The Haunting of Velkwood | Gwendolyn Kiste
post image
Pickpick

This was a unique ghost story about a haunted street named after the first residents, Talitha Velkwood and her family.
One night, the whole neighborhood just vanished. The only survivors were three of the girls who were away at college. Now, a research group and Talitha are going back 👻

A more feminist version of “Goodnight Mister Tom“ with a pony instead of a dog. A book that crashed me in the best way possible. I barely managed to read the first chapter, but I had tears in my eyes when I saw how Ada and Jamie grew. And not only them, but also Susan. How this family grows stronger and stronger, and proves that family is not only made by blood. Highly recommend, especially now.

AkashaVampie glad u loved it. Question..... if it wasn't a #BookishMonopoly pick, would u have read it? 1d
Nebklvr I have recommended this to so many adults and they all loved it. 1d
Jari-chan @AkashaVampie It was a mix between your #BookishMonopoly and the Blind Date with a Book our library hosted. But your game already made me read books I wouldn't have picked up otherwise ❤️🫶 21h

My next move on #bookishmonopoly led me to our library, which was perfect because they organised a Blind Book Date for Valentine's day 💖

I had to choose between two books and ended up with The War That Saved My Life. Not a book I had chosen without this.

Now I need your help, Littens. I want to find out what book the other one would've been. The card said: Words are worth their weight in silver in this historical fantasy book. The industrial⬇️

Jari-chan Revolution & colonialism merge with the power of languages to create a brilliant and powerful story." It sounds like Babel by RF Kuang ? @AkashaVampie 2w
Dilara @Jari-chan It definitely does! 2w
Jari-chan @Dilara Thanks for the backup 😁 I have a bet going with my librarian friend that I'll find out which book it is 😁 2w

AkashaVampie I wouldn't know if it is Babel. I haven't read it yet 2w
Jari-chan @AkashaVampie I can't think of anything else so far. So we'll see. Do you plan on reading it? 2w
AkashaVampie @Jari-chan I honestly don't know. I know everyone was reading it when it came out. I might give it a try one day. 2w
Jari-chan @AkashaVampie It was the same for me. But now that I was so intrigued when I had the wrapped book in my hands, I might really need to read it... 2w
Jari-chan @Dilara @AkashaVampie It SO was Babel. And my librarian friend was pretty impressed 😆 1w
Dilara @Jari-chan 🎉 💯 🎊 1w

KAO Fabulous! I‘d love to go there someday! A few years ago I went to Abbotsford, the home of Sir Walter Scott, while I was visiting a friend in Scotland. In anticipation of that tour, I read Ivanhoe for the first time. Great memories! 3w

Loved this story of young love, angst, and the search for acceptance ❤️

The alternating narrators were great.

The story took an unexpected turn near the end when they found out who Eleanor's bully is.

Butterfinger Loved this book. 3w
Suet624 I enjoyed this too. 3w
