⭐️ Where the Forest Meets the Stars - my sister just read this and loved it and it‘s been on my shelf for a couple years now

This was a reread, and sadly not as good as I remembered it (first read when I was about 15 so a lonnnng time ago!) Really not a fan of the pedophilia that was completely romanticised. Did get me a line in #bookspinbingo though for Jan!

And #bookspin list for Feb!

I just finished the tagged book and I‘ve set a new record for books read in January—17! Review to come.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

The premise was interesting, however the beginning of the book was a bit dark and I got a bit bored about a third of the way through. I might read the second volume as the story starts to pick up a little towards the end, but we will see. I did appreciate the author‘s commentary and cultural explanations at the very end as a lot of the references went right over my head.

24/100: four better than last week. 😂 Some of these made me cringe just by looking at the cover (talking to you, LORD JIM)!

Three faves:
JANE EYRE: in my top 5 of all time.
THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE: best ghost story ever written.
THE GREAT GATSBY: loved this since I first read it in high school--I still have my original book with all of my notes inside.

Not sure when or if I can remember a book giving me goosebumps from the creep and fright. 😱 👻 This book was such an unexpected story and I didn‘t know where it was going. It was very well written. I highly recommend…but read it during the day lol 😅😶‍🌫️🫢 I also recommend her other book Hunted, it‘s a totally different story. 🥰👣👀

Arthur Kipps is sent to a remote village to settle a client‘s affairs after she has died. There is a “woman in black“ who haunts the deceased clients house and area. This is beautifully written, one of the best ghost stories I have ever read. Overall- exceptionally good read. ⬇️

Make a great day everyone 😊

The search for the killer of Jenny, the resident ghost murdered 10 years ago, takes Jackaby and Abby to new and scary depths. In undertaking the task, they learn that something evil has been collecting the best scientists of their time (late 1800s) to build the future—without humans. Ending in a cliffhanger, be prepared to read the last book in the series as soon as this one‘s finished. #serieslove @TheSpineView @Andrew65 #litsyatoz #letterG

I‘m finishing this series, the third book ending in quite a cliffhanger. #serieslove @TheSpineView @Andrew65 #litsyatoz #letterD
