pickSixteen-year-old Ray Garraty is about to start the Long Walk - an annual competition between 100 boys where the one to walk the longest distance wins his wildest dreams. The boys have to maintain a pace of 4 miles per hour, day & night, no stopping for toilet breaks, eating, or sleeping, & soldiers monitor them continuously. 3 warnings & you are out - permanently.
Currently reading: American Rapture by CJ Leede.
Really enjoyed her first book, Maeve Fly, so I‘ve been looking forward to this one.

Recently moved and finished the first story in this two story collection. Perfect for spooky season. RL Stine will always be a favorite. As always, I was supervised by my best noodle. #fearstreet #rlstine #paperback #thelostgirl #spooky #spookyseason #catsoflitsy #readingbuddy
I'm not much into horror movies or stories, but I'll read a few a of these short stories written by female authors. Included here are some by authors not usually associated with the horror genre, such as Louisa May Alcott and Edith Wharton.

pickKingfisher (along with narrator Avi Roque) does an excellent job creating the chill and chilling atmosphere of this short novel. I really admire Roque's use of dramatic pauses. The ending feels a little abrupt after the build-up, but it also feels appropriate. I definitely plan to read Easton's next adventure, but I might put a little time between this one and the next; I think this series might lose its luster if I binged it.
#HauntsAndHexes Day 19: this book has been described as an “elegant #nightmare by Audrey Niffeneger. Looking forward to reading it.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️This is how body horror mixed with folk horror is done people!!! All the feels: gross, shocking, tender, sad and lovely. A wonderful range of emotions. I love Murial and her creature feature!
pickEveryday Lives. Ghostly Tales.

Great book for the spooky season. Glad I read this during the day. Some of these stories were scary.

There are quite a few volumes of Valancourt ghost stories, most were written in the late 1800s-early 1900s. Perfect for reading on cold days at night, sitting in front of a roaring fire.
It's fairly fast-paced (ironically enough) even though most of the 'action' is the boys talking to each other & their dilemma between friendships & rivalry. If I could change one thing it would be to remove the creepy bits about women & girls' bodies - just not needed. 6h
