Welcome to Litsy!

I didn‘t read much last year but my favorite thing was #ReadSpooky2022 and having a list to fall back on. So I‘m doing it again, this time with prompts. #ReadSpooky2023

It‘s also on Storygraph as a challenge if anyone wants to join:

Well written - tense, dark , hopeful - the world is experiencing a pandemic of violence (children killing family, adults sabotaging companies) and Hesketh is one of the people asked to work on a solution - his stepson Freddy K becomes “infected“ - it is about love, friendship, effect of rapid growth on the planet - so many things - Be warned: there is no Scooby Doo ending - (which I loved)

Perfectly written story. There was a tension throughout the story (what will happen next) and a creepiness, not scary but creepy - Merricat and Constance and Uncle are a family that loves one another but must work around each others psychological issues (see below for the rest)

-A story about best friends and possession- the 80s references and layout of the book (song titles, yearbook) takes you to a definite time and place, strengthening the story - it is about possession, friendship, love - it is funny, gory, scary, and touching - really good read - (growing up in the 80s did contribute to my complete enjoyment of this book but it's not a requirement to enjoy it)

Make a great day everyone 🙂

I enjoyed the concept and delivery - a man from the 1500s must capture the hollow ones (evil that inhabits humans as hosts to create chaos/death) - and two FBI agents help along the way (one in the 1960s and one present day) -
#JubilantJuly hours read about 15/20

Another #BookSpinBingo book (and vacation was so packed with activity with family that it was worth not getting in many reading hours).
Make a great day everyone 🌞

chose this light read for #ReadSpooky2022 June @teebe - it was fine, not my favorite goosebumps 🙂
#BookMoods @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Prompt: became a movie

1. Get on Litsy first thing in the morning and it fills me with positive energy -
2. Yes I do read at bedtime
3. I like quiet but some noise will not keep me from sleeping
Make a great day everyone - 🌞

I read this for #ReadSpooky2022 @teebe because Byatt is this month's author and I could not find any of her scary books at the library - this is well written just not a topic I am interested in - though I learned a lot -

Make it a great day for someone else today -

This was a pretty decent gothic tale; creepy and atmospheric. I like how the story unfolded along three different timelines. #ReadSpooky2022

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I enjoyed this creepy story - I am surprised it is a children's book - as much as I like horror and creepy stories I think this would have been too much for me as a young child.
Finished for the April prompt of #ReadSpooky2022 @teebe
And another book finished for #MarvellousMay @Andrew65

Thanks for the tag @Eggs I have a garden - some flowers, tomatoes, peppers, stevia, mint - 🌻
Make a great day everyone - 🌞

So glad I finally read this! It‘s very different from the movie, which I knew going in, but still. I like both a lot! Also, special thanks to Mr. Gaiman for officially pulling me out of my slump. #ReadSpooky2022 @teebe
