Welcome to Litsy!

This was a pretty excellent, detailed retelling of The Fall of the House of Usher. I believe it‘s supposed to be YA but it seemed more like general fiction to me. A very atmospheric read.

A book you‘d recommend whose title starts with the featured letter.

I haven‘t ready any horror or anything too scary in years, but I found this #HauntedHouse book that is a retelling of Poe‘s Fall of the House of Usher. Seems interesting! #LitsySpringBreak

I love Edgar Allan Poe, and since this book was inspired by some of his work, I had to read it. This did not let me down, it's so dark and eerie, with gothic themes and such a weird atmosphere through it all, it captured me.
The cover is beautiful, and even though you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, I feel that it counts.

I was feeling like a virtual bookshelf organization was overdue.
I also ended up making a fall swap wish list in case my #summerbookswap or #fallingforfallswap matches needed some stalking help. I'm Chelle (MaleficentBookDragon) on #Goodreads

“The house knows everything. The House sees everything, hears everything, knows your every desire and your every thought. And the House will never let you go.”

Pumpkin! I ❤️ pumpkin spice.
Cozy (but I do like horror, too).
Hayride!
Hot cocoa, especially with marshmallow Fluff.
Corn maze - I love the ones that are a crazy shape from the sky.
Bonfires. I've never been tailgating but I hate sports.... which leads to
NO football. 😝

#Siblings A brilliant retelling of 'The Fall of the House of Usher'. Madeline and her twin brother, Roderick, both suffer from the family illness. But Madeline feels the house living and breathing around her. It talks to her, fills her dreams, controls her actions, ensuring she never leaves the property. #aprilbookshowers @RealLifeReading

#JudgedByItsCover These were all random book buys that I made because of their covers. A lot of times the cover is what draws my attention to a book to see if it has an interesting story. #marchintoreading @RealLifeReading

Meh, it's weird. I don't like how it skips around by her age randomly. The concept is interesting.

Madeline awakes in a coffin. And she was put there by her own twin brother. But how did it come to this?

The house itself is alive, and it will never let Madeline escape, driving her to madness just as it has all of her ancestors. But she won't let it have her brother, Roderick. She'll do everything in her power to save him, even if it means bringing the house down around them.

Inspired by Poe's House of Usher. So it's gotta be good!

This was one of those 'Right book, right time' situations. I loved the creepy atmosphere and the fast pacing of the chapters. That ending may have broken a small piece of me.
