This is a solid cosy paranormal mystery/romance. It was well written and well paced and the characters weren't obnoxious.

The talking ghost cat was the best character.

I'm so excited!!!! Airing Thursday 12th October

I've found these god awful Hallmark mysteries on Amazon Prime. I've been watching them as I cook because they require no brain cells and exist in a parallel universe where nothing was published since Agatha Christie and no one but nerds use the Internet

#scarathlon #mischiefandmayhem

I made a bingo board for my #scarathlon bucket list because reasons!

This read like an outline more than anything. There wasn‘t much detail or character development. I found it quite an impersonal and soulless read.

October #bookspinbingo

I've got several selection from #trappedinaspookyhouse picked by @Larkken and then a nice mix of paranormal, mystery, and monster romances

This book didn't know what it was or what it wanted to focus on. Was it a paranormal romance? Was it a thriller? Was it a cosy mystery? Who knows!

There were a lot of tonal changes which made the book disjointed. It needed to be shorter and the plot tighter. There was a lot of unnecessary repetition which bogged everything down.

Homemade pizza and Hannibal! Going to do a Hannibal rewatch for #scarathlon. It's been awhile since I watched it so I'm excited

I think this is the last in the series and it was a really nice ending.

This one had a bit of a plot which was nice.

Finally completed my #NoBuy2023 bingo board! That was actually quite challenging. I'm very good at ignoring the books I own

Still very, very adorable

I always start #scarathlon with a reread of Carmilla. Gets me into that spooky mood. I'm not feeling 100% today so already in a blanket with some graphic novels to read.

I'm going to try for 20 hours of reading. I've got 2 days of not much on and I'd like to just cocoon myself in a nest and read

#20in4 @Andrew65

Just found this on my library's e-reader. I think I squeaked before immediately downloading it.

I've not got much reading time until the weekend!

GDrive has been updated with any new readathons and bingo boards. It‘s not long now! #scarathlon starts on Sunday! Excited to get started!

I accidentally left 4 off my list so I‘ve gone for 1 and 11

#castthedie

You can‘t really see it but the dice have little skulls in them! Makes them perfect for #castthedie

I rolled a 0 which can be 10 or 0 so there are 3 possible choices for everyone.

Roll 1 = 1 or 11

Roll 2 = 4

You can read all 3 or 1 or 2, it is entirely up to you! Happy reading!

#20in4 #rushathon and #outstandingoctober will all be running in October. Great way to get some extra points for #scarathlon

Ok I think I've settled on October's #bookspinbingo

There were so many choices! @TheAromaofBooks

@Laughterhp a storm has forced you into a lonely lakeside cabin. The wind buffets the rickety wood and it creaks and groans ominously. You find a room with some books, a comfy looking chair and fluffy blankets. Time to settle in and wait out the storm.

#trappedinaspookyhouse

Another October reading challenge @Charityann #erasghostsbingo

Is this the time to admit I've never listened to Taylor Swift?

#mischiefandmayhem @Kimberlone @Allylu @WhollyBologna @willaful @ElizaMarie, @sleepswithbooks @LocalTXLibrarian @NikkiM5 @sebrittainclark

@wanderinglynn you‘ve found yourself alone and trapped in a picturesque albeit lonely looking house. What unknown horrors may await you … paisley wallpaper, matching china dogs, a shag rug … it matters not as you find a comfy chair and a stack of books in one room and settle down to await rescue or something else

#trappedinaspookyhouse

The matches are in!

You‘ll have been tagged in a comment with the name of the Litsy user you are picking for, their list, and how many books you can pick, for example;

@PuddleJumper - Pigpen_Reads (LINK) 5

Puddlejumper is picking 5 books for Pigpen_Reads from the provided link.
I hope that all makes sense!

You have until September 30th to pick the books and post them. Remember to tag the person you have picked for!

@TheAromaofBooks is running a special October #promptmaze for #scarathlon

This counts as a readathon so 10 points per hour for any book used to get out of the maze
