pickIn this engrossing story of profound grief and supernatural visitations, Constance turns to a spiritualist to assuage her mother's overwhelming despair after her younger sister dies. When she subsequently learns of a mysterious bequest, Constance feels compelled to uncover the truth about a mystery at its heart. The author deftly portrays the novel's Victorian setting as well as the desperation and despair of a woman trapped by her circumstances.
I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.

so-soWhile the book is titled The Seance there is in fact very little when it comes to the paranormal. There are a few ghosts here and there but it is mainly a mystery set in the Victorian era. The characters and the story were well written. It was a beautiful Victorian Gothic setting that you could fall into. However, the story line just never ramped up like I thought it would. It was an ok read.

I'm just under 1/3 done reading the Seance. I'm hoping to get to finish it sometime later this week - but that really just depends on time. I don't dislike the book but I don't like it yet either. Hoping it picks up as I get further along in the read as it just seems to be an ok read as of right now.

Reading outside my preferred genre for a change and really enjoying this book! About a third of the way through right now and would definitely recommend it.

pickOverall more of a So-so. But for when you're looking for something like this, it turned out pretty good. The story is told through journal entries, letters, & includes a genealogy chart - this rings lots of my bells 😊 If you want to sit with a story set in the ruins of an estate at the turn of the 20th century, you'll be happy with this pick📚
I've been so busy this month that my spooky reading has been scarce 😢. I'm trying to sneak in 2 more. This one was slow going at first. But the haunted house bequeathed by an unknown relative just came on the scene 😱. So this one might get done tonight.

pickBook 3 of Booktubeathon (challenge: read a book only after sunset). Another ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for me (I've been having a good reading month!) Gothic mystery, Victorian era, spiritualism and seances, murder, family drama and a creepy old house - what's not to love?
