I loved this trilogy of GNs. I read Sheets and Delicates in May, then this one in June. It‘s a YA series, with a girl who runs the family laundromat befriending a ghost. In this one, they investigate how the ghost (who‘s a pre-teen) died. This series has a lot of feels. #12booksof2024 @Andrew65
Got my read for #ThematicCozies all ready! I‘m going to use this challenge to try and make a little dent in my unread kindle books!

pickWhy do some books hit right? I dunno, but this one hit the right notes for me 🎶 Was it long? Yep - but I was ready for it and I was intrigued enough to settle in and enjoy the ride. It does feel like YA and I am not complaining; it had humor and teenspeak (hey I am old) and sex and crushes and twists and turns and magic with ambiguous good vs evil and I enjoyed it very much. #ToB2025 #Dec2024 Book119

pickNumber 9: Can you guess how old I am based on these last two books? Clearly loving the nostalgic/VHS theme. 📼
Grady Hendrix is an author I will read anything from. No notes, perfect book. Big fan of the movie adaptation too.

pickIt wasn‘t listed but the REAL book is Scallops and Sorcerers: Vampire Knitting Club: Cornwall by Nancy Warren, the second in the Cornwall spinoffs.
This was the perfect easy read, with some good faith clues and an easily solved (but still just challenging enough to be uncertain) murder.
I did read it super fast though, which is my only complaint with these. Knitting pictured is my Felix Cardigan (Berroco Mercado in Lupine)
pickWOW! This book! I don‘t know where to begin. This is certainly not your typical haunted house tale. And I really didn‘t expect to laugh hysterically at the end. That being said, this is not at all a funny book. It‘s horrifying and gory and bloody and mystifying. Unreliable narrator is an understatement and actually does the narrator a disservice. You‘ll have to read it to find out for yourself what is real and what is reality.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickI wish there was more Miranda and Nicolas. This has been my favourite of this series so far, and I expect it to remain the favourite until the end. #74-2024
Yesterday I talked about my most disappointing reads of 2024 now let‘s talk about my favorite reads of the year. I was in a slump most of the year but I did read a few books that I really enjoyed. And apparently 2024 was the year of horror/thrillers.
