Welcome to Litsy!

#LittensDressedInBlood Today‘s prompt is Creep. There were a lot of titles going through my head, but then I spied this book on my shelf. There is a creepy pair of twins obsessed with a fictional character (this book def gives Slenderman vibes), plus I love this book and want everyone to read it.

I went into this hoping it would be a horror book. After all, it is based on the Slenderman myth. Instead it‘s a mystery/thriller. Who is stalking Alice? Why are they bringing up things from her past? And who is killing people around her? I will say, I was a bit surprised by the reveal at the end. The book was a fast, fun read. As the reader receives little bits of information, questions are answered and questions are raised. Don't trust anyone.

I‘ve really been into creepy books lately and have been seeking out the creepiest things I can find. So tell me: What‘s the creepiest book you‘ve ever read?

This was a great book that I couldn't stop reading. First off, this book is based off of true events with what happened with Slenderman. It is definitely a work of fiction though. A young girl gets stabbed by two of her classmates and lives. They stab her because Mr. Tender (a graphic novel devil bartender) told them to stab her. We fast forward her life and she has a new name and wants to forget what happened in the past.. Ending was great! 4 *

“Like you said, Alice, there are something you can't escape. Just like your skin, they are a part of you. so just wear them. make them fit your body“

This is one creepy read so far! What‘s a good creepy book you‘ve read recently?

I'm halfway through and quite possibly may read this in one sitting. Its unique and awesome. Creep factor of 10!

This one looks good!

Took Pages on the Canal walk this morning and now we're all noshing at Sines! #audiowalk #DogsofLitsy

Doing a quick re-read before book club Tuesday!

Oh this book. 😍 It was dark when it needed to be, humorous in parts that made the story line even more perfect, and was suspenseful in every chapter. This author wow‘d me.

Based loosely on the “Slenderman” attempted murder by two girls, I expected this book to go in many directions but definitely wasn‘t expecting it to be THIS GOOD. I loved every moment and will reread soon ☺️

Thomas looks down at the coffee table where my phone vibrated and scoots along the smooth wooden surface. He reads the contact on the screen to me.

“It‘s Mom,” he says.

“Oh, good God.”

“Should we answer it?”

“No, we don‘t answer it. There‘s a man bleeding to death in my living room.”

I‘m so in love with this book 😍😍😍😍

He‘s ready to hear what this is all about 🐶❤️📖

This book kept me on my toes the whole time. I didn't see the ending coming! It's loosely based on the Slenderman stabbing a few years ago, so people who enjoy true crime might be interested in this, too!

Cheese plate and strawberries for an early lunch break. So far I'm enjoying Mister Tender's Girl. It has a few cozy elements and is set around Halloween which is a bonus for me. I always get the itch for Halloween at summertime.

Author Carter Wilson was a guest at our spring book club meeting. What an absolutely lovely man and Mister Tender‘s Girl is worth reading.

"Alice, what did the penguin always tell you?"
If you get the sudden urge to start trusting someone, be smart and do away with it.

Based on The Slender Man crimes, it will keep you on the edge of your seat. It's creepy, It's absorbing. It's a fantastic thriller that will hold you in its grip until the end.....Alice Hills story will haunt you long after...
Highly Recommended Thriller.

Starting this tonight......thriller for late night reading.....hopefully I can still sleep.....

What's everyone reading?

I don't know if it's because the books I was reading when this library hold came through are kind of a slog, but I tore through this. It was a quick read, but reminded me a little of YA in it's telling if that makes sensed, based on the Slenderman crime, it focuses on the effects that surviving such a thing has on a person and the odd obsession people can have with a crime and it's survivors. The last bit was v tense.

1. I've always got several going but this one is foremost in my mind.
2. Life? I was kind of a solitary kid who preferred books to playing outdoors.
3. In the morning with coffee, during lunch break at work, before bed
4. More non-fiction things tend to stick with me because, reality, but I loved how some of Stephen Kings characters crossed over between books.

This looks interesting and it‘s on sale #ebookdeal

Slow getting into, but now it's picking up some action.

A story inspired by the Slender Men. This book had me hooked because I'm a fan of Creepypasta's but this inspired story was good on its own. I caught myself saying WTF several times because I didn't see the twists coming. #storiesthatinspirestories

Hmm I'd like to experience this smell, if it's true that is lol. Don't mind my Sally dollar bookmark. #booksmells #booksniffing

Essentials for the night 😷😕

Mmm mmm mmm passion tea and a book for the rest of the night.

Well this one started off close to home lol #newread

Words cannot explain how bone chillingly good this book was. Just what I needed, especially with term papers coming up. Alice was stabbed by 2 classmates when She was 14. Now, almost 14 years later, someone is stalking her, when she thought she had finally put the past in the past. Some of the twists were a little predictable but in the end, it was still so good. #springreads #thrillers #basedonatruestory

Wow - this book impressed me!! Wilson offers a story inspired by the Slender Man stabbing. The main character here is the survivor of a stabbing attack and the daughter of the man who created Mister Tender. Her past and present collide and she finds the truth about what happened that night. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am about 80 pages away from finishing but I just can't do it tonight. I need to get some sleep so I can finish reading the chapters in Moby Dick I need to finish for school. I actually can't wait for school to be done so I can read again. #springreads #thrillers #latenightreading

I am so pumped for this one. Already 40 pages in and I just want to curl up and read. I hate working Tuesday night's sometimes. #springreads #thriller #basedonatruestory #carterwilson #girlinthetitle

I like a book where I say, "Well that was pretty f*ed up." Alice is in need of a good therapist after all that.

An enjoyable story that was day time only reading for this delicate flower.

Special stalkery photobomb appearance from the author!

I enjoyed this book. I found the connection to an actual crime interesting, and I liked the ways that the author changed the crime for the book. This was a quick read with a mystery that kept me reading until the end. Overall, this is a pick for me.

My main #TBR pile is kind of out of control. 😮📖

What a different book! I could almost feel Alice‘s panic attacks coming on myself. To say the ending took me by surprise in an understatement for sure. I had no idea this was based on a true story, a how creepy. I'm wondering whose purchased the rights to do a televised version of this book. Interesting for sure!

Happy Saturday friends! It's a chilly, grey day in my neck of the woods, so I'm spending it the best way I know how...away in my head, into a book! 📚☕💖

I waited with baited breath to receive my finished copy after reading the initial excerpt, and I was not disappointed when I got the actual book in my hands. ‘Mister Tender‘s Girl‘ kept me riveted from start to finish; the tension, and gripping story just didn‘t let up for the entire novel. Wilson was inspired to write this by the real-life ‘Slender Man‘ crimes‘...you know it‘s going to be interesting! Full review: http://bit.ly/MisterTenderReview

Thanks for the tag, @Booksnchill 😽
I‘ve posted him before but here is...
1. JEFFERS 💓
2. He‘s been in the family since he picked me out while I was photographing cats at the rescue; he kept poking me (literally) and I couldn‘t resist. Turns out he knew we would bond/own me. 6 yrs ago? Shoot I can‘t remember exactly!
3. He pesters me for treats and lies on my belly. Waits on the toilet while I‘m in the shower
4. Anyone left? #petsandpaperbacks

Fantastic cover perfect for a truly chilling read,

I enjoyed my #CurrentRead so much that I stayed up WAY late finishing it! Alice‘s story, in the aftermath of a brutal attack when she was fourteen, is plainly riveting! And though some twists of the plot are easier to see coming than others, it‘s nearly impossible to put this page turner down as she strives for #Freedom from her past! #Riotgrams @bookriot #ReadingResolutions @Jess7

I got this as an ARC and absolutely loved it! It honestly was the perfect thriller for me! Please pick this up on February 13th!!

Wow. What a creepy and intense read. Couldn‘t put it down.
(ARC)

#NovemberByTheNumbers I started a new ARC, it‘s a little campy but fun and there is a kickass MC who is #28 years old and takes no shit...

First book done for #ARC #TBRBingo! Really compelling thriller. The protagonist survived a brutal stabbing by two schoolmates who were convinced a fictional character Mister Tender told them to do so. Now 14 years later, her past returns as she discovers someone has been stalking her with links to Mister Tender.

A breakfast burrito and getting through this ARC for #TBRBingo

It is time to seriously up my lashes game. #CurrentlyReading #arc

#TopTenTuesday time! These are the recent thrillers I've added to my piles.
