Welcome to Litsy!

While The Dead Romantics was my favorite read of the month, and If He Had Been With Me was a wild card I really enjoyed until the end. The Paris Apartment wowed me while Romantics I suspected the ending.

I‘m behind… but trying to catch up. 😅

Christmas gift for aunt done.

A bit slow for me but an okay haunted house

5✨ This is one of those books that you want to say why you love it, but you would spoil the best parts by doing so. Our MC is a ghost writer and she can also see ghosts. Her parents own a funeral home, and life seems to be falling apart for her love life. When an event brings her home she finds herself helping a ghost who also is helping her. #HTBookClub

Cute little book. I wanted more ghosts, and the ending felt a little rushed. I‘m not the intended age audience, but also the sheer amount of Harry Potter references in this 5 hour audiobook was ridiculous. This book was published in 2018, so around a time where more folks were becoming aware of That Woman‘s bigotry (which she‘s always held), and it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

The $8500 house the author wanted so badly. What?!
The Historic McConnell House in Wurtland, Kentucky, in Greenup County, near the Ohio River.  Est. 1833.

I enjoy haunting memoirs. The author‘s story appears on the tv series Paranormal Witness, Season 2, Episode 2…but her book is much better. For years, she lived in fear in the old Brooklyn house she and her family lived in, until finding out what happened to the restless spirits occupying her home, and why they were there. Fascinating, personal. Books like this help open up the conversation for what many experience but fear to talk about.

The description of this sounded great and I wanted something easy. I didn't realize the author also writes as AJ Sherwood, an author I've read before and not enjoyed.

This had such an interesting premise that I wished another author had written this. It was shallow, there was a lot of ‘not like other girls‘, sexism, and it was boring.

When I started reading this book, it reminded me a lot of Poltergeist (film). Here is a memoir from the 1980s in Crosby, TX: when a family unknowingly moves into a new subdivision that was built over a historical Black cemetery, they quickly find themselves in an unreal situation. I couldn‘t help but be reminded of how many Black communities have been destroyed and covered up (Central Park, Lake Lanier, etc).
