12 posts | 21 read | 13 to read
Now in paperback, the highly anticipated sequel to the New York Times bestselling The Haunting of Sunshine Girl ("A 21st century, iPhone-enabled 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'"-The Daily Beast), in which ghost-hunter Sunshine Griffith discovers her own paranormal abilities and a most unexpected and lethal enemy. Sunshine Griffith has been awakened. Her powers are now fully alive and spirits follow her everywhere, desperate for help moving on to the afterlife. Hoping to get her luiseach abilities under control, she agrees to begin training with her mentor-her birth father, Aidan. Aidan takes her to an abandoned campus deep in the Mexican jungle, far from her would-be boyfriend and protector, Nolan. But Aidan's work turns out to be more terrifying than Sunshine could have imagined. Is she prepared to finally learn the truth about what's threatening the future of the luiseach and the human race...and the deadly part she may play in it?

I'm on a night train to visit my late grandma's hometown and this book has accompanied me since I left the station.

After endless chips and salsa, the BF and I went downtown to walk off our dinner and perused the local used record shop, Love Garden, and used bookshop, The Dusty Bookshelf. I found a couple books from my wishlist as well as an autographed book of poetry. Plus, we got to spend time with Dinah, the bookshop‘s resident cat. The shop employee said that, yes, she is THAT Dinah. ❤️😻

TEArificbooks 😁😻glad you enjoyed Dusty 7y

TommieMarie74 @mdm139 @Babiesandbooks @CallMeIshmael It‘s such a lovely store. Calm, peaceful, it has several rooms and, of course, Dinah. Everyone there is really wonderful too. I could easily get lost in there for hours. 7y
DeborahSmall Heaven ❤️❤️ 7y
brennahawleycraig Yay Dusty Bookshelf! I have one of those Dinah t-shirts 😻 7y
GripLitGrl Perfect date night 💗 7y
TommieMarie74 @brennahawleycraig I almost bought a t-shirt tonight! Dinah was being very entertaining. ❤️ Are you a fellow Kansan? 7y
TommieMarie74 @GripLitGrl It really was. 😊 7y
HedgeWhitney I love The Dusty Bookshelf. Dinah is the best. 😺❤️ 7y
TommieMarie74 @HedgeWhitney Are we neighbors?!? I love meeting all these local Littens!! ❤️ 7y
HedgeWhitney @TommieMarie74 We probably are. 😊 7y
TommieMarie74 @brennahawleycraig @HedgeWhitney We may need to have a Litsy meet up in the Lawrence area sometime. It sounds like there‘s a few of us around here. 😊 7y
HedgeWhitney @TommieMarie74 Sounds good to me! 7y
brennahawleycraig @TommieMarie74 yes!! I had no idea anyone on here was from town! I‘m down south of town by Vinland but close enough! 7y
TommieMarie74 Yay!!! 7y
KathyWheeler When I lived in Manhattan, KS, The Dusty Bookshelf kept me sane. It‘s still the best used bookstore I‘ve ever been in. 7y
TommieMarie74 @KathyWheeler I bet!! We are down to two bookstores here in Lawrence, The Dusty Bookshelf and The Raven. Everything else has closed. 😕 7y
KathyWheeler @TommieMarie74 I hate to hear that you‘ve lost so many book stores. 7y
TommieMarie74 @KathyWheeler Me too. There is still the KU bookstore on campus but it‘s difficult to get to and as the store is focused mostly on textbooks and school supplies and memorabilia, the selection is very limited. 7y
vivastory I love the Dusty Bookshelf. I really need to visit the Raven. I miss the old Borders on Mass across from the Bottleneck, it was easily my favorite location. I think that's where the new Lawrence library is. 7y
TommieMarie74 @vivastory The library‘s temporary home during construction was in the old Borders. The library is now back at its former location but in a new, larger building. The old Borders remains empty, as does the building Hastings was in, which closed last year. Half-Price Books closed as well, about 2 years ago. 7y
vivastory I live in KC MO. I don't make it to Lawrence as often as I'd like to. It's a shame that there's only two bookstores left. 7y

3/100 The Awakening of Sunshine Girl by Paige McKenzie

I read Book 1 in this series in June of last year and, as always, it took me absolutely forever to move onto the next book. But it's safe to say that I am still 100% into it. I also think that it's a pretty good sign when you finish the entire book in around 6 hours.

I cannot wait to get my hands on Book 3, and I'll hopefully read it later on this year.

I'm hoping for some deliciously creepy scenes in this book! The first book was pretty creepy and, as it's Halloween time, I could use a little more creepy!

Currently reading the Awakening of Sunshine Girl. I thought Haunting was pretty good but so far I'm disappointed in this book. :/ Hoping it gets better! I'm only on page 60...

I decided to bake some chocolate chip cookies while I continue listening to The Awakening of Sunshine Girl. I'm enjoying it so far. It's not as creepy as the first book, but at least it still has some ghosts in it 👻. I have about 7 hours of reading under my belt so far for the #24in48 readathon!

shanebeth mmmmm! 8y
readinginthedark Yum! Good plan! 8y
DebinHawaii Those cookies look amazing! 🍪👍 8y

So the plan was to hunker down in my condo and not leave unless it was an emergency. However, I received an email this morning from a bookstore where I often shop saying they're going out of business sale starts today. So I'm sadly walking around and building a stack of books to buy. Super sad to see them go. Then I'm heading to B&N for their customer appreciation day. I'm listening to the 2nd Sunshine Girl book as I drive around.

She was doing nothing but rambling on and on, as if solely to fill up space in the book. Describing every single particle of every single thing! I decided it was better to DNF at 98 pages than to pull my hair out to finish it.

Mehso-so

I grabbed this book on a whim and didn't realize it was part of a trilogy. This is the second book and I never read the first. It had a good storyline and was an easy read. It's not one I couldn't put down but it was a good read :)

Most dads just want their kids to get good grades, go to college, that kind of thing. My mentor/father thinks I can change the world.
