Welcome to Litsy!

My 1st finished book for July was Spirits, Stilettos and a Silver Bustier by Deanna Chase. I finally got around to starting this spin-off series from her Jade Calhoun series. It was a good start to the series but i think the next ones will be better. The series focuses on Jade's friend Pyper Rayne. She owns a coffee shop and is also a medium.

Off to a slow start with this (only about 40 pages in). I was turned off by the animal trauma at first but I‘m going to take the journey and see where it goes. 🤞I‘m down with a bad cold this evening so books may be my go-to pastime this weekend.

Shirley Jackson does creepy so so well.

Also, my goal of having fewer than 100 books on my TBR by the end of the year is in danger because of book purchasing. *sigh*

This book intertwines the POVs of the five Haddesley siblings, latest in a family that has an ancient compact with a bog, in which they give the bog the body of their patriarch and it gives them a wife for the new patriarch. I absolutely loved it. Magrat isn‘t a huge fan of being used as a book rest, but it didn‘t scare her off my lap.

Let me start by saying I am not a fan of antique dolls or puppets - they freak me out! I thought this book would terrify me and at first going in I was creeped out, but as the story went on that didn‘t hold. I was more sad about the developments happening. I felt bad for most of the people involved. I was also left with a lot of questions in the end. Overall it was an okay book.

I knew nothing about this going in and I loved it! A straight thriller with wonderful characters and great story. 5 ⭐ narration, very refreshing after the soulless narration by Franco on Dead Zone

Meeting Joe Hill was one of the best author encounters I have ever experienced! He was so sweet and kind, and wildly funny! I'm diving into his new book immediately! And guess what?! It has a dragon! 🥳🐉📖
