Welcome to Litsy!

We made it to Friday! I‘m so ready to get home and dive into The Woman in Black. I‘m planning my perfect October evening in, complete with pancakes and maple pecan coffee. I‘m going to read until I get tired and then I‘m going to watch a spooky movie. And that sounds like heaven to me. What does your perfect October evening look like?

It‘s 4.30am Monday here & I‘ve finally finished this book of gothic ghost stories. I quite enjoyed the title story, I much preferred it to the movie with Daniel Radcliffe. It had a creeping sense of dread instead of the in your face scare that the movie had. “Dolly” was very strange, I‘m not sure if I liked it or not, “The Man In The Picture” had a very Dorian Grey feel & The Small Hand was creepy.4⭐️ #HSreadathon #24B4Monday #SummersEndReadathon

Yay!! I went past the 24hr mark without realizing it. I‘m about halfway through this book and I‘ll keep going till midnight which is 40 mins away. I‘m so happy with my times and that I‘ve read almost 4 books in a 3 day period. I‘ll post again at midnight with a full summing up, for now it‘s more reading! #HSreadathon #SummersEndReadathon #24B4Monday

I‘m baaaack! It‘s 3.30pm Sunday here in Sydney and its a beautiful winters day outside, more like Spring weather really. I have to go to my daughters for dinner soon, of course my books are coming with me(duh😜)I‘m very confident of hitting 24hrs by midnight tonight. I got this! #HSreadathon #SummersEndReadathon #24B4Monday

It‘s 6.15am Sunday morning here in Sydney & I‘m calling it quits to go to bed for awhile. I‘ve almost finished the title story but my eyes keep sliding shut, so the last 50 pages will have to wait till later. Keeping a good time as well, hopefully I‘ll finish at least 4 books in 24hrs. Soon as the chamomile & honey tea is finished, it‘s night night from me!😴 #HSreadathon #24B4Monday #SummersEndReadathon

Diving straight into Bk4 which is more ghost stories from Susan Hill. Guess I‘m in the mood to be frightened!👻This Collection starts with her most famous haunting story, The Woman In Black & also has The Small Hand, The Man In The Picture, Dolly & Printers Devil Court(which I‘ve already read). Here‘s to being scared silly! #HSreadathon #SummersEndReadathon #24B4Monday

#BookMail Pt3 I‘m s huge sucker for ghost stories, especially English Victorian ones. One of the first books I was given as a child was an anthology of English Tales of the Supernatural so it‘s been pretty much a lifelong obsession. This is the story that the movie is based on plus some other short stories from the same author. All I need now is a thunderstorm, an open fire & some hot chocolate⛈🌬🔥☕️

What a fantastic collection of creepy ghost stories! I‘m not one to scare or get the jeebies easily, but this book did the job. The author really puts you into the story with her descriptive writing. I highly recommend and am very grateful my brilliant #litsypenpal @Litlady sent me this last October! She can really pick them! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️yep those are five stars!

👻 A lesser-known animated film called Witch's Night Out. It's so awful. I love it.
👻 Tootsie rolls, but only the chocolate ones.
👻 I like ghost stories. Susan Hill's The Woman in Black takes the cake.
👻 Candles and lanterns and other such things used for spooky lighting.
👻 Yay!
👻 Double Yay!
👻 Can I have Book from Hocus Pocus? Does that count as a pet?

@JoScho

Holy moley! This all is from my amazing, AMAZING #litsypenpal! Everything wrapped so beautifully with paw print paper too! @Litlady I am blown away!!! You are so thoughtful and wonderful! Thank you so much!!! Btw even though my oldest cat's name is Smartee Pants, he really is named after Smarties. My fav 🍭😸🎃

I love Susan Hill's creepy, old-fashioned ghost stories. This edition includes five novellas: The Woman in Black, Dolly, The Man in the Picture, Printer's Devil Court, and The Small Hand. 👻

#BackToReading

This is a beautiful collection of Susan Hill's ghost stories. It's even signed! I love #bookmail 😍📚😍👻👻

It's fine, everyone. I can just sleep with the lights on for the rest of my life. No big deal.

(That being said, I've been excited to read this ever since seeing the AMAZING play that's based on it in London)
