repost for @PuddleJumper

A party at an abandoned and probably haunted house has gone terribly wrong. Now you are on the run from a masked killer or a murderous spectre, you aren‘t sure what! You aren‘t cut out for this! After running, hiding and screaming, you find yourself in a well stocked library. You are #TrappedinaSpookyHouse

Sign-ups close Monday 15th September 1pm BST

Posting my fifth and final #trappedinaspookyhouse review just in time for #snowedin, haha.

This was fun and I enjoyed it, but somehow it felt a little flimsy to me. The gimmicks and wordplay were great and the worldbuilding was very creative, but the plot and particularly the love story needed a little more polishing. Maybe the later books in the series do better with this? Let me know. Anyway I‘m glad I read it; it‘s been on my TBR for years.

#trappedinaspookyhouse

Been putting off my review of this one because I don‘t quite know what to say. It was good; I enjoyed it. Thought-provoking and left me wondering if I‘d missed some of the symbolism (no, actually - I‘m *sure* I missed some). I liked the idea of the strange world “Piranesi” inhabits and the book does a good job of contrasting the motives of the different characters who come to see him there.

Bookwomble I don't want to *spoiler* so haven't tagged it, but do you know the book that Piranasi references? 10mo
CSeydel @Bookwomble I know the one that‘s in the epigraph, if that‘s the one you mean. There are a lot of references among the statues and so on, of course (edited) 10mo
Bookwomble Yes, that's the one I was thinking of. I'd forgotten it was in the epigraph, so I'll hang up my deerstalker hat and put away my meerschaum pipe! 😄 10mo

Lesliereadsalot I loved this one! But you can skip her new little 60 page fantasy story. 10mo
CSeydel @Lesliereadsalot oh, was it not good? 10mo
CSeydel @Bookwomble hahaha, well, even though it was in the epigraph, there were definitely some Easter eggs in the story that a reader might miss if she hadn‘t read that other book in, oh, 30 years or so. In fact, I pulled it out to re-read when I finished Piranesi! 10mo
Lesliereadsalot Mostly illustrations and a beautiful cover. You can read it standing up in the bookstore. 10mo

Opening this kobo read while enjoying a final cozy evening on the back deck, we winterize it💨🥶 I‘m already sad🥺with the sense of loss, even though it‘s only for a few months.

Sheriff Titus has his hands full with an anticipated march in support of a statue honoring a Confederate hero and likely counter protesters organized by a black preacher, when a bloodthirsty serial killer‘s evil deeds are discovered following a school shooting of everyone‘s favorite teacher. No simple solution to find the killer, and things get pretty twisted and bloody very quickly. And yet there are the most endearing moments between Titus & ⬇️

Texreader his dad. Cosby is a stellar author. I‘m so happy @authoramonth introduced him to me. @Soubhiville #trappedinaspookyhouse @CSeydel
