Welcome to Litsy!

Simply marvelous. An adventure tale bursting with colour, exhibiting a really expansive variety of ways to fill the pages beyond the traditional grid of panels style, character design seen in the 'monster' unlike anything I've seen before, as well as other imaginative fantasy characters. An almost exclusively female cast of characters with a variety of skills, interests, backgrounds, personalities and foibles. 1/?

It hurt to bail on this, since it contains the #HauntedShelf #WordSearch word “Chestnut“ 😂 but it really wasn't working. Too whimsical for my taste, and the premise that the main character is blind and so has no idea her aunt is literally a monster just didn't sit well with me.

This was such a fun read. Thank you @Reggie for this great MG horror. Evelyn moves to Blight Harbour to live with her witchy aunt after the loss of her parents. She struggles with PTSD and panic attacks. This book sets her on a paranormal quest to best a nasty spirit but aided by some more helpful ghosts and witches. An alternative to Coraline this spooky season 🧙👻🎃 Pictured are my ginormous witchy cats!

Ruby lives with her aunt Matoo while her mom is in prison. She is cautious with friendships - how do you even talk about that with peers?! So many secrets to wonder about - there is an “inside” Ruby and an “outside“ Ruby, and that‘s a lot for a young girl.

A day late, but since @Kimzey tagged me, I‘ll do it.
1: imagination is not my strong suit, so it‘s just my name.
2: Walk, drive, wind down at night. That‘s pretty much when I listen. I get distracted if I try to listen while doing other things.
3: Apple Die was my nighttime book, and I just finished it.

I‘ve also decided to do what you never managed to do but what I know you probably wish you did . . . I‘m going to go home.

Oh, and I told him for you.

I wish that as a child there had been a book like this. This book was definitely up my loving the supernatural type of stories. Lora Senf can write like the best of them! This book is up there with The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. I recommend reading this with your child or recommending it to the purchasing librarian at your local Library, I know I will! I've got a few kids who wander the stacks looking for books like The Clackity.

I'm taking my just turned 9 year old to Barnes and Noble today to spend the birthday $ he got from the grands, and as luck would have it my IRS refund hit the bank today. So I need all the recommendations. Prefer mysteries and sci-fi and travel memoirs. I love long series I can really sink my teeth into. Don't care for romance or domestic thrillers, but I'm pretty open to anything else. Hit me up with everything you love!
