Here is my list for March.
I finished all 4 of my books from February's list which is amazing for me. I couldn't believe I actually did it. I'm hoping that March is similar.
pickCollege student jillian arrives at a seaside village to collect her ghost hunting uncle's belongings after he falls from a cliff to his death but finds herself doing some ghost hunting of her own with the help of a Scotland yard detective.
Set in 1920's England, a ghost with an intriguing backstory, mystery, light on the romance and dark, stormy ambiance of the fishing village all ties together for a perfect ⭐⭐⭐⭐ read
Getting more snow and ice soon, so needing some isolation stories. This and, possibly, The Worst Journey in the World.
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!

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.
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. ⬇️

I adored the movie as a teenager. The dialogue of the saucy sea captain was a delight to read, as was the relationship that develops between Mrs. Muir and her captain ghost. The movie followed the book fairly well and is a quick read at < 200 pages. If you love an impossible romance, this one more than suffices. Yet, I might prefer the 1947 movie just a bit over the book--probably because of #sexyrexy. 😀
