It seems odd to be reading about ghosts on such a sunny, spring-like day!

pickA wonderful anthology of short ghost stories from England, all allegedly true, ranging in time from the 8th century to the 20th. Some are direct quotes while others are retold.
Though I am a sceptic, while reading through this lively collection I found myself mistaking ordinary objects in the dark for shadowy, otherworldly figures. I can only attribute that effect to the vivid nature of the accounts selected by Ackroyd. A perfect October read.
pickIf you're looking for some good ghost stories this season, I've got the book for you.
Seminar preparation in PJs. I love my job. 🤣
I can‘t wait to read this one! I love the Tudor time period.

so-soI've struggled to read previous books by Ackroyd, this one was okay although I'm not at all impressed with the ending. I'm not planning to read any more Peter Ackroyd books
A nice pile from my favorite second hand book shop in The Netherlands. (The English bookshop in Bredevoort). Such a beautiful sight! Where should I start?
