I'm really enjoying this one so far. My son read the series first, and said I'd really like it. He was right!

FYI, It's gory.

I always like horror and gore.

I added another one to my September TBR, and I'm really enjoying it so far. There's been a lot of action, and some amusing lines as well.

I think I'll be ordering the second book pretty soon!

I read an article recently about this young author, and realized this was her book. I've seen this book EVERYWHERE, but really had no clue what it was about. Now, that I've finally read the description, I can't wait to check it out! ✌🏼

My parents weren't really readers, so I tagged one that my best friend and I enjoyed reading as children.

1. Billie Jean by Michael Jackson was my favorite song. I choreographed an entire dance routine to it at the age of six 💃

2. I'm thankful for opportunities.....whether it's the opportunity to spend time with family, to relax & unwind, to learn something new.....each one is a blessing.

#ThankfulThursday @Cosmos_Moon

Cosmos_Moon_River Great # 2! I loved Scary Stories, too! I had all three books... that is, if there were only 3. I need to see if my mom has them so I can start scaring my boys a little more 😂 4y
bookishunicorn @Cosmos_Moon Yes! I introduced them to my daughter, and she loves them 😁 4y

Sense and Sensibilty | Jane Austen

Sitting outside reading one of my favorite stories all over again. In my opinion, Sense and Sensibility is one of Jane Austen's greatest works. If you enjoy classics.....or if you're a fan of Pride and Prejudice.....pick it up. It's beautiful 💙

I started reading this one a while back, but got distracted and am just now picking it back up.

I'm also binge watching Gossip Girl (currently on season 5, and so in love with Chuck Bass/Ed Westwick).

So, I'm using my new gossip girls and guys for the characters in the book 🥂

I'll let you know how it goes, Upper East Siders!

XOXO 💋

bookcollecter Interesting.. a sequel of sorts? 6y
bookishunicorn @bookcollecter It's a new take on the classic. Darcy Fitzwilliam is the girl....Luke Bennet the boy.....set in modern day Pemberley, Ohio. Very different, but I thought I'd give it a chance. 6y

Mehso-so

Okay, I'm not completely done with this one, but I've gotta put it down for now....which I hate doing.....because it's a very slow read. The Salem Witch Trials have always fascinated me, and this book is chock full of information, however the length and layout of the chapters make it difficult for me to stick with for too long. I will come back to it though. I just can't bail on a book.....it's not in my nature 😊
