Welcome to Litsy!

I don‘t know what‘s going on with me these days… but this is another miss for me. It just… definitely wasn‘t for me. I didn‘t really love how it started, how it middled, or how it ended. 🤷‍♀️ There‘s a good piece there… felt like some potential. But… kinda fell flat for me.

“The dead pull the living down.”

I absolutely adored this book! Such a tender story about grief and family expectations, finding your place in life and love. I enjoyed learning more about Jewish customs surrounding death & funerals. As much as I was rooting for the romance between Ezra and Jonathan, I was also totally invested in the Friedman family's journey with forgiveness. While Ezra can see ghosts, this is less of a ghost story and more a contemplation of healing after death

Twenty-five scary stays where ghosts check in, but don‘t check out.

This was interesting. Historical backgrounds and paranormal accounts of different hotels around the world.

It almost never happens - actually, I can't think of a series I ever did that - that I go and read the next volume immediately after finishing the first book. But here? I really did not want to part from Nigel and Oscar. It felt like we didn't have enough time together, so I went and got volume two. And love that one too. There's just everything in it I love and need right now. So why wait?

I read this graphic novel every Halloween when I‘m waiting for trick or treaters. It has great illustrations and touches on Halloween and other holidays and family issues and grief. But it does it all in a natural and fun way.

I always try to cram at least one nonfiction piece each October, and this one kept with that tradition. This is about Danny Robins, a British comedian and broadcaster, and his research into the paranormal. I listened to a few episodes of his podcast last year and thought I‘d try his book. Will he change your opinion on ghosts and the supernatural? No. But he‘s charming and his enthusiasm on the subject is infectious!

Happy Halloween 🎃👻🎃👻🎃👻

Oooh thank you so much @MommyOfTwo for this fabulous #AllHallowsReadSwap package! How cute are those little bows?! I am definitely going to save the fabric to use again! I have actually not read any of Joe Hill‘s novels yet, although I did read his story collection Twentieth Century Ghosts and enjoyed it. And I am a big fan of Werthers Originals, thank you! The soap is so cool also, looking forward to trying it.
Happy Halloween! 🤎🧡💜🖤
