Diavola: A Novel | Marie Thorne, Jennifer

Since these will be the last 2 months I'll probably post them one after another, instead of bi-monthly like I did in the past. And with that out of the way, it's time for #2024bookbracket. Nov. has been my most active month with 14 books in total. A lot of it is due to reading Narnia novels, but also because I was aiming to hit my yearly goal.

Doppoetry The November pick was kind of a no-brainer, I absolutely loved Diavola. Hoping I can get through December picks just as efficiently. 1d

The Woman in Black is a spooky, sad ghost story with an amazing sense of place.

I really loved I Have Always Lived in the Castle, but this one not so much. It was okay.

Incidents Around the House | Josh Malerman

This was just all over the place and inconsistent. I could go the rest of my life without hearing/seeing “other mommy” ever again and it would not be enough.

Incidents Around the House | Josh Malerman

Ok I‘ve officially read two of Malermans books and I disliked both. I can now say I am not a fan of his writing style. This story is told from a child‘s perspective and gets annoying because it‘s repetitive, sometimes you don‘t know if she‘s thinking something or saying it out loud, and best of all the ending sucks. I stepped away from this book thinking what the hell did I just read? The only bonus was it was a quick read. 👎🏼

Ruthiella Fair enough! He‘s not for you. It‘s nice to know of books you are NOT going to read, if you know what I mean. 1w

Bec_lectic @Ruthiella it does help! I had such high hopes because I love horror novels and wanted to give him another chance after reading Daphne but I just can‘t get into his writing style 😕 7d

marleed I‘m always to drawn to read on Litsy when someone dislikes a book I liked. It has me rethinking the book which in turn helps me remember some details in my own reading experience. … I can go to my IRL bookclub thinking I liked the month‘s selection. Then some members speak to why they so passionately disliked the book, and then I‘m like - yeah, what she said. Such a fickle reader am I! 7d

Bec_lectic @marleed so true! It‘s amazing sometimes how ones opinion or thoughts can so easily change yours! 5d

Alright @MaleficentBookDragon this was an amazing book that had me hooked from start to finish. The way the story flips back and forth from real time events then to the Book the main characters father wrote is intriguing. And until the very last page your mind is spinning putting the pieces together. This is a 10/10 read where nothing is as it seems.

MaleficentBookDragon I‘m glad you liked it. Sager is a must buy for me when his books are released even though he can be hit or miss for me. I either love them or dislike them. This one I really liked. My favorite is still

Craven Manor | Darcy Coates

pick

I‘ve read a few books by Darcy Coates, and I absolutely love her spooky mansion and ghost stories. Craven Manor was different from her other books I‘ve read. It had a strong emotional theme that made me care about the characters and what happened to them. 👻
