“My beloved aunt, Sara Harrison Shea, was brutally murdered in the winter of 1908.”

This is my first #trappedinaspookyhouse read for the month. I started reading it last night & the creepy vibes definitely sunk into my dreams as I had to wake myself up to escape. 😳

Pickpick

A fun adventure, enemies to lovers romcom. I liked the whole Lara Croft/Indiana Jones/Goonies vibe. I also liked that the characters were older than 20. Yes, it wrapped up a little too quickly (the big drama all happens in the last 3-4 chapters), & like many romcoms, wraps up a bit too neatly (not only a HEA, but “fortune & glory”). But it‘s still a fun read. I also really liked the authors note on how this story came about.

Soft pick. This is a debut novel & it reads like one.
I thought the concept of the story was beautiful. I think this might have been a solid 4-star read had a better editor helped develop the characters & theme. As is, this is really more of a 3-star read.

My full review is on GR. But another book off my shelf & listed on my Pango shelf! #clearingmyTBR

Mehso-so

Meh. I really had to make myself keep reading, which is never a good sign. On the plus side, it‘s a YA book that doesn‘t involve insta-love or a love triangle. But the character development was weak, the story dragged, and like many a YA, the ending was predictable.

But it‘s off my TBR shelf and listed on my Pango! #clearingmyTBR

“Sing for me,” you whisper. “Please.”

My first Bindery Books book from Ezeekat Press. Jayson (ezeekat) is on of my fave accounts to follow on IG. And I‘m super excited to dig into the first book he‘s published. The next book his Ezeekat Press is publishing also looks really interesting.

1. Probably my 5-volume set of Elizabeth Barrett Browning Poetical Works published in 1886.

2. At least one of Stephen King‘s books, if not more. Given that he‘s written horror, fantasy, dark fantasy, supernatural, crime fiction, thrillers, suspense, gothic, alternative history, drama, suspense, and even non-fiction, his works are likely to last.

This is for you @Charityann :

Your car breaks down right by The Hitchcock Hotel. You enter the lobby but no one is at the front desk, which is covered in a thick layer of dust. Desperate for shelter, you and The Intern act like Bad Tourists and break into a room. The room is filled with dust & cobwebs, and strange symbols cover the walls. You have an uneasy feeling & turn to leave. With a maniacal laugh, the Intern says, 👇🏻

wanderinglynn “you should try to escape Before the Devil Knows You‘re Here.” Before you can even take a breath, he breaks apart like a House of Glass and the door slams shut. Shaken, you take a step back and bump into a table that has a small bottle with a shimmery liquid. The label only reads “for Garden Spells.” Hearing heavy footsteps coming down the hall, you decide you have nothing to lose. You open the bottle and drink the whole thing in one gulp. 👇🏻 3mo
wanderinglynn The world spins, a portal open, and you momentarily feel relieved before you pass out. When you wake, you find yourself in the Castle of the Cursed. Looking out, you see your in the topmost turret. Knowing you are #trappedinaspookyhouse, you must escape before A Sorceress Comes to Call. You desperately checking every door to find an exit, & you stumble into the library where a woman dressed all in white like a zombie Bride says “Check and Mate”. 3mo
Charityann Thanks!! I love this, and can‘t wait to read all these books.😄📚👻🧡 3mo

There‘s still time to sign-up for Trapped in a Spooky House hosted by @PuddleJumper

This is a super fun TBR event. You make a list of TBRs & your match will pick either 5 or 10 books from your list for you to read.

I had so much fun with this one last year. 💀🖤🎃 I‘m so glad I saw this before sign-ups close. You don‘t want to miss it, so go to Jo‘s page to sign-up.

PuddleJumper 🦇🖤🦇 Thanks for sharing! Excited to see everyone's lists 3mo

1. So hard to pick! But since I live in DC, I‘ll go with the Smithsonian American Art Museum because it has one of my favorite paintings—Among the Sierra Nevada, California, Albert Bierstadt, 1868, oil on canvas

2. Tagged

TheSpineView Love all the museums in DC. You are lucky to be near them. Thanks for playing 3mo
Bookwormjillk That‘s where I usually head too. I love the rooftop and that it‘s not as crowded. 3mo
Susanita That painting is the wallpaper on my laptop. When I first saw it in person, I was speechless. 3mo
wanderinglynn @Susanita I love that painting! I go just to sit and stare at it. It‘s incredible. 3mo

Overall, I thought she did a better job in the Monk and Robot novellas. Here, her attempts to contemplate some rather big philosophical points are adequate but a bit too overt and the ending was too Schrödinger to be successful.

There is an interesting section in the back. Her mom is a scientist and is her science consultant. They did a panel together and she included some of the Q&As from that panel.

17/50

Horror and thrillers aren‘t my genre, so there are quite a few movies I won‘t watch.

Top 3 villains:
1. Man from Bambi
2. The Queen from Snow White
3. Cruella De Vil from 101 Dalmatians

But total shout-out to Hans Gruber because ❤️ Alan Rickman + Die Hard

dabbe And as Snape, too! 🖤 AR! Thanks for playing and sharing! 🩶🧡🩶 3mo

I like how this book is laid out. It‘s divided in sections based on travel wants, such as wildlife photographers, hobby historians, or party animal. I started flagging the places I‘ve been & the places I want to go. It did not help narrow my travel bucket list. 😆

Each destination has a brief synopsis, a recommended time to visit, & a lovely photo or two.

Note: the tagged book is another one published by Monaco Books

tpixie Fun! 3mo
tpixie I‘m heading to Portugal next week… any big recommendations in your book?! 📕 3mo

deirdrebeecher @tpixie If you are going to Lisbon, The Gulbenkian and the Tile Museum are amazing, Drag Brunch is a ton of fun, the day trip to Sintra, where I did the hop-on, hop off tour was also great.
3mo
tpixie @deirdrebeecher thanks for the tips!! My husband loves hop on hop off buses! That‘s good to know about the Tile museum. I want to go there. Rick Steves only gave it one star - and to me it sounded like a 3 star must see place!! 3mo
deirdrebeecher @tpixie I liked it because it is such a part of Portuguese culture and architecture. 3mo
wanderinglynn @tpixie yes! Madeira (www.visitmadeira.pt/en-gb) is listed for hikers; Algarve (www.visitportugal.com/en) for sun worshippers; & Lisbon (www.visitlisboa.com/en) for art lovers 3mo
tpixie @deirdrebeecher yes! A very important part of their history!! 💙🩵🤍 #tiles 3mo

1. Several places, including family and good friends.

2. Lizzy had great inner strength. She lived her life on her terms despite societal constraints, and yet, also tried to help her siblings.

wanderinglynn I have 1 EU sign-up! It would be great if they didn‘t have to ship internationally. Tagging some from the EU & the UK: @CaroPi @Mitch @Hufflepuffle @julesG @Yuki_Onna @Caroline2 @Jari-chan @jenniferw88 @kaysworld1 @veritysalter 4mo
julesG Was thinking about asking you when you first posted, whether there's a EU option. 4mo

julesG Since I'm visiting the UK in mid-October I can do EU and UK. 4mo
Avanders @Cupcake12 @thewallflower0707 I just wanted to make sure you 2 saw this one ☺️😘 4mo
wanderinglynn @julesG yes, there‘s a “my country (non-US) only” option. Is shipping to the UK from EU countries expensive? 4mo
thewallflower0707 @wanderinglynn a package up to 2kg costs 15,49€. It‘s pretty expensive. If the swap can‘t find someone from the EU I would do it. I‘m already missing out on Falling For Fall due to this issue and I really want to do at least one autumn swap. 4mo
wanderinglynn @thewallflower0707 thanks! ☺️ I‘ll keep you posted. There‘s still plenty of time for sign-ups. 4mo
julesG Shipping costs within EU and to the UK can get pricey. To US is even worse. Getting a parcel, here in Germany, can get expensive too. Whenever it's not clearly marked as a gift or might exceed a certain amount, you have to pay import tax (value added tax) on the value of the content and(!!!) postage amount printed on the parcel. So, to be honest, my hesitation to join the swap was far more due to the customs problem. 4mo
Caroline2 Thanks for the tag but I'm afraid I wont be taking part in swaps this year. 4mo
wanderinglynn @julesG totally understand. 4mo
Jari-chan Thank you for tagging me as well. I've been thinking if I should join or not, but swaps stress me out too much (for many reasons), that's why I haven't been joining any. If there's another way I could help out, just ask me 😊 3mo
wanderinglynn @Jari-chan I totally understand. The decision of what to send always stresses me out too. 3mo
