My mom loved this series. She was the one who sparked my love of reading. I love that my nieces and nephews (an some of their kids as well) also love to read. My mom would be so happy that she passed that down. As for this book series, I would love to hear your recommendations for other fun cozy mysteries. Bonus points if they take place in bookstores. Also, I am happy that @amandalewey is now on Litsy. ❤️

AmyG I loved these too. Read them years and years ago. 2w

I have been so grateful for this community this past week. I spent more time here than I have in a long time and now I remember why I love it so much. This election cycle and the toxic waste from all other social media platforms almost did me in. But this community has people who are the complete opposite of toxic. Thank you. 💙

Leftcoastzen Agree ! Right back at you ! 2w

DogMomIrene Same. I came back about a month ago. Such a difference in my outlook. 2w

My Halloween aesthetic. I love cool fall days. Reading a book outside when it‘s chilly outside but not cold. Curling up in a comfy chair inside when it is cool and rainy. Cozy socks. Books that make you sleep with the light on. My favorite time of the year and Halloween is my favorite holiday! #HauntedHallowSwap @wanderinglynn

I love the imagery of this book. Goth vibes. Creepy ghost children. Diverse characters. Great writing. And yet, I am still struggling to stick with it. It would make an incredible movie or miniseries. I know it‘s me and not the book but I‘m very close to declaring this a DNF. However, I have been quitting on too many books lately. So I‘m going to attempt to find some uninterrupted reading time and finish it this week. 🖤

I‘ve been in a funk of anxiety and depression and doom scrolling for so long. I am ready to retreat into books again. Got these two books with my birthday gift card. I am going to make an effort to stay off the cesspool of social media (except Litsy of course!) and see if I can reignite my passion for reading.

This book gets mixed reviews. I personally loved it! It‘s a slow burn folk horror story that takes place in a remote forest in Utah. There‘s a lot of technical detail about producing tv news in the 1980s that might bore some people but it was a fun story! I am looking forward to reading more by this author. Thank you @Marmie7 for including this in my #HHS package 🖤

I almost forgot to come back from my lunch break because I got so into the end of this book. I may have finally broken through my reading slump. I only read about 6 books January through June but I‘ve read 4 in the last 6 weeks, including the uncut version of The Stand. It feels good to be excited about reading again 🙂❤️ 📚

TripleS I read the uncut version of the Stand last summer! And I‘m currently reading the only one left!! 1y
DeeLew @TripleS how did you like The Stand? I LOVED it! I also reread Pet Sematary last week. Let me know what you think of all the twists in The Only One Left 🙂 1y
TripleS I LOVED the stand also!! And I need to read pet Sematary!! I loved The only one left!! I thought I had some guesses but the twists kept coming!!! 1y
DeeLew @TripleS Pet Sematary is one of my all time favorite horror novels. 🖤 I‘m glad you enjoyed The Only One Left as much as I did. 🙂 1y

Scary story but the “twist” was obvious from the beginning. I wanted to love it. Maybe it was because I was suffering from a book hangover after reading Fairy Tale. Still, it was a fun quick read.

I‘ve been in a reading slump since the last week of November. I think I have read maybe 3 books since then. This one feels like it‘s going to be a quick read so maybe I‘ll get over the hump soon. How is everyone doing? I haven‘t been very active here lately and I miss the Litsy family. ❤️

ShyBookOwl I had quite a few reading slumps last year. It was frustrating. To pull myself out, I'd usually try listening to an audiobook of an old favourite I'd only done in text. A book I knew I could count on, but a new experience of it. Good luck! 3y
wanderinglynn I too faced several reading slumps last year. I reread some faves and got into romance—a genre I had never really previously read. But I found the characters‘ journeys hopeful and the happily ever afters were what I needed. I also found that audiobooks helped because I could listen to a story while doing something else. 3y
marleed Welcome back! I change genres and reading formats (audio, print, ebook) often and that really helps me. 3y
