so-so⭐️⭐️I wanted to like it. I almost liked it. Very meh! Too much going on and none of it sticks. Overly long and repetitive in many places. I know there‘s a good story in there, I just couldn‘t grab onto it. It was grabbing sand.
I‘ve missed all the awesome Littens whose book recs and lives I got to know for many years. It‘s been about 7 months since I opened Bookish Notions in PA and it‘s going great- the 2 things I want to change are making more time to read and coming back to Litsy. 💗💗 I hope you‘re doing well and I look forward (a LOT!) to being part of the community again! Over the next few days I‘ll post reviews of some of the (very few) books I‘ve read this year.
Grady Hendrix's horror novel, "HOW TO SELL A HAUNTED HOUSE," is officially getting a movie adaptation!
Legendary Entertainment has acquired the rights to develop this bestselling novel into a feature film! ?

pickAwesome retro haunted house book. Perfect way to start the spooky season.
pickWhat a romp! I had to skip over some graphic parts but an overall entertaining read.
My #autumncomfortswap package was mailed today @thebacklistbook
so-so⭐️⭐️⭐️ not anything spectacular, either in the spooks or the mystery. Writing was all right
pickThis book was insane, I actually dropped it as I physically reacted to a scene of horror. (Which never happens)
The characters are extremely unlikable and its a bit over the top, but damn if it didn't get me caught up in a story and entertained by where it went.
It's not a castle per se, but it's castle-like enough! One of my favorite openings for a book EVER!
“No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood for eighty years and might stand for eighty more.“ ⬇️
pickSet during a time when Black Americans were empowered to correct centuries of wrongs, This Cursed House is as much about empowerment and self-discovery as it is about the ugliest form of intra-race hatred—colorism. Featuring a host of fair-skinned antagonists too shallow to realize segregation begins at home, it offers a glimpse into why the South is as gothic and horrific as the intergenerational trauma it breeds.
Best described as social commentary disguised as fiction, readers experiencing personal and cultural disruption will find themselves fiercely grounded in place.
