Some morning short fiction with Casey, who still believes it‘s indecent to get up before 10:00. I‘m enjoying these very British, very Victorian winter ghost stories.

Bail at 42%. This is my first DNF in a while, but I just couldn't with the writing. So many commas! I remember watching The Innocents, which is an adaptation of the book staring Deborah Kerr, and we weren't overly thrilled with the movie either. I guess this isn't an interesting story to me.
Not really a Christmas read but I needed something different. Pictured: Olives reaction to her first Christmas tree, it wasn't even fully up and she was ready to destroy it (it's been up for 1 week and it's been knocked over 10 times so....)
More from the Christmas Ghost Story series. I really enjoyed this one and while not specifically about Christmas, there is a message that makes this a particularly appropriate story for the holidays. Looking forward to the next one!
From my TBR, subtitled “97 Stories to Read With the #Lights On”…. Ghosts and Christmas are a traditional combination.

Storm Darragh is headed our way in N Ireland and it's v blustery tonight, so I definitely curling up with my current read - 'The Winter Ghosts' by Kate Mosse. Stay warm folks ❤️🧣🧤⛄🎄🧑🎄
The Woman in Black is a spooky, sad ghost story with an amazing sense of place.

This is a collection of Victorian-era (if memory serves) ghost stories. Are they bone-chilling, jump-out-of-your-skin scary? No, but they‘re thought-provoking and fun, in some cases. There‘s usually a larger comment about society at play with Victorian stories. Anyway, give this one a go if only for The Monkey‘s Paw! ☺️ April‘s Double #BookSpin
