Dreadful Tale of Prosper Redding | 
panWow, those kids were so annoying. The demon just ridiculous. I only finished this book because it was part of a challenge. Otherwise I would've DNF it latest when all those boring school lessons came up. Nope, not a series I'm going to continue reading.

pickJust now finished this super fun middle grade story - I enjoyed it much more than I expected!
This was my 7th book finished for #nutsinmay - my goal was 5 so I'm very happy. I read a total of 1,879 pages over the course of the readathon.
Thanks for hosting, @Andrew65 - super fun!
so-soHi everyone! I just finished listening to the audiobook. It was pretty good. I've lost a little interest of the book in the middle. The ending was pretty good. A little twist I didn't see coming. I will definitely read the next book. I recommend the audiobook the voice of the fox is pretty great! #litsy #kindle #kindlefire #paperwhite #library #bookgeek #booklover
pickI loved this, simultaneously cute and creepy! Time to read the last book: The Last Life of Prince Alastor.
pickSo this is one of my favourite books of the year easily! Holy crap this was funny! If you've ever watched A Very Potter Musical with Voldemort and Quirrel + seen Hocus Pocus...the vibes you'll get from this are insane! It's so enjoyable. The characters are great and there's a massive twist at the end. I don't know who's good anymore!
Time to break things up with a mg that my friend has been bugging me to read.
so-so⭐️⭐️⭐️ - The story and plot were fun, but a lot of the humor just wasn‘t for me. (Which makes sense - this is a middle-grade novel.) I do want to know what happens, so more than likely will be picking up the sequel when it comes out.
pickLoved this book, found it mesmerising and so different from anything I have read recently or at all. 5/5
Time change. A toddlers moms worst enemy. Thank God for coffee!
pick[#BookReview] The Dreadful Tale of Prosper Redding by Alexandra Bracken. This book is the perfect book to read for Halloween. It‘s got a spooky plot, great characters, and an autumnal atmosphere. I definitely plan on not only buying this book for my collection but I also plan on reading the sequel when it releases early 2019! 📖🦊

1. Hopefully building indoor turtle enclosure's
2. This was hard, I read so many great books this month!
3. Meat #vegetarian
4. My parents forced me to play softball for 3 years, I hated it! I was scared of the ball and bat(after my dad threw it at me) and always got stuck in the outfield, I was so bored and would daydream and makeup stories or songs and wish I was home reading.
Hope you all have a great weekend!!

My first birthday present so far today! I‘m super excited to read this! 🖤 I seriously have the best friends!
So exciting! From Alexandra Bracken's announcement on Instagram and Facebook:
"The ghoulish end arrives January 2019! ??? I just turned in my edits and am soooo pumped for you guys to read how the story ends! I think it might surprise you... ? #ProsperRedding #finalcovertocome"
pickThere was a lot packed in at the end... I'm hoping we don't have to wait forever for the sequel.
“Is it not the case with these humans that they must be shown they desire something before they know they desire it?”
I was initially drawn to the cover, and then after reading the summary, I thought this book sounded perfect for me. Upon reading half the book, I thought maybe I wasn't in the mood for middle-grade novels right now, because I prefer my books to be meatier, more in-depth. However as I continued reading, I got more into the story, and now I'm looking forward to the next book in the series! See my full review at acrossthelibrary.com
About to do some reading, and I've got a few reading buddies to keep me company! #readingbuddies #catsoflitsy
My buddy and I are about to start this one. #catsoflitsy #readingbudding
Being different----being simply you instead of what other people wanted you to be----was its own kind of bravery.
Maybe it was true that we never really escape our histories. That revenge is a poison that stays in the hearts of families, reborn with each generation. I was nothing like my family, or this curse, but I couldn't run away from them.
Again, another attempt to better track my reading as well as tackle my overflowing TBR shelf. I usually don't do monthly TBRs but I really need to reduce the size of the stack of books by my bed 😁🤓😜
Go to bed or start a new book...decisions, decisions.🤔🤔🤓
"I would say it's a pleasure to meet thee, Prosperity Oceanus Redding, but truly, I only anticipate the delights of destroying thy happiness."
a tale of betrayal and revenge, of old hurts passed down from generation to generation. Can you ever fully right a wrong, ever truly escape your history? Or are you doomed to repeat it?
pickFantastic book title & a perfect story for this time of year. Seriously, this book is best read at Halloween-Thanksgiving time, when the skies are a leaden gray, the wind rustles the dead leaves & it‘s dark by 4:30. Prosper Redding is the only unexceptional member of the Redding family which, it turns out, owes its prosperity to a deal with a fiend. That fiend is now inside Prosper & he wants out & is causing loads of trouble. A fun MG read.
Confession—I would read this for the title alone. That being said, I‘m Interested to see what Bracken, an established YA author, does with MG. Always looking for great books to recommend to young readers.
pickThis was a tremendous beginning to a new series. Prosper is a refreshing young character and Alistor makes the perfect villain. With an ending that you cant see coming, this is a book that you can‘t go wrong picking up. Can‘t wait for the sequel to be released!
pickI finished The Dreadful Tale of Prosper Redding by Alexandra Bracken! I thought that this book was a fun ride and I can‘t wait to read the next book when it comes out!
Today's #BookMail was definitely appropriate for the season, Halloween is tomorrow & this tale of broken bargains with demons sounds perfect for a spooky night read. Prosper is living an ordinary life until he finds that a demon is trying to possess him. Turns out his many greats grandfather made a contract with the demon & then broke it. Now Alastor the fiend wants to destroy the Redding family, and he's going to use Prosper to get his revenge.😈
"Batten down the hatches, knave! Alastor said. This ship is about to set sail!"
pickThis book was just the Halloween fun I was looking for! Prosper has a demon that‘s ancient and funny too. He meets Nell and his uncle and drama ensues. It‘s a MG so it‘s a fast easy read and the fantasy element kept me excited. The only thing I really don‘t like was the cliffhanger ending but I won‘t mind picking up the sequel. Prosper was such an easy character to get attached too, he‘s just so good inside. I loved it. 🐺😈🎃👻🖤
“I...mistook it...for an apple,”
This has some really funny moments in it and it‘s so cute!
pickI really enjoyed this book. The writing is really good as always for Bracken. The world building was amazing. The plot kept me hooked the whole way though! I enjoyed Prosper but didn‘t like Nell or Uncle B as much. Al was a ‘bad guy‘ but also kinda sarcastic and sassy and I loved it! Great start to a new middle grade series! I need book 2 right now!
Can some give me a cat with wings for Christmas?!

Here's part of my library haul this month! My library finally got in a bunch of YA new releases and I pounced on them. I am going to read either The Dreadful Tale of Prosper Redding or One of Us is Lying when I finish my current read. Thoughts of either of those?
#thedreadfultaleofprosperredding #oneofusislying #warcross #libraryhaul
My sweet fiancé gave me a birthday gift early so I could add it to my October TBR! I have been dying to read this so I will be starting it as soon as I finish a few ARCs! #uncannyoctober #octobermostanticipated
Had a super crappy day at work so I‘m curling up with this and my bestest buddy 💙
Me: Ooohhh, this book is calling my name. I'll start it while enjoying my morning coffee!
Half read books on my nightstand: Ahem, don't you think you should finish us first?
Me: But this one seems so perfect right now. And look at that cover!
One of the unfinished books: Seriously?! You only have 7 chapters left in me!
New book: Oh just ignore them. They're jealous. Read me.
Me: Ok!!
This is why I'm always reading, but rarely finishing 😄
Loving this new MG book, so spooky. Perfect for a Fall read aloud
pickThe Dreadful Tale of Prosper Redding is definitely one of the best middle grade novels I've read! It's a fun, quick read that's perfect for Halloween! I know it's a middle grade, but it should appeal to anyone excited for the fall season! 🎃 I'm counting down the days until the sequel! 4/5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickThis one was absolutely fun to read. It's spooky, but not too spooky and it's full of good themes like love, family, friendship, and loyalty. I also loved all the humor. Prosper and Alastor have great dialogue and it's mega Halloween vibes. Highly recommend to young readers and those who love Middle Grade!
I did a dumbass thing: I didn't read the ARC before the hardcover came out 😕
This middle grade story of a storied family's deal with a demon sounds perfect for October - that will be my excuse for this #fail.
#gottareadthoseARCs
Happy Book Birthday to @alexbracken! #TheDreadfulTaleofProsperRedding is out today 😍📚 This is one middle grade novel we totally think YA readers must check out. P.S. the end papers are BEAUTIFUL
Spending some quality time with this book today. It has the perfect atmosphere to get me ready for Fall and Halloween. I highly recommend it! #litsypartyofone
Got this beauty in while I was on vacation! It releases September 5th!!!
pickDo us all a favor and get this book when it comes out. It's pure magic and reminds me of Hocus Pocus. It's the perfect Halloween read for all ages. The story is creative and keeps you guessing to the end.
