pickI have this marked as read on Goodreads, but I remember absolutely nothing about it, so I‘ve been rereading it. Wow, it‘s a trip. I must have marked it as read by mistake, I don‘t think I could forget this! I am enjoying the audiobook immensely.
About half way into this book and struggling to get through it. I guess ghosts and secret societies are not my thing. I'm going to see how much I get through this weekend and then make a call on continuing. I just can't seem to get into it and couldn't care less about what happens to the characters for some reason. I think if I don't finish I might try at a later date because maybe it's just my current reading mood.
pickMagic at Yale! Alex, a druggie who barely survived a murderous rampage, is recruited to go to Yale so that during her spare time she can go undercover at the Ninth House—Lethe. Not because she‘s brilliant but because of her unique ability to see ghosts. Lethe helps the other 8 houses during their ritual magic ceremonies by keeping ghosts at bay, from interfering with the magic. But Alex is a girl from the streets so she approaches her job quite ⬇️
“By the time Alex managed to get the blood out of her good wool coat, it was too warm to wear it.”

Reading this for #authoramonth @Soubhiville
Spring weather is finally here!! This evening I'm starting Ninth House for #authoramonth while I munch on some aged cheddar cheese on baguette with a side of olives. I'm not really sure if I'll like this book - horror just isn't for me - but I'm going to give it a try.
Thank you @Soubhiville and the #AuthorAMonth readers for introducing me to Leigh Bardugo!
Smart and a little sassy. Dark subjects, dark magic, dark humor. A fun and fast-paced read.

•This book explores the nature of sociopathy and the moral complexities surrounding the act of killing. It challenges your understanding of sociopaths and their motivations, asking provocative questions about justification and morality. But it does it entertainingly, putting a unique spin on a typical thriller and it leaves you plenty to contemplate.
•Allyson Ryan‘s narration was very well done…she really made this character come to life.
pickHis story was sad. I‘m glad I listened to the audiobook.
#WickedWhispers Day 18: There are a lot of #Evil ghosts in this book, like seriously creepy. Too much exposition for the world-building and too plot driven for my usual fare, but ey its Leigh Bardugo, so will trudge on, hoping it improves towards the end.
