Welcome to Litsy!

Ughhhh. This had so much potential. Talitha Velkwood still reeling from a tragic event 20 yrs ago gets an offer to go back to her haunted street she left. That piece of haunted street that exists in its own reality separate from our own. One only Talitha and 2 other girls can enter. It could have used more characterization, I‘m not a fan of going back and forth between places where nothing really happens or gets moved forward. I did like her 👇🏼

We do not care that we already have a bunch of cute tumblers, we do NEED to have this Haunted Mansion one. 😍☕️

If you liked The Book of Lost Things or A Monster Calls, I think you would really love this story about a young boy who moves to Brighton with his mother and new stepfather. Made me cry.

Merry Christmas in July! On this day, Will Smith defended Earth against alien invasion.

To celebrate, we will be watching all of our favorite holiday movies, reading Victorian ghost stories, & making iced horchata hot chocolate while eating an absolutely ridiculous feast of all our favorite foods.

I also highly recommend this series of ghost stories 👻 it‘s become one of our traditions to read one aloud before bed 🎄 they make great gifts, too!

Just a stunning beautiful picture book about a ghost who feels left out because he wears a quilt while all the other ghosts have the white sheets. However, throughout the book he finds out that his uniqueness is not so bad. Love the story and the artwork.

It's telling that one of the oldest books in the world contains so many of the themes that continue being repeated in fiction right through today. Stories, after all, were overheard by man from the gods and quickly spread like a virus, marking the beginning of the age we still live in. Stories invade us, weave themselves into the fabric of our beings, until its hard to know where "we" end and the stories begin. Sophie says, "Whoa!"

At first, I hesitated when I saw this book, because I don‘t like romance. But I saw a good review here, took a second look, and decided to check it out. I loved this book! I would love to see it adapted onto the big screen. Full of dark humor, this is a lighthearted story about grief, family relationships, and death. What would you do when you‘re a ghost writer, and the ghost of your editor suddenly shows up at your door when you‘re⬇️

This is exhausting. All of it. Pretending to be okay while the world changes around you and leaves you behind to sit with whatever loss you found.

Meh. I'm sad as Kelley Armstrong is an auto buy author for me. This was super predictable and underwhelming.

Unfortunately on to my "DNF" list this one goes. I made it almost half through and just never got into the story. For me it had a good beginning and then just seemed all muddled up in a way by the middle. Like the story just lost it's direction and momentum that it started with.
