Oooo, so dark and creepy! It starts off cozy and then turns on you. A very disturbing read that has many possible interpretations.

Bookwormjillk Macaroni‘s This is Udolpho gives Welcome to Jurassic Park vibes 3d

AllDebooks At last, we get to the mysteries. I switched to audiobook and am more attentive. My eyes were glazing over reading the text, what with the scenery, crying, more crying, pantomime drama/villian. I know so many people who love this gothic classic, that I don't want to bail. Here's hoping Radcliffe #RampsUpTheSpooky 3d

Bookwormjillk @AllDebooks I‘m hoping that now, after 18 chapters, we‘ll start getting the good stuff. The veiled portrait seems like a promising start right? 3d

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk first she doesn‘t read the papers, now she doesn‘t look at the portrait , this girl is killing me! 3d

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead I‘m sure she will if she can ever find it again 3d

AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk 🤞 I hope so. 3d

AllDebooks @BarkingMadRead she reminds me of Ruth, with all her timid, obedient goodness. Where's your curiosity at girl? #SneakAPeek 3d

mcctrish Am I the only one who wonders if the mystery woman is the one Emily‘s dad had a picture of? Also honestly I feel like there was slightly less crying 2d

Clare-Dragonfly Hooray, something is happening! Other than Emily being mean to Annette. Hoping for a ghost sighting 🤞🏻 @mcctrish Ooh, I bet you‘re right! 2d

peanutnine @mcctrish I thought the same thing! Hopefully she can find the portrait again in that maze of a castle 2d

mcctrish @peanutnine does Emily actually keep anything ? Why did she burn those papers ?! 2d

Little Stranger | Sarah Waters

I was a little intimidated by this but was immediately engrossed. Might help that it was inspired by one of my favorite books (though not a retelling, I don't think.)

Ruthiella What‘s the book that inspired it? 4d

willaful The Franchise Affair by Josephine Tey. 4d

BallroomsOfMars

A Theory of Haunting | Sarah Monette

so-so

If the writing wasn‘t so good, this would be a Pan. Descriptions and sentiments are wonderful, but the story is a mess of extraneous details irrelevant to the plot, too many meaningless background characters, and a useless protagonist. Confusing without being mysterious, ending did not feel earned.

BallroomsOfMars What about the missing pages from the folder! The row of hidden books! Maybe I missed all the important links — I was reading at 3am during a few sleepless nights — but it did seem like a lot of stuff got attention on the page that ended up having no follow-through or consequence. 5d

Funeral Songs for Dying Girls | Cherie Dimaline

I found this very cool offering in a local free puzzle library (!!!) and did most of it while I listened to FUNERAL SONGS FOR DYING GIRLS. Alas, it‘s the first Cherie Dimaline novel I‘ve disliked. It offers up some intriguing threads, but the story as a whole fails to satisfying and the prose is so performatively purple that it shut me out of the emotions instead of placing me inside them. Sigh. #audiopuzzling

willaful Shame about the book, but damn, that's a cool puzzle. I wish we had a free puzzle library! 5d

xicanti @willaful my local LFL Instagram account found it when she was out trawling for books! It looks like it gets a fair bit of attention. Someone had dropped off a box of puzzles not too long before I got there, but they didn‘t put them in the library for some reason so I took care of it for them. 5d

Watch Over Me | Nina LaCour

pick

This review is for “Book Club Kit: Watch Over Me by Nina LaCour.
I found this book to be very useful for this month dedicated to author Nina LaCour.
It includes interviews, discussion questions, and even cute bookmarks. 😃🙌 I think this one is a must read if you‘re ever reading this book.

OMG this city in the book is just 11 miles away or a half hour car ride away!

Sadly, the novel is now in Tennessee.
