Welcome to Litsy!

Imagine being a supernatural of the vampire, witch or demon variety, and having people telling you what to do, always. I can't imagine vampires would want to live forever with this sort of bureaucratic bullshit dominating their lives. I listened to the audiobook. The narrator was adept at the various accents but the weird way she drags out her "twooo"s grates. A book this large would benefit from having a second narrator of the male variety. ⬇️

Ive had a blast & have read more than I‘ve done in ages. My next post will be a complete wrap up with stats etc. I‘ve finished up with a reread of a witchy fave. 1,956pts #TeamSlaughter

⭐⭐⭐⭐
I loved the idea behind this story. Loved Addie. Loved the writing style. If it hadn't bogged a little bit in the middle - 3/4ths section, it would have been a 5 star read. As it is, it was still a terrific book.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Again I wanted to enjoy this more, but the start to the action was far too slow and struggled to like the MC. Not my favourite Riley Sager. #Scarathlon2020 #TeamSlaughter 15pts + 1pt

Bk27 of #Scarathlon2020 #Screamathon2020 #Pageathon #Thrilloween #Sbooktober #GothicReadathon #BookishBingo #RockyHorrorathon #ReadLikeHellathon #Strangeathon #Booathon & #Slaughterthon is done! I‘m hoping to fit in one more book by thons end🤞This one was a BDBH read, I‘m a sucker for a hot vampire! This continued the story of Marisol & Assail, a human thief & the criminal vampire that loves her. 846pts for #TeamSlaughter

There are 15 stories by 15 different authors in this anthology. I expected at least some of them to feature Sookie, but she was only briefly in one of them. Of the lot, 3 of them were moderately enjoyable. The remaining 12 varied from so-so to pointless filler. A waste of an audible credit. ☹

Not quite what I was expecting, but really freaking beautiful! One of those slow burns with an intricate story and a touch of gothic atmosphere. A perfect fall read. 🐉🧡

I also listened to her kind of feminist manifesto Essex Girls. So good! 💚💚💚

I am not one for legal books, fiction or non-fiction, but I joined in on the #SundsyBuddyRead. This is very thorough, giving us some background about the Borden family and the aftermath of those vicious murders. We move to details of the court case, with day by day descriptions of the case and includes black & white photos of the crime scenes, and closes with the verdict and a brief aftermath. This is DENSE. Well researched, but lots of names ⬇️

The October #ThatsClassic pick. Some of the book feels repetitive, but still a good early gothic horror. Perhaps it's knowledge of how it all pans out, but it didn't feel very suspenseful. As others mentioned before, it's not exactly a female friendly world we're viewing but that's how women were regarded in the 1890s. Thanks for the push to reread it 25 years later @Annie1215
