#TBRTarot Less than 100 pages: How to Make Friends with a Ghost
so-soIn this 3rd & final book of the original trilogy, Dan, Abby, & Jordan hit the road on one last trip together before they head to college. Jordan is moving to New Orleans so the trio head towards the city. Abby & Jordan really want to put recent events behind them, but Dan is not so sure they can, especially as he thinks they're being followed. Then Dan starts receiving warning message from Micah by email - but Micah is dead, isn't he?
pickThe fourth book is one of the best of the series: danger, intrigue, dragons, & the Triwizard Tournament. There's plenty of action with the 3 tasks, alongside a few lessons on being careful who you trust. Sirius is back (briefly) & there are some new characters who will play a part in what is to come.
It's been a while since I first read this series & it's amazing just how much I 'forgot' through just watching the films. (continued)
pickThis installment of the Inspector Rebus series has Rebus sent for “retraining“ among other problematic police officers and involves several complex storylines.

pickA new bishop at the Cathedral sees Merrily's work in 'Deliverance' (aka exorcism) at risk. Meanwhile she is asked to take on a case of strange activity at a 12th century house on the border between Wales & England. The new owners have been seeing & hearing weird shadows & noises, but when Merrily goes to see them, she has the feeling they are holding something crucial back. Good news - Lol is finally back. Bad news - so is Jane.
A teen in literal thrall to her mother and a middle-aged woman fearing for her susceptible brother work together to fight their extraordinarily powerful enemy. An almost unbearably anxious read, but the horror is well balanced with kindness, comradeship, and love. (There's an understated but very tender romance.)

pickFollowing the events of their previous summer at New Hampshire College & the towering presence of Brookline asylum, Dan, Abby, & Jordan have remained in touch but can't seem to move on. Dan is persuaded into going to see Felix, another summer school student who has been institutionalised ever since, by Felix's mother & he tells Dan that he has to return to Brookline & gives him the co-ordinates for three addresses there.
pickI enjoyed the twists and turns in this mystery and I found the conclusion satisfying. However, Miss Marple doesn't make an entrance until we're well into the story. I kept waiting impatiently for her to show up!

We all seem to agree that we don‘t quite feel LMM‘s enthusiasm over Elizabeth, but can see why she did! Are there books that you‘ve accidentally come across like LMM found Elizabeth—and wished you‘d found earlier?
pickDiscworld, Hollywood and Cthulhu all get mixed up chaotically together in this novel. I enjoyed all the references to old movies and Hollywood stars, and I especially loved Gaspode the Wonder Dog!
