pickThis was a perfect gothic story for the October season. It weaves together elements of Jack the Ripper, Mary Reilly (movie), Jane Eyre, and Frankenstein. It was such a good story; I flew through the whole book in one day. I wished it was longer.

pickThis was such a fun Halloween book! Each chapter is a day in October with a cast representing tropes in Victorian gothic lit. The MC is a dog named Snuff who is prepping for The Game to be played by his master Jack (the Ripper) on Halloween night. I loved the twists and figuring out The Game as October progressed. I wish there had been a just little more action but I can see myself reading this every spooky season. I‘m obsessed with this cover 🧡
I've caught up to the October 9th chapter and hope to read one per day for the rest of the month. Liking it so far.
This is my favorite Fall book. It has everything: humor, some chills, and a possible Apocalypse!

pick75/100 I'm not a devoted Holmesian, but I thought this was a delightfully supernatural take on the Holmes & Watson stories. I liked Dr Doyle, a more intelligent and far less bumbling version of Watson, and I have to admit their secret caught me totally by surprise. Crow, the stand for Holmes, was witty and innocent, not nearly as caustic as Holmes could be at times. I hope the author plans a sequel, since the ending ⬇️
I remember the moon.
A cold and bloated orb, it watches with indifference as we pass below.
I remember my parents smiling—recalling some incident of our evening in town. They are so happy.
How quickly that can change, eh?
Something happens … the coach stops abruptly.

pickI read A Dangerous Collaboration back in March & the tagged in May, trying not to rush through this fun series. These 2 books are when the romance heats up, although the part that‘s supposed to be steamy was anti-climactic to me. Loved the different mysteries in both, the tagged upped the danger & had a good villain. Excited for the next one!

I was semi-obsessed with this #TimeTravel movie in 1979 with the mashup of H.G. Wells & Jack the Ripper & even bought a copy of the book.
