I know I‘ve already posted my #HauntedShelf TBR but today I thought it was a good idea to put it all on one slide. So here we go. Revamped TBR post.

Sicilian Romance | Ann Radcliffe

Pickpick

(1790) Ear-read during a long drive, this is Radcliffe's second novel and packed full of Gothic tropes: an exotic location (Sicily! Land of hot-blooded lovers!); a large sprawling mansion with decaying disused maybe-haunted rooms where mysterious lights appear; secret passages, family scandals, star-crossed love, and lots of fainting and almost-fainting and bursting into tears. It's a lot of muchness, but it was a welcome traveling companion

Ruthiella I‘ve only read The Mysteries of Udolpho, but the heroine in that one cries and faints in every chapter, it felt like. 😂😭 13mo
swynn @Ruthiella I haven't read Udolpho yet, but ... yeah ... 13mo

3⭐️ this book belongs in the category of “ what in the hell did I just read?”. It was graphic and pretty gory and really gross. But it had the affect the author wanted it to have so there you go. #BookSpin #BookSpinBingo

What cracks me up is I started both these books yesterday. Maybe I have the gift 🔮… lol, but for real these are both pretty good so far. #BookSpinBingo #BookSpin #DoubleSpin

"She could feel the vibrations of his voice in the inside of the ocular orbit as she swabbed. There was heat in his skull, such heat that the first time she had done this, she‘d drawn her fingers out as if burned: compared to the coolness of Edward‘s cracking skin, the soft warmth of his sockets was boiling, the brain-like flesh receptive and giving."
