Welcome to Litsy!

It been so long since I listened to the first 2 books in this series, but it was easy to pick back up on the adventures of Jackaby & Abigail Rook. This time, they are investigating some new deaths related to Jenny (the ghost that owns their house & whose murder hasn‘t been solved). There‘s interesting supernatural elements. Satisfying ending but with a lead-in to the last novel. I like the narration with this series. #frightclub #hauntedshelf

“Fantasy and folklore mix with mad science as Abigail‘s race to unravel the mystery leads her across the cold cobblestones of nineteenth-century New England, down to the mythical underworld, and deep into her colleagues' grim histories to battle the most deadly foe she has ever faced.”

This is the 3rd in a series & it's a good one! We learn a lot more about Jackaby & his abilities & we finally learn what happened to Jenny Cavanaugh 10 years ago which turns out to be related to events in the first two books. I'm a little sad that there's only one more in this series.
Jackaby is a lovely character. ⬇️

The third book in the Jackaby series is probably the best so far! Always a mix of fun, quirk, and supernatural danger, this book focused on the ghost, Jenny Cavanaugh and her search to find out who killed her. Lots of twists and turns, and there's a trip to the Underworld, which was super cool. I'm a little sad that book 4 is the end of this series.

Already almost done with this #audiobook, and it's even better than book 2! I'm sad because I think the next book will be the end of Jackaby's tale. #pageathon #purplecover

I‘m having fun pulling books off my shelf and realising how unbalanced the ratio of buying books : read books is 😂 (although in this case I‘ve read half)

Finding a moments peace even when things feel out of your control is important. Take care of yourselves, Littens.

" 'So you‘re a freak, too, huh?' sneered the big man. I couldn‘t see Jackaby‘s face, but I could almost hear the broad grin in his answer. 'I am not generally one for titles, but that is one I‘ll embrace with pride.' " ?☺

Really liked this third instalment of this charming series. It definitely progressed along and answered quite a few questions. I wish these books were twice the length they are as I feel like these stories could be even grander.

My new book outlet order came in!

Getting back to my Jackaby reread

I really enjoy the Jackaby series - nice middle grade/YA stories with a mix of horror, monsters, mystery, and folklore. This third book in the series is quite fun, with some extra character growth and just enough spooky action.

Day 4 Post Challenge! Today's prompt is #CurrentlyReading and on Day 4 I was reading Ghostly Echoes by William Ritter! I was also listening to The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien!
I have since finished Ghostly Echoes and loved it! The whole Jackaby series is amazing! So mysterious & the World/Magic System is super interesting and you learn more and more each book!
As for The Silmarillion I still have NO IDEA what is going on!

Day 4 post Challenge is #CurrentlyReading !! I‘m currently reading Ghostly Echoes (only just over 100 pages to go, so aiming to finish that in the next couple hours) & The Silmarillion which I‘m listening to on audiobook (90 pages in!)

Day 3 update for Fantasy @JourneyAThon !!

So today I finished King of Fools by Amanda Foody for the New Reynes Challenge.

I have started the audiobook of The Silmarillion by J.R.R Tolkien for the The Shire Challenge.

I also started Ghostly Echoes by William Ritter physically for the Ellingham Academy Challenge!!

I am still loving these books. they are detective novels, but with magic, set in the era of horse and carts, and they have a Sherlock/doctor who vibe I adore. I definitely liked this one better than book 2, and love finding out more about Jenny and also hints of Jackaby‘s past. I‘m hoping this series keeps going and going. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Finally getting into book three from the Jackaby series ❤

It‘s cold, found out my window was frozen while I was in the drive thru getting coffee. But otherwise it‘s a great morning.

I love the Jackaby series and I always fly through each book. I really love that we finally got to focus more on Jenny and her story in this one. If you‘re looking for a supernatural Sherlock Holmes style book with plenty of quirk and humor, then this series is for you.

This series is so much fun, and while this book still has some of those funny, lighthearted moments, it had an overall darker, more serious tone. Also, the audiobook narrator is amazing!

I love this series so much! This one might be my favourite so far. I‘m moving right on to the next. Though I‘ll be sad when it‘s over.

I have been trying to finish this book since I woke up this morning. But family. The apple cider bellini is helping. Because family.

Fitted in a bit of sight seeing around my mystery reading... finished book 2 and straight on to book 3!

Visiting Macau today, this is the view from the Mount Fortress 😍 (very close to the ruins of St Paul)

I hardly read anything last month since I was focusing on writing and now I‘m in a bit of a funk 🙁. I have to read a book for book club, but after that I want to read some fun stuff to hopefully stop a slump before it gets too bad. I‘m thinking maybe the last two books in the Jackaby series? And I have plenty of graphic novels sitting on my shelves, so maybe I‘ll get through some of those, too. Gorgeous bookmark by Bibliophile Prints 😍

Thank you so much @Avanders the cold brew chocolates are amazing! Funny you would send me Bones Coffee, I just received my first order from them but you sent a flavor I didn‘t get so yay! The Trader Joe‘s coffee sounds amazing too. #CoffeeBeanBookClub

I think this may be my favorite of the series even though it is setting up for the final book. I love all of the characters, especially Jenny and Abigail. I was happy to see Jenny get some resolution about what happened to her. I think Abigail really shines in this one. I also love the addition of Lydia Lee.

Counting as part of the #screamathon due to supernatural characters. This is not a scary series.

“POSSESSION. Jenny wanted to attempt possession, and in my foolish eagerness I agreed. The office faded in a blinding haze of whiteness, and together Jenny and I tumbled into a world of mist and cold and pain...and out the other side.”

Another fun mystery with Jackaby and Abigail, this time they are looking for who murdered Jenny. Loved this book, love this series! ✨👻📚

While on my way to Zumba tonight, listening to the tagged book, I saw a rainbow. 🌈 Rainbows always brighten my day, even when I get to the park and find out Zumba was canceled. 🤷🏼‍♀️

See my previous post for a giveaway! 🙂

Thought that I would get more time in yesterday before I started my school work. Hoping to get a few more hours in today for #24B4Monday

Book 2 for the #24B4Monday

I love the Jackaby series ✨ 🤗

Another great story about Jackaby and the gang! The story is becoming more in depth, as are the characters. Supernatural mystery is something I never really considered but this series has changed my mind! 👏🏼😂
I‘m flying through these and I‘m going to be sad when I finish the final one!

AWESOME!!!

Despite my kids being away for a week, I have not gotten as much reading in as I would have liked. But I did get a lot of errands done and other things I‘ve been putting off.

Love this! 🏳️‍🌈

Can‘t get enough of this series!

Listening to an #audiobook during my son's Hapkido class 🎗😀

Enjoyable, if longer than it needed to be. I look forward to the next.

4am and I‘ve just finished the third book in the Jackaby series by William Ritter. I really enjoyed this one, the new characters were brilliant(especially Charon, I hope the afterlife is exactly like that!)and the story was interesting. I really love that Jenny finally got her answers. It sets it up for the last book very neatly, The Dire King will be on the top of my next BookDepository.com order for sure! Highly recommended. 5⭐️

1. 👆
2. I picked up a Little Golden Book(I believe it was The Pokey Little Puppy)when I was 4yrs old & started reading. I credit my Auntie Lilla for feeding my addiction with old books.
3. I‘m an insomniac so most of my reading is done between 11pm & 5am. House is quiet, no traffic noise. Bliss.
4. The Oz books as a child(TikTok & Ozma were favourites), the core group in The Wheel Of Time series as an adult. Too many more to count!

Plus: I‘ve had an awesome #BookMail day today🤩
Minus: The hubby was Home to receive it😩
I‘ve been amazingly restrained,all things considered. It‘s been ages since I‘ve had a large #BookHaul to show you guys,this is the other half of last weeks haul(booktopia has afterpay, so I‘m being good!)This is the 3rd book in the Jackaby series by William Ritter, the 1st book totally hooked me on this world,where a duck lives in a marsh on the third floor🦆

HaHa

I want to read the last two books in this series.

Some of the reviews for this installment of the Jackaby series were tepid, but I loved it! We learn what happened to Jenny and have some interesting adventures in the land of the Fae and in the Underworld. It‘s also setup perfectly for the last title, The Dire King.

Love this quote. “Questions are good,” Jackaby said. “Questions are to the clever mind as coal is to the stoker. I will worry more when we run out of them.”

This series is just so much fun!

It's is 4:45 am and I just finished book 3 in the Jackaby series. It is such a pleasurable read. It perfectly mixes the heart of a Sherlock Holmes story with a strong hit of the fantastic. I love how it intertwines with truly beautiful writing to form a unique narrative and suprising twists. Looking forward to the last book. Here was a passage that really spoke to me. The sentiment is just so honest. #Jackaby

Oh look, another series I haven‘t even started yet even though I own all of the books. 🤦🏻‍♀️
