#LaughterHP you've found yourself in a desolate cabin far from civilization. It's creepy, it feels like you are being watched and there are ominous sounds

Luckily you find a cosy library with several books you fancy reading. You may be #TrappedinaSpookyHouse but it gives you time to read

@Jadams89 here are your #trappedinaspookyhouse picks! I chose Joyland and Rebecca because I read them and loved them! I picked the other two on the bottom row because the covers are fun. And I picked the other in the top row because the cover is beautiful 🤷🏻‍♀️

A party at an abandoned and probably haunted house has gone terribly wrong. Now you are on the run from a masked killer or a murderous spectre, you aren‘t sure what! You aren‘t cut out for this! After running, hiding and screaming, you find yourself in a well stocked library. You are #TrappedinaSpookyHouse

Posting my fifth and final #trappedinaspookyhouse review just in time for #snowedin, haha.

This was fun and I enjoyed it, but somehow it felt a little flimsy to me. The gimmicks and wordplay were great and the worldbuilding was very creative, but the plot and particularly the love story needed a little more polishing. Maybe the later books in the series do better with this? Let me know. Anyway I‘m glad I read it; it‘s been on my TBR for years.

#trappedinaspookyhouse

Been putting off my review of this one because I don‘t quite know what to say. It was good; I enjoyed it. Thought-provoking and left me wondering if I‘d missed some of the symbolism (no, actually - I‘m *sure* I missed some). I liked the idea of the strange world “Piranesi” inhabits and the book does a good job of contrasting the motives of the different characters who come to see him there.

Bookwomble I don't want to *spoiler* so haven't tagged it, but do you know the book that Piranasi references? 10mo
CSeydel @Bookwomble I know the one that‘s in the epigraph, if that‘s the one you mean. There are a lot of references among the statues and so on, of course (edited) 10mo
Bookwomble Yes, that's the one I was thinking of. I'd forgotten it was in the epigraph, so I'll hang up my deerstalker hat and put away my meerschaum pipe! 😄 10mo

Lesliereadsalot I loved this one! But you can skip her new little 60 page fantasy story. 10mo
CSeydel @Lesliereadsalot oh, was it not good? 10mo
CSeydel @Bookwomble hahaha, well, even though it was in the epigraph, there were definitely some Easter eggs in the story that a reader might miss if she hadn‘t read that other book in, oh, 30 years or so. In fact, I pulled it out to re-read when I finished Piranesi! 10mo
Lesliereadsalot Mostly illustrations and a beautiful cover. You can read it standing up in the bookstore. 10mo
