm finding the 80's horror flick theme, overly around the rebellious teen misadventures 🙄 Maybe it's just my October feeling, currently looking for something else .. I'll retry this book again another time for thoughts.

What do you do when the power is out? Thank PG&E (sarcasm) and read scary stories.

Found this gem on the sale rack and couldn‘t resist! I‘ve been looking forward to this one since it came out a couple years ago!

Starting this one today! The chapter song list makes me so happy! I really enjoyed Horrorstor which was also written by Grady Hendricks so i have high hopes for this read! #flashback #ihearttheeighties #horror #horrorreads

It's about time I started My Best Friend's Exorcism, as a stacked TBR gift from a best friend of mine. 📣🤓 Here's a clue on this year's humour, early at the Spirit Halloween shop. I've got a quirky costume thing for collecting cheer outfits; now as my 4th! 🎃 Photo shares coming soon, near Halloween.

Is your best friend possessed by a demon owl or just being grody to the max?

So I have been tagged by about 20 people to participate in this challenge. It's my own fault since I am the #coverlove girl. So I am not sticking to 7, but to one for every person who tagged me. Sorry I don't remember who it all was, and I admit to being to lazy to go look. @Jennifer88 had the first day and I posted Across the Universe.

Book 2 is the paper back edition of the ragged book. The hardcover cover sucked.

A darkly farcical journey into teenage drama and the 1980s "War on Drugs" and other vehicles of evil. The book has that tongue-in-cheek "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" feel to it, if you find the idea of teenage demonic possession and 80s satanic paranoia funny (I do). It might be a bit too dark for some. It gets into the intense drama of teenage relationships in a realistic way. High School was a bit like an exorcism for me too.

I am in this picture and the nostalgia is real.

Another one down, next one is up for the prompt: book with a gorgeous cover. I really love this faux 1980s VHS look. The nostalgia is real. #tbr #newts2019

A quick, breezy, fun read... perfect for #cottagetime.☀️
#greatbookcover and lots of fun 80s nostalgia.

If you‘re missing Stranger Things already, then I definitely recommend this book! What an awesome blend of 80s culture and horror that made it feel like a cult classic akin to The Craft and The Lost Boys. This book was awesome.

I got a Kindle Paperwhite to replace my Fire. I‘m liking it so far! And what a fun book to get started on it 🧡

Man, this was a trip. Haven't read something I breezed through in a couple days! But I have so. many. questions!

Not very nice to start reading this in a hospital waiting room, no? 😂👻 saw this somewhere in the internet (here? IG?) so when I saw it at a bookstore I passed by on my way home, I got it. Has anyone read this? 🖐

This was pure 80‘s nostalgia with some horror mixed in! I had fun reading this one!

incredible cover art!! Starting it now, i‘ve heard good things 💀💕

•Edit• I loved this book! one of the reviews described it as if Tina Fey wrote the Exorcist and i totally have to agree but mix in The Heathers. i recommend this book, very funny, heartfelt and just the right amount of horror. i can‘t wait to read more from this author

Damn fine book filled with laughter, horror and creep. Now I have a new author to add to my favorites #gradyhendrix #readthisdrinkthat #80snostalgia

“Because you‘re my only best friend,” Gretchen said. #gradyhendrix #readingglassespodcast #nostaliga

80s nostalgia, best friends, high school, and demonic possession. What more could you ask for? I love Hendrix‘s stylized book, made to look like a yearbook, and his dark sense of humor sparkles throughout.

"Corn dogs" the exorcist said, "is all the proof I need, there is a God."

I had listened to some Books on Tape as a kid, but it wasn‘t until I got #BehindtheWheel for an hour-a-day commute that I really appreciated audiobooks. The first book I tried on Audible was the tagged book, and I was hooked!

In less than three years, I‘ve racked up a lot of listening time, and this doesn‘t include library books! #MayMovieMagic

#MarchIntoThe70s #Day29 #SchoolsOut Alice Cooper always fascinated me,his showmanship & persona combined with a girls name gave him a “I‘ll be who I damn well please” aura which I totally was onboard with.This book,set in the 80s not the 70s,also has a touch of that vibe,about two friends in junior year at school.After a night of LSD,one disappears before turning up next day acting strange. By the end of the year Abby is convinced she‘s possessed.

This book has definitely got the #BestBookFriendship she stays by her friends side through literally the most horrible time of her life! 🙌

I‘ve read a number of books in 2019 that I have enjoyed, but this is my favorite for the year so far. I loved it. It had a definite Stranger Things vibe to it (hence my Funkos...). I loved all of the 80s references, the humor, and also the fact that it had aspects of old school horror, but nothing that would cause nightmares. This was a lot of fun!
Thanks again, @SiriuslyWeasley !! 😊

This book was really good. It wasn't as scary as I was hoping from other reviews, but it's very difficult to scare me, at least with media. However the imagery was fantastic and I can absolutely see how people could be terrified by this book. I loved the relationships created as well. Definitely would recommend for occult fans. It was an interesting way to present possession

This book was so awesome! The pictures, the complete 80's throwback, the sweet ending. It was all just perfect, it really came together nicely. This book has made me laugh, got me mad, just really threw my emotions around.

Amazing! From the neon drenched, mall cruising, pop song first half, where we meet these high school friends and follow them around typical ‘80‘s life, fun and endearing -through the brutal climax; this is a masterclass in managing tone. Like a rollercoaster gearing up to the first drop, you‘re enjoying the levity of their friendship and youthful indiscretions, until you realize, very slowly, you‘re at the precipice of horror and not ready for it.

I cannot wait to finally finish this book! So close yet so far, and it just keeps getting better and better! 😁😁😁

I really enjoyed this book and it was a quick read for me. I was expecting it to be a little more horror/scary but it turned out being more fun than anything. #horror

Liked this! Too tired to write more haha

Found myself in Chapters today...

#MusicalNewYear As you all know I‘m an #80sGirl so my favorite #TimeWarp was this cheeky novel ~ a total tribute to everything 80‘s 🙌🏻❣️🎧
