Welcome to Litsy!

Thank you so much @sharread for my #CreepyChristmasSwap gift! I‘m not going to lie; I might have finished the fudge back when you first sent it to me. You told me to open it and look for the “white hat” gift and I really was going to freeze it to save for tonight, but I just couldn‘t. Tasty!!! These books all look so great! I think I might try the tagged book first. Thank you, thank you!!!

5 💫💫💫💫💫 This was a fun read about Robert the main character prepares dead bodies for a funeral and burial. This is an awesome #gothic read filled with mystery. I enjoyed the poetry too. For me there was a perfect amount of gore, suspense and creepy things going on. #20in4 #BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks @Andrew65

I'm really enjoying this read. Perfect for #Fall or #Halloween time. The #Poems at the beginning of each chapter are beautiful.

While this one wasn‘t my favorite, I do think if you enjoy gothic historical fiction you‘ll enjoy it. It‘s perfect for this time of year when you‘re cozied up by the fireplace. Check out my full review: https://amysbookreviews.com/2021/01/17/the-lost-history-of-dreams-by-kris-waldhe...

Listening to this one on #Libby and I feel some sorta way about it. I feel like I should really love it, but right now it‘s all sorta dragging.

This supernatural suspense is on sale for the Kindle today. Sounds perfect for October!

This was was just ok for me. I kept putting it down to read other things. Maybe the mood was a little too melancholy or just too many ghosts and not enough living characters, but it was entertaining but fell a bit flat. #24b4monday

I really enjoyed this Gothic-inspired mystery/ghost/love story! The plot contains some genuine surprises and the characters feel real and complicated. I love the set up, premise and the setting! I think this would be a lot of fun for book clubs because I definitely want to talk about this one!! My only complaint? I didn‘t want it to end!! #NetGalley

A nearly perfect read: a snaky plot, thorny characters nesteld in compelling narrative & resonant themes. All love stories are ghost stories, we'll read more than once in this book, but this novel is an imagining of the life of a literary genius touched with the insistent naming of the woman behind such a figure. It's tortured emotions stretched taut to the point of madness and deft, quiet moments of revelation that hummed in the heart.

What are you reading this weekend?

This & other new/upcoming #historicalfiction recommended for book clubs by Kate Quinn on BookBub! https://www.bookbub.com/blog/2019/01/25/kate-quinn-books-editorial-blurbs

One of the best things about being an author is getting to read upcoming books in advance & say nice things about the ones I enjoy. Just made this blurb official today: "THE LOST HISTORY OF DREAMS is a dark, shimmering gem of a novel, glittering with love lost, secrets kept, and long-buried truths revealed. Wonder, memory, death and passion haunt every page of Kris Waldherr's powerhouse Gothic debut."
