I love the narrator. The rest is weird. Im getting adults don’t know anything but kids do?

Currently working my way through all of these graveyard "currently reading" books. It used to be 60 ish books. I've read 18 from this list so far. Go me!

Just picked up the book again yesterday. This has been on my graveyard shelf for a while. I'm really trying to get through all of my graveyard books this year and next year.

Really enjoying this book.

Still haven't finished the book. I really need to pick it back up.

This book like all Chad Nicholas book keeps you at the edge of your seat.

There’s an authors note at the beginning that says there are themes of grooming and adult gaslighting. I barely got through the first 39 pages because I’m dreading what is to come. I hate that icky feeling that I just know something awful is coming. I don’t want to read it, so I’m taking a break.

Currently reading this aloud to my 3rd graders. This is my first time reading this story. I’m liking it.

I love haunted house books. I’m also really hoping something awful happens to that greedy good for nothing Mark.

Almost done. This book is everything I was hoping for. Slow creepy ghost story. I should be done next weekend!

Yikes! The cute little house wasn’t arson. Hubby has to know that.

Louise and Mark really need to sort out their priorities… then again, it seems Mark is in it for the money and Louise is in it for the memories.

I started this book a week or so ago and so far it’s been slow, but every time the basement is mentioned I get creeped out.

I was hoping to finish this book this month. We’ll see.

Currently I'm only able to read for two hours while I do laundry and so in 3 sessions I've made it half way through the book and I have to say I'm really enjoying it. It's slow moving, set in the mid 1800's and is written mostly in diary form. We follow the diary of a young girl who loses both her parents at a young age. She goes to live with a family friend and let's see what happens next.

Ooh really enjoying this book. So far its a fast read.

Wow, she is really losing it. I also really want to read Misery Returns 😁

This time around Stephen King didn't help write this graphic novel, but it's still good :D

I've reached the famous line... which is awesome and gross. "On a related subject, Signore Pazzi, I must confess to you: I'm giving serious thought to eating your wife."

“Any overnight locations should be such that stoves could be delivered to make women more comfortable, along with discarded doors that women could stand upon while dressing.” This is talking about women camping. And was written by John M. Gould in 1877. Good lord 🙄

“Hatred is the enemy of justice, regardless of its source.”

“This faith in medicine, our healers, our diagnoses, our institutions is what Rosenhan helped shatter. Belief is what psychiatry has lost- and what it needs to survive.”

“These are the choices we are making as a society, because we refuse to fund the completion of our mental health system.” He’s talking about a logjammed system that fails everyone and makes the mentally ill, homeless or criminals.

“…the nurse pushed the baby’s [Rosemary Kennedy] head back into Rose’s birth canal, restricting oxygen to the newborn’s brain.” Old school medicine sucked!

Started this book a few weeks ago. Loving it so far. Susannah is a great writer and makes non fiction personable.

“Johann had to clutch a hand to his throat to keep the flash of affection that rocked through him caged in his esophagus where it belonged.”

“Deer-legged wolves haunted the borders of the city and often lined the space between skin and ribs with man flesh during particularly nasty winters.”

“But she had unbuckled us, it turned out, only to stall us, so that she and her sisters could die in peace.”

This is my second Stephanie Kuehn book and I forgot how good, but slow her books are.
