I wish that as a child there had been a book like this. This book was definitely up my loving the supernatural type of stories. Lora Senf can write like the best of them! This book is up there with The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. I recommend reading this with your child or recommending it to the purchasing librarian at your local Library, I know I will! I've got a few kids who wander the stacks looking for books like The Clackity.

I'm taking my just turned 9 year old to Barnes and Noble today to spend the birthday $ he got from the grands, and as luck would have it my IRS refund hit the bank today. So I need all the recommendations. Prefer mysteries and sci-fi and travel memoirs. I love long series I can really sink my teeth into. Don't care for romance or domestic thrillers, but I'm pretty open to anything else. Hit me up with everything you love!

lil1inblue Random thoughts:
Mystery: The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley
Sci-Fi: The Broken Earth trilogy by NK Jemisin
Travel: I actually can't think of anything here. But for some reason I keep thinking of Terry Tempest Williams - she writes a lot about nature and does so beautifully!

vivastory Mystery: ABC Murders or Crooked House (Agatha Christie)/
Sci-Fi: Lathe Of Heaven (Ursula K. Le Guin) Wild Seed (Octavia Butler)
I haven't read this one, but I have heard great things about Barry Lopez's travel book “Arctic Dreams“ Not sure if this would classify as travel memoir, but I absolutely loved Douglas Preston's account of trying to find a lost civilization with the help of many others in 2012 “The Lost City of the Monkey God“

Ruthiella I‘m not sure what you have already read, but thinking of long series: Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne or Dresden File by Jim Butcher- both urban fantasy and Amelia Peabody series by Elizabeth Peters - mystery, romance, adventure, historical. 2mo
PuddleJumper The Kate Sugak series by Dana Stabenow is a long mystery/crime series set in Alaska. Very easy reading. 2mo

Full of heart, humor, twists, turns, and relatable questions about what (and whom) we believe. Young CJ‘s mom died shortly after CJ was born a moving story about faith, family, and loss.

This was a spooky, fun, middle grade horror book that had me smiling to myself and turning the pages. Evie is a delight, her Aunt is the sweetest of witches, and the friends she meets on her adventures are special and wise. So happy I stumbled upon this one for the #BookRiotchallenge . #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

A wonderfully spooky & atmospheric middle-grade novel, which reminded me a lot of Coraline with its adventures, ghosts, places, and creatures set in another “parallel“ world. Two thumbs up!

“There was no shortage of otherworldly concerns in Blight Harbor, mainly because it was the seventh most haunted town in America (per capita).“
