I‘m really enjoying this trip down memory lane, even if I never read the original Nancy Drew books as a teen.

In this on a friend of Nancy asks for her help in looking into a “haunted” house. At the same time someone threatens her father. There were some scary moments in here.

AnneCecilie @Librarybelle I‘m a member of that team too, but I also think that some things will always be scary no matter how much time that passes, even if the technology changes. 11mo

Librarybelle So true! 11mo

The Sun Down Motel | Simone St. James

pick

After answering the discussion questions for today‘s #BOTMBuddyread chat, I couldn‘t wait to finish this...

Fell, NY has secrets. And the Sun Down Motel outside of town seems to be the epicenter. Told in dual timelines, this ghost story is creepy and compelling, with a few twists and turns. I had some suspicions that were correct, but I didn‘t have everything figured out. There‘s mystery and suspense - so glad I read this during the day!

Librarybelle I realized I neglected to mention this is my #FreezerBook for #BBRC #GrowUp ...anything more intense and I may not ever sleep again! #TeamSqueamish @LibrarianRyan @StayCurious 5y

StayCurious I love when a book can surprise you. Sounds creepy! You must be reaching the end of BBRC😀 how close are you? 5y

Librarybelle @StayCurious I still have most of the teen category and a little bit out of middle grade, grow up, and the yeah baby category. Getting closer! How are you doing? 5y

StayCurious @Librarybelle not bad! Once I‘m done the picture books I‘ll move on to Easy readers. I‘m mostly done the other categories. June will be a mad rush to the finish! 5y

Librarybelle Haha, @StayCurious ...indeed! Great job! 5y

Conviction | Denise Mina

so-so

For the most part, this book was compelling, and at times a tad heart pounding for me (I‘m #TeamSqueamish , so I scare/thrill easily). But, by the end I felt very underwhelmed. It left me feeling meh. Still, this was a terrific distraction from a fast paced week. A little late for the January prompt, but I had this slayed for my #1WordTitle for #ReadWithMrBook .

Cathythoughts I did give it a pick .... but in hindsight I‘m inclined to agree & say “so-so” 5y

Librarybelle @Cathythoughts For me, it started out slow, then became very exciting, only to sizzle at the end. I did have pick in mind until the last 50 pages or so. 5y

Blood on Snow | Jo Nesbo

so-so

Not for the faint hearted! Very grim, slow and brooding but the tension is palpable. Unlike Case Histories where the humor fell flat, here I found the dark humor quite entertaining. I‘m just confused why a book told entirely from a male POV would be read by a woman?? Mind you, the woman is PATTI SMITH🙌🏻 but still a little odd. A quick read at under 5 hours😉 Audiobooks have really been my bff this week❤️🎧 #BorrowNotBuy

Librarybelle I‘m not sure if I have the stomach to read Nesbo‘s books. I‘ve heard they are not for the faint of heart, and I‘m totally #TeamSqueamish . 5y

Megabooks Agree with @Librarybelle ...also re: narrator was there a directorial reason? Like it‘s not really clear why Fleishman is in trouble is narrated by a woman, but by part three, it makes sense. 5y

alisiakae His books are on the gory and heavy side, but I love the Harry Hole series (haven‘t read the his stand alones like this one). I‘ll be reading this for Norway

Knife: A New Harry Hole Novel

Cinfhen It wasn‘t terribly brutal @Librarybelle @Megabooks @4thhouseontheleft but #TeamSqueamish should probably stay away 😅No, I can‘t understand why Patti Smith was the narrator although she does have a husky raspy voice which was smooth & sultry. Apparently there is a book 2 for this one but I‘m not that invested in the story to continue.

Midnight Sun: A novel

Crazeedi @Librarybelle @Megabooks I'm on #TeamSqueamish too 5y

BarbaraBB I hope you‘ll share your stats soon regarding #readingEurope2020! You‘ve covered half the continent already it seems 😉❤️ 5y

Cinfhen Ha!! Need to fill out my map @BarbaraBB thanks for the reminder 5y

GatheringBooks is this part of a series? i am scared to read a jo nesbo bec not very sure where to begin! 😭🤷🏽‍♀️ 5y

Cinfhen No, it‘s the first book in a new series that can each be read as a stand alone @GatheringBooks I think it‘s a good place to start with Nesbo 5y

What to Read When: The Books and Stories to Read with Your Child--and All the Best Times to Read Them | Pam Allyn

I‘m terrible with sticking with #tbr lists for the month. The closest I can come to a true #OctoberTBR is the hope to finish up at least some of the books that I have been reading for at least a month. They‘re all great books, but I‘m also getting distracted by other shiny books.

It‘s my hope to also include some mysteries and thrillers and other books that won‘t give me nightmares - totally #TeamSqueamish ! #FallIsBooked

OriginalCyn620, Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

MallenNC I so relate to not sticking to a TBR and being distracted by shiny new books! 5y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I can‘t stick to a list either 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣 5y

Sace Oh yeah. Planning my reading is just setting myself up for failure...or at least guaranteed to make my reading feel like a chore. 5y

Librarybelle Glad I‘m not the only one who struggles, @MallenNC @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks and @RestlessFickleBookHoarder ! 5y

Sace Not at all. I've thrown all tracking and planning out the window and just reading wherever my mood leads me. Im not reading as much, but I'm enjoying it more. 5y

OriginalCyn620 I think we all get distracted by shiny new books! 😂 5y

Librarybelle @OriginalCyn620 Hazard of being a reader - #somanybooksnotenoughtime ! 😂 5y

The Elementals | Michael McDowell

pick

Horror is not my genre so I can't compare this to other horror books but I suspect this was horror lite. The end definitely had some creepy, disturbing imagery but luckily it's wasn't too much for this member of #TeamSqueamish. Mostly I kept wondering why they loved that place so much! I really liked several of the characters and would have enjoyed a deeper look at their lives and relationships. Thanks @Cinfhen for organizing this #buddyread.

Cinfhen I agree, this is probably #horrorLite and I was fine with that!! 6y
