pickCatch up on a couple reviews
This was pretty good. I got a little confused part way through but sorted myself out fairly quickly. Creepy and unsettling for sure!

This book started strong and extremely creepy. The middle slowed and got repetitive, but when the perspective switched to another character, it picked up again. I absolutely loved the ending, but I know it's one of those endings that people will hate if they want every detailed wrapped up nicely. But if you're looking for a solidly creepy book with an ending that leaves a few questions unanswered, then you should pick up this one.
bailedBail 😑 I really struggled with calling this one. I loved Brother, but I just can‘t eat into it. When it‘s feeling like a chore, the book and I are not meshing. I hope to revisit one day, but I‘m moving on!
pickWell, I liked it. I found it very interesting. I don't want to say too much because it's a #LMPBC. I will hopefully get it sent to the next person within the week.

Could someone email me the list of group members, please? I think I deleted it. It's not in the folder I thought I saved it to.
I received these 2 books & journal (which I previously received) for the #HGPBC but they are mismatched and I don‘t know who they belong to. I don‘t have the initial email since it‘s been a few months since this ended. Tagging some people. Please let me know if this yours, feel free to tag whoever I forgot & email your addresses to me. Thanks!
pickGood old-fashioned creepy fun!
Ania Ahlborn does it again 💁🏻♀️🙌🏻
If you love horror & somehow you haven‘t yet found Ahlborn, fix that now. Pick up this - or really, any book by her - and treat yourself to the new master of the genre. Guaranteed to creep you out & keep you up past your bedtime 😮 🖤
pickOkay #TeamCthulhu I finished The Devil Crept In. I really enjoyed it. Even though its a horror novel it still had a realistic feel and it was small town creepy which is always fun. @jillannjohn I will most likely mail it to you Saturday 😈
@TheReadingMermaid @MaleficentBookDragon
pickAnia Ahlborn has a way with creepy!! This story is told from 2 POVs but comes together at the end in a big, cringe-worthy way! I alternated between the book and audiobook, enjoying both. 👹👿🧟♂️
Starting this tonight! I love my creepy Ania Ahlborn books!!
...and my memory has crept out of my head! I literally received my Amazon order on Friday and Thriftbook on Monday... Of the same book! I totally forgot ordering it twice until the second one came today! Good thing my daughter is also an Ania fan, she'll be getting the Thriftbook copy....
pickI have a new favourite author! Ahlborn's writing keeps you hooked to the story. If the first and second sections are nail biting, the third section will not let you put the book down at all. Loved the author's storytelling, both from the POV of a 10 year old and a married woman. The story gives you all emotions- curiosity, shocked, scared, unsettled and plain dreadful. Best horror book Ive read in a while. Def pick this up if u love being spooked.
1. All kinds of junk, especially deep fried ones
2. I just bought a life planner and it's amazing!
3. The Vanishing Stairs by Maureen Johnson and The Devil Crept In by Ania Ahlborn
4. Anybody who reads this😊
#wondrouswednesday @Eggs
pickA fantastically-foreboding horror novel propelled by the uncertainty of a sympathetic but untrustworthy narrator.
Here are my picks for #TeamCthulhu The Academy by Bentley Little, Cast a Good Eye by Alan Ryan, Lost Boy Lost Girl by Peter Straub, or The Devil Crept In by Ania Ahlborn.
Any preferences @TheReadingMermaid @MaleficentBookDragon @jillannjohn
#HorrorGoesPostalBookClub
so-so3⭐'s. A pretty creepy read! Another perfect book for The Halloween season!
pick@kamoorephoto the next #ScreamsByMail book as selected by @Reggie and sent to me by @scripturient is on its way now to you. The guy from the Post office told me to expect some delay because of the hurricane in the US. #HorrorPostalBookClub with @ephemeralwaltz @danibolahood @BookishTrish
#ReadingResolutions Day 25: My #CurrentRead for #ScreamsByMail #HorrorPostalBookClub with @Reggie @scripturient @kamoorephoto @danibolahood @BookishTrish @ephemeralwaltz
@scripturient the #ScreamsByMail post has arrived. Had to pick it up from the post office - since for some reason it was not brought to our doorstep yday despite the fact that we were home all day 🤷🏽♀️ #HorrorPostalBookClub @Reggie glad to see that this is your pick!!
Beginning my #Screamsbymail read today. I‘ve really been looking forward to this one.
@GatheringBooks I‘ll send out the previous book I had on Monday.
It‘s here, @ephemeralwaltz Can‘t wait to start this one! 😃 And thanks so much for the card and extra book. 😘😘😘😘😘 #screambymail
This audiobook is sitting on my OverDrive ‘shelf‘. On a scale from 1 to F that ish, how creepy is this book? #imnotscared #imcautious #googleimage #notmycat
pickWhat a GREAT weekend read! It does capture the essence of childhood and the frustration of feeling alone in the adult world, and it's a legitimately disturbing story. Rosie's narration just sucked me in and I couldn't put it down 😱😱 It kept me guessing and it's relevant that I hadn't read 370 pages in just two days for such a long time! I would definitely like to read more from this author 😋
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Can't put this down #currentread2 👻😱 #ScreamsByMail
@Reggie @danibolahood @kamoorephoto @scripturient @GatheringBooks @BookishTrish @teebe
Your pick is here @Reggie I absolutely LOVE the journal!! 👏👏 Thank you for the additional chocolate @danibolahood 😍😍 Will get to this in a few weeks after I finish @BookishTrish's pick!
#Horrorpost #ScreamsbyMail
@GatheringBooks @teebe @kamoorephoto @scripturient
pickHow did I go so long without knowing of this author?! I loved this creepy little gem and I‘m ready to read some more from Ahlborn! ☠️
pickWhelp I definitely did nothing but read all day and finished this one up. I really really liked it - great pick @Reggie! I will definitely be thinking about this one for a few days. #screamsbymail #horrorpost @ephemeralwaltz @BookishTrish @GatheringBooks @scripturient @kamoorephoto
The weather network is calling for about 24 hours of freezing rain over today and into tomorrow morning so I'm house bound in a cozy sweater with nothing to do but read 🌧️❄️📖
Ok #horrorpost peeps I have my tea, a blankie and an entire evening to do nothing but read! While it's nice to have a real paycheque again I'm not enjoying the limitations full time work is putting on my time! I am grateful to have it but sheesh it's an adjustment.
@BookishTrish @GatheringBooks @scripturient @ephemeralwaltz @reggie @kamoorephoto
pickMy 2nd Ania Ahlborn and I think I found a new fave author! Another supernatural (or is it?) thriller with some gorey spots and lots of dysfunctional family dynamics. I can't wait to get my hands on the Seed, why oh why doesn't my lib have it!!???
@BookishTrish you spoiled me this month! Thank you so much for thoughtfully surprising me with a book off my wish list and including it with my #horrorpost package! This is especially welcome because I'm like #88 on the hold list at the library.
Super excited to get into your pick @Reggie.
#screamsbymail
@kamoorephoto @ephemeralwaltz @GatheringBooks @scripturient
One of the books I‘m anxious to get to in my TBR is this horror story. @ReadingEnvy sent this along in our first #whodunitbymail and I still haven‘t gotten to it. 🤦🏼♀️ #devilinside #marchintooz
It's too rainy to stop off at the post office @danibolahood I'll send the book out to you tomorrow.
Lately there's been too much work (fun work but still work) and not enough reading #rectifytime #screamsbymail
I finished nine books this month. Two of them were on my kindle, and the rest had to go back to the library already.
#febstats #readingresolutions @Jess7
Family day sleep in! @Reggie Look what's arrived!!! I'm madly in love with the bookmark, sampled the breakfast chocolate (I'm assuming all chocolate has the potential to be breakfast chocolate) and am diving in to my first #screamsbymail #horrorpost ❤️☠️❤️Thanks @Reggie
pickDrinking game: Every time a stray cat is mentioned take a shot. Unless you‘re a pro, you won‘t make it past chapter 3. Lol. This was my book for my #screamsbymail group and I feel great about it. Ania has yet to write a book where I feel a formula is involved. This hit a lot of horror points for me. Stevie finds out his best friend and cousin, Jude, is missing. Small town, dark woods, good creepy stuff. She wrote 2 young boys very believably.
Hey @BookishTrish The Devil Crept In is on it‘s way. I sent it yesterday and updates say it‘s in Los Angeles. I don‘t know how the customs thing works, whether they sit on the package or not. It was my first international package. Woohoo!! Your naive American friend filled out paperwork on this package for customs as if someone might use the postal service to send illegal substances through the mail. Lol. It‘s on it‘s way. #HorrorPost
I‘m calling it. Didn‘t make the whole 24 but did ok.
Tips for the next 24:
1. Don‘t schedule the paint nite your friend bought you for X-Mas on Saturday night thinking it‘ll just be a 2hr reading break when it‘ll turn into a 6 hr catchup.
2. Don‘t read a 672pg. emotionally exhausting book to start your second day. It‘ll wipe you out. Keep it light.
3. Reg, the day you swore would never come, came. You definitely prefer digital books. 😵
pickI always enjoy Ahlborn‘s writing! This one may not be my favorite (it‘s more sad than spooky, really) - but it definitely is a fast-paced read that is hard to put down! And while I didn‘t have a picture of chicken poo to color (a favored insult in this one), it worked out with my coloring calendar being a chicken!! #Audiocoloring
I'm having a little bout with depression and finding it a little hard to focus on reading. ''Tis the season for the blues. I hope it is temporary. 😔 On the bright side, my (four legged) baby is sleeping and I have some peace and quiet. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Remember, if you are suffering with depression and/or anxiety, you are not alone. I really love this community and feel like it is a sort of sanctuary. 💜
Well, as we all know, @JoeStalksBeck is one awesome Litten. She just sent me this tagged book. She steered me in Anya‘s direction a little while ago and I love her work. This one sounds very creepy. Thank you!!! You are the best!
(Plus, earlier today the #kindledailydeal got me again😊)
😍 I've been coveting these books for so long now! Especially Stiff and the tagged one. I've been on an Ania Ahlborn kick lately where I just want to read everything she's ever written so this is amazing. The Poe bookmark is perfect and everything is just so cute. Thank you @JPeterson ! #halloweengoespostal
