Welcome to Litsy!

#ThreeListThursday #TLT @dabbe

To kick off October, how about sharing your three favorite scary novels? You can comment below or create your own post. If you also would mind rating your choice with scare emojis (a 1 😱 to 5 😱😱😱😱😱 scale should work), that would be fabulous. Then, I'll create a list, and we can than vote on the scariest novels: old, new, or in-between! All are welcome to play. Let's have some much-needed fun! 🧡💜🧡

This was a reread for me and I enjoyed it more the second time. Opal lives in the small town of Edan, where she spends her time working, taking care of her brother, and obsessing over Starling House. Then she gets hired as a housekeeper and things get weird 🐦‍⬛

I picked this up from the library on Saturday, intending to read it in October. I've done nothing but read it since. I can not put it down. It's even better than Fingersmith. There, I said it.

Snagged these 2 deals this week on Bookshop. #weekendplans

Well, as of yesterday, I finally caught up on posting reviews for all the things I read in the months I hadn't been posting!

Now, pictured above are all the books I read over the last two weeks or so while I've been playing catch up.

I'll be posting my reviews of them soon, just at a more sedate pace. 😆

I'm not usually into books about haunted houses but I thought I'd try this one. I really liked it. No subtle build up here, the ghosts are part of life right from the go. I wouldn't say it was scary, definitely some gore and violence. Parts were predictable, but the ending was satisfying. A fun read!

Loved this read that is perfect for the beginning of spooky season. A haunted Victorian house with ghosts that you will love and hate. Margaret believes she can follow the rules to survive. Past happenings resurface that entwine with Margaret‘s “haunted” life. 👻👻👻👻

⭐️⭐️⭐️ - I heard about this book through a Facebook group. So I looked it up on Goodreads and the description sounded different, not like any other book I read before so I contacted my local library to request it. When I started reading it, I didn‘t know it was going to be from a child POV. The fact it was from a childs POV made it a little bit creepier. It had its moments where I was on the edge of my seat and then moments I was a bit bored.

This book! I don‘t know where to begin. This is certainly not your typical haunted house tale. And I really didn‘t expect to laugh hysterically at the end. That being said, this is not at all a funny book. It‘s horrifying and gory and bloody and mystifying. Unreliable narrator is an understatement and actually does the narrator a disservice. You‘ll have to read it to find out for yourself what is real and what is reality

#RIP begins in September and #SciFiSummer doesn't end until the 20th. I'm also moving towards the end of the month, so this month's #BookSpin list is a mix of Horror and Science Fiction ebooks from my TBR and library books I have checked out.
