Whenever I'm having a bad book slump, I turn to graphic novels. I love ghosts and thought the cover of the first book was so wholesome. The story drew me in and I found myself caring about what would happen to Marjorie and Wendell. Eliza was a great addition and her story deeply emotional. However, Marjorie felt flat as a character. There was little to show who she was, why she liked Wendell and Eliza, etc. Overall, great story with a mediocre MC.

I'd still love more depth on Chris and Tina, but just as the first book dug into Nigel's background, this one digs into Oscar, which is a lot of fun too.

I'd forgotten this one doesn't have much about Patricia and what she wants; I'm very curious about that. Looking forward to the third book, which I haven't read before!

I don't usually do seasonal reading, but it's fun to have the reminder/excuse to revisit.

I think this is my final list for #bookspin #doublespin and #HauntedShelf. Heavy on the horror/mystery/dark academia, but Jane needs to stay in there too if I have any hope of finishing my goal for the year. I'm still trying to figure out #HauntedShelf since it's my first time, but it sounds fun!

Greetings littens! I've been away for a while because life has been life-ing. The biggest development has been that I moved a few months ago. The move happened on short notice so the transition took a lot out of me because I did it mostly on my own. I'm living downtown now so I've been spending a lot of time out enjoying what the city has to offer. Pictured is where my books are living until I put new shelves up 🥲

I really enjoyed the audible audio for this book.
I had seen the film and was looking forward to the book, but they made it even more engaging and tense than I anticipated.

The house on the marshes cut away from the quaint farmers town by the tides is a perfect setting for a ghost story. And while there is no over the top ghostly activity it is all the more chilling for it. Especially once we learn the true consequences of the haunting.

My new favourite sweater.

Although this book was published in 1983, Susan Hill wrote it like a true Victorian/Edwardian author would. I checked multiple times because I had trouble believing it was only written 42 years ago. I love the premise of the ghost story, but it took too long to get to the point. Plus, her writing is something to get used to as you‘re reading. The ending was NOT what I expected though. I would still recommend for the overall story.
