Welcome to Litsy!

“You said you didn‘t believe in ghosts.”
“I don‘t, but I believe in you.”

Not how mental illness works. You don‘t see ghosts. Mental illness shouldn‘t have been a plot line. Ghost stories can happen without pretending there‘s mental illness. Also not actually how it is in Maine for the young. A LOT go away for college. Some do end up back or can‘t leave but college even community college is a big option. Honestly it was a big mess. ⭐️⭐️

For my work reading challenge. As someone from Maine I‘m very meh with this book so far. A little too “white savior” trope for my liking. Though, this is based on an actual event in the states history. I just think it could do better. We‘ll see. I‘m only 30% in.

I‘ve read and loved the first two books of this pile but I‘d really appreciate the chance to read the rattles bones and manhattan beach! They sound so interesting and I like the feminism twist on them! My favorite snack would probably be something chocolate based. I don‘t eat chocolate that much but when I do it‘s the best! Thanks @Eggs for holding this #65Kgiveaway !!!

Find Me. The words following Rilla wherever she goes. It started with a ghostly voice singing from the stormy seas surrounding the town.

Then the visions started.

She can feel the girl's pain, sadness, fear. Its clear that there might be more to these visions than hallucinations. The voices whisper to Rilla in the middle of the night. Sung to her over the ocean's whistling waves.

FIND ME.

How can Rilla help someone only she can see?

My dearest @Shannon_McKinney 💖 This was such an amazing box, and I can tell how much thought you put into it! And your lovely letter to me! I laid this all out on something nice because we don‘t have a tree up yet 😭 All the little details, including the yummy smelling candles (in scents I love), are fab, but MOST important, are my books, including two, THE WOOD, and THE RATTLED BONES that I have wanted to read FOREVER! I want to HUG you! 💓😽

Afternoon reading. 👻🌊❤️

I thought of doing a Halloween theme for this book. Very apt for a paranormal mystery.

Warning: Some spoilers.

The fact that this is based on true events is just, well IDK. What happened to the people makes me angry and sad. I loved Rilla for being strong and independent. I want to have tea with Gram and pick her brain.

I've had my fair share of banned books just because someone thinks they are a bad influence. Do you have a banned books story?

Sneaking in a few pages while I was on break. I missed the feel of an actual book in my hands.

"in our everyday"

Historical fiction mystery surrounding the fate of Malaga Island off the coast of Maine and its inhabitants, in early 20th century. But oh so much more!! Characters with depth and nuance. I Devoured it in 1 sitting

I got this book in my YA PageHabit box and this book was annotated by the author. I really enjoyed this book with the realistic aspects and the ghost story. There were times I was literally creeped out and got chills. The relationships and themes in the book were phenomenal. I could not put this book down. Only thing is I think the book could have been edited more.

I love a good ghost story, and this one has some pretty creepy, shivery moments. Combine those spine-tingling scenes with an interesting backstory and you‘ve got a solid, satisfying read. And look at that cover! Full review at http://itsallaboutthebook.org
