The Turn of the Screw | Henry James

so-so

While I liked the story as a whole, all of the characters felt one dimensional, and unbearable!

The governess spends the book alternately crying/sobbing at her new friend (the only other member of the staff we have named for the majority of the book) and massively obsessing over “perfect” children she has just met. While I understand it is a classic, it didn‘t really do as much as I hoped. I much prefer the Haunting of Bly Manor tv adaptation!

Bookworm54 This included 65 wordsearch words (the ebook search tool is handy!) as well as being a theme read :) I will need to come back and tag readathons once I decide on the squares! #Scarathlon2022 #TeamMonsterMash 2y

This House is Haunted | John Boyne

Wow! I would NEVER guess this is a novel by John Boyne, but boy is it fantastic🙌🏻 A gothic tale, London 1867- a governess is hired to watch two young children whose parents (and prior governesses) have befallen tragic accidents. CREEPY (the good kind😁)#AAM @Soubhiville #Hoopla Excellent narration 🙌🏻🎧♥️

marleed John Boyne has an incredible ability to write stories that differ drastically from his others. It makes it so intriguing to read his works. I think Amor Towles is like that too. In contrast I like to read John Grisham books but when I look at my JG stack, I can‘t separate the individual stories because they all blend together. 3y

TrishB I have this on the pile too! 3y

Cinfhen So true about Grisham @marleed !! I just finished a book yesterday by him & even though it‘s not a legal thriller, it was VERY much a Grisham book. It was GREAT ( BTW)

BarbaraBB I‘ve got a copy of this one too. Glad you loved it! 3y

Addison_Reads This was my #AuthorAMonth book and I loved it too. It has such a great gothic feel and what an ending. 😱 3y

Cinfhen Maybe it was your review that put this on my #ReadersRadar @Addison_Reads It reminded me of Rebecca by Du Maurier 3y

Soubhiville I think I‘ll try to find a copy to read in October for #somethingspooky. 😊📚 3y

Cinfhen Definitely perfect for #SomethingSpooky @Soubhiville (edited) 3y

We Have Always Lived in the Castle (Deluxe) | Shirley Jackson

pick

Merricat and her sister Constance live a quiet, idyllic life with their infirm uncle Julian in a stately mansion at the edge of a village, which they tend to avoid as everyone shuns and hates them. Well maybe it‘s because six years ago the sisters‘ parents, brother, and aunt died of arsenic poisoning. I absolutely loved this gothic mystery that creeps up on the reader as slowly and stealthily as a cat on the prowl. Charming and subversive. 🖤☠️

alysonimagines And my ebook copy doesn‘t have a full-size image of the cover, so I designed a fake cover as a stand-in. It was a real chore for graphic design geek me. Not. 😉 (edited) 5y
