Welcome to Litsy!

I used to read lots of his books. Somehow I missed this one. It was not what I expected but I enjoyed it. I liked Jimmy Tock and his family. A different kind of thriller. 4/5⭐️

Raven Boys graphic novel! I loved these books way back when, so I jumped at the chance when my library got the graphic novel in.

Nope. Tried to read this for the #ChristmasCrimeChallenge
As a rule I don't like cosy anything, but I thought adding a fantasy element might help. It didn't. I could barely make it 20 pages. I think this one is probably bad even if you love cosy books. Would only take two hours or so to read, but life is still too short. I'd rather spend that time searching for a different book.

This was so good, if a bit slow. It has a very old fashioned, gothic chiller feel, which I loved. There were some truly scary parts interspersed with a lot of intrigue and mystery. Is our main character crazy? Or is she being haunted by killer wooden “companions”? You‘ll have to read to see! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

A missing paranormal investigation episode. What happened to the team and did they contact the other side?🙀

I loved the movie The Shining, so it was finally about time I sat down with the classic novel itself. IMO, the book‘s ending is both more grisly, but happier than Kubrick‘s film. Always makes me wonder if my partner and I could last a winter in a drafty old hotel of historical note (sans the haunts, of course!!).

Ah, someone took the idea “what if there's actually something sinister behind all the murders happening in [small town]“ and ran with it.

I found it a bit slow at times, and just... didn't wholly click with it. But overall it was a fun idea.

A young man who has improbably escaped death twice reveals his secret.

This was a decent short story. Odd Thomas vibes.

This one is on the high side of so-so for me. The concept, a crime scene photographer who can see and talk to the ghosts of the victims, is a good one, but this first in the series has too much childhood back story to be properly considered a thriller, and there‘s too much unnecessary detail in places. But my kindle copy included the first chapter of book 2 and I‘m kinda already invested in that story

Sock mail! Out of Print US makes the best bookish socks! I had to replace Nancy Drew socks that I lost, so I splurged on these. Giving my sister a pair for Xmas. #bookishgifts
