This book was WAY too similar to The Winter People. Read this for book club and was disappointed.

It seems a bit wrong to choose a reread as my favorite book of the month, but I didn‘t read any new books that rose to the level of consideration. And there‘s a reason I reread it!
Yes, there are two blank spaces where the next tier up should go. It‘s hard to make decisions 😅

The tagged book was my favorite read of October. I read a lot of books and most were mediocre unfortunately.
Hopefully November will be better.

Sort-of a mixed bag for me. I think Harrow did the “sentient house” bit exactly right. I loved the message about how dreaming seems like a luxury but is, in fact, a necessity. The characters are loyal & self-sacrificing to a heartbreaking degree; it‘s almost painful to watch them finally start to trust & nourish themselves. However, the story is overlong. The romance, which isn‘t silly, is sometimes made silly by Harrow‘s choice of language.👇🏻
Happy Halloween Eve! 🧡🎃🧡
I'm starting this today, and I'm really really excited about it! I love all of Josh Malerman's other books, so I have high hopes for this one! Apparently, two of my co-workers couldn't finish this because they thought it was too scary! 😱
@inthegreensandblues Wow, what a great #allhollowsreadswap box you sent! That card went on my mantle immediately after I took the photo. :-) And Jelly Bellies---I need to hide those before my kid gets home from school! Very excited for the books, too!
Thanks for hosting, @MaleficentBookDragon ! #ahrs24
