so-soBook #4 of 2025: “Scary Stories 3”
Natalie moved out a couple weeks ago and left behind some absolute treasures so I took a short trip down Scholastic memory lane ❤️ What classics.
so-soI got this from my book club‘s mystery Christmas book exchange. It was an OK read but I felt the writing had a tendency to be too repetitive, and some of the events felt too obviously like plot devices. Maybe I‘m just too cynical for ghost stories!

Ch 36: I really thought that story about the guy beating his wife was going to take a dark turn 🤣 #heranintomyknife #heranintomyknifetentimes #anyway #thedarksideofcandleford #theycouldgetawholeseasonoutofthisonechapter #tragedies #rampantgossip #poachers #susieandsammy #shameonhim #badasssusieshowedhim #saythattentimesfast #elizavsoldjames #evilvalentines #ghoststories #lilycouldseeall #hashtagbrigade
pickI bailed on this one. It might just be me but I thought it was kind of boring. I tried print and audio and found myself not picking it up in either format.
pickArthur 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 😊
pickIn 1935, five men set off to follow in the ill-fated footsteps of the 1905 expedition up Kangchenjunga. Little do they know the mountain is hiding a dark secret. I like historical and psychological horror but this one was a soft pick. There was just so many opportunities to make this story truly horrifying, disturbing, and unsettling but Paver chose to take a safer route. I‘m hoping her other book Dark Matter will make me afraid of the dark.
Starting next for the #TwinPeaksReadingChallenge

pickJane Flanagan returns home to Maine to lick her wounds after steamrolling her life and career while under the influence. There she reckons with her mom‘s recent death, her family‘s legacy of alcoholism, and the unexpected history of a house she “adopted” as a teen. There is a lot going on in this book between Jane‘s story, diversions into indigenous history, and first person deep dives into historical characters with connections to the house. ⬇️
