Welcome to Litsy!

Another couple readathons that ended yesterday. I loved #FortnightFrights! It had great prompts. I wish I‘d been able to finish them all. 👻

Imagine being a supernatural of the vampire, witch or demon variety, and having people telling you what to do, always. I can't imagine vampires would want to live forever with this sort of bureaucratic bullshit dominating their lives. I listened to the audiobook. The narrator was adept at the various accents but the weird way she drags out her "twooo"s grates. A book this large would benefit from having a second narrator of the male variety. ⬇️

Final Daily Point update. This includes the week 4 game (32 comments) and Watching Twitches 2, Goosebumps 2, and Halloweentown. +1,255 #TeamHarkness #Scarathlon2020 #Screamathon2020 #Bookspinbingo #Trickortreadathon #thrilloween #gothtober #Rockyhorrorathon #AnUnfoetunateReadathon #TrickorTreatathon #supernaturalathon #bookishbingo #creaturefeatureathon #fortnightfrights #littenlisten #VotedEarlyreadathon

"If you need this book, it is for you"

This. Book.

This memoir both hits home and is completely eye opening. It's a heartbreaking account of first love, self discovery and same-sex domestic abuse. What really got me was the unique writing style and prose. Written in both first and second person POV with poetry and even a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure chapter, this was interesting and so powerful to read.

Highly, highly recommend!

My Stats for Friday 30th October (plus a bit past midnight as I couldn‘t sleep) 13 hours and two books. #Slaughterthon #FortnightFrights #StrangeAthon #Booathon 520pts + 1pt #Scarathlon2020 #TeamSlaughter

Not quite what I was expecting, but really freaking beautiful! One of those slow burns with an intricate story and a touch of gothic atmosphere. A perfect fall read. 🐉🧡

I also listened to her kind of feminist manifesto Essex Girls. So good! 💚💚💚

Today my cell service has been atrocious, so I‘m just now getting to post yesterday‘s point update. I read for 9 hours and watched Sleepy Hollow, a Halloween fave. +776 #TeamHarkness #Scarathlon2020 #Screamathon2020 #TrickorTreadathon #ReadLikeHellathon #FortnightFrights #Gothtober #RockyHorrorathon #BookSpinBingo #BookishBingo #Spookitupanotch #VotedEarlyReadathon #LittenListen #CreatureFeatureathon

The October #ThatsClassic pick. Some of the book feels repetitive, but still a good early gothic horror. Perhaps it's knowledge of how it all pans out, but it didn't feel very suspenseful. As others mentioned before, it's not exactly a female friendly world we're viewing but that's how women were regarded in the 1890s. Thanks for the push to reread it 25 years later @Annie1215
