Welcome to Litsy!

This was okay but it‘s not a book I‘ll keep on my shelf

A quick book while I‘m a bit sick- I‘m halfway through and it‘s very gripping so far ☺️

Arthur Kipps is sent to a remote village to settle a client‘s affairs after she has died. There is a “woman in black“ who haunts the deceased clients house and area. This is beautifully written, one of the best ghost stories I have ever read. Overall- exceptionally good read. ⬇️

Make a great day everyone 😊

This one bordered on a thriller for me! Great story with heart wrenching moments!

In 1935, five men set off to follow in the ill-fated footsteps of the 1905 expedition up Kangchenjunga. Little do they know the mountain is hiding a dark secret. I like historical and psychological horror but this one was a soft pick. There was just so many opportunities to make this story truly horrifying, disturbing, and unsettling but Paver chose to take a safer route. I‘m hoping her other book Dark Matter will make me afraid of the dark.

It took me forever to get into this and when I finally did, it got weird...in a bad way. And then I found out the author made some awful comments about trans people. So, yeah, I'm bailing.

Not being a MiddleGrade student, it‘s probably unfair of me to rate, so let‘s call it a low pick. Born a girl but uncomfortable with culture messages of what she *should* be interested in, Bug is also mourning her recently deceased Uncle (who might be haunting her!) I could identify with the confusion of being told “just be yourself!” But WHO is YOU when you don‘t know what you feel and are uncomfortable in your own skin? #BannedBook #Transgender

Then things get very creepy in the cemetery and her brother‘s best friend Everett disappears. She starts to investigate, but it seems like a ghost is now following her and her brother. How will they find Everett and help the ghost find peace?

This book was so thrilling and adventurous. I got this book from my #hauntedhollowswap and finally had the time to pick it up and read it. I‘m in to the next book in the series‘s while waiting for my next #AuldLangSpine book to show up!! The City Of Ghosts left me in awe of the way V. E. Schwab, could write as a kid and portray all the details that follow being a middle schooler who could see ghosts.😂
10/10 recommend!!
