My thoughts on The Supernaturals by David L. Golemon and Spirit Hunters by Ellen Oh. Do you have any recommendations for books about haunted houses? If so, please let me know down below! I only ask that they have been released within the last 30 years ^-^

The Voynich Hotel Vol. 3 by Seiman Douman My rating: 3 of 5 stars Read for the #mangafreakathon I have to confess that for a good part of this series, I was confused. Even though I read all three volumes back to back, I'm cloudy about what I read. There didn't seem to be a focus, at least not one that was obvious to me. There are so many story lines and the story telling seemed very choppy because of it. The art style is definitely unique and even though this experience wasn't amazing for me, I would be open to reading something else by this mangaka in the future. View all my reviews

Trick or Treat by Richie Tankersley Cusick My rating: 4 of 5 stars A quick read, perfect for the season. I am pretty sure I read this one when I was a teen. Parts of it were slightly familiar but I didn't remember a lot of it. This read was really nostalgic for me as I read a few from this author and other Point Horror authors when I was growing up. It made me want to re-visit some of those books now! View all my reviews

My thoughts on the first book in the Harper Connelly series, Grave Sight by Charlaine Harris. I also talk about what I thought of The Remains of the Dead, which is the first book in the Ghost Dusters series by Wendy Roberts.These were the September and October #Book1CoziesClub selections. I announce the November selection in this video as well and would love it if you would join us for this read in the Mystery Madness Goodreads Group !

Love Massage: Melting Beauty Treatment Vol. 3 by Toki Sunazuka My rating: 3 of 5 stars Not sure I'm going to continue with this series. This story is entertaining but doesn't really have any substance for me at this point. I'm also not curious to see where their relationship goes. This volume served as a good ending point for me. I will need to let this series sit for a while and see if I want to revisit these characters again in the future. View all my reviews

The Harrowing by Alexandra Sokoloff My rating: 4 of 5 stars This book took me the shortest amount of time to read of any book I've read recently. It pulled me in from the start and kept me turning pages until the end. I really enjoyed this one though the religious aspects to the story were not something I expected. The main character got on my nerves at times, especially with her attention to the boys around. That being said, this was still an enjoyable read and I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future. View all my reviews

The Remains of the Dead by Wendy Roberts My rating: 4 of 5 stars I really enjoyed this one. Crime scene clean up is not something that comes to mind when you think about professions, but it is definitely an important one. Having details about what that job entails along with the mystery aspect of this novel was very interesting for me. The twist at the end was sad and unexpected. The investigation kept my interest and I look forward to reading more in this series. View all my reviews

I am participating in the 8-Bit Geek-a-long hosted by Lattes & Llamas! I am several weeks behind but I am documenting my journey for you in this series of videos. In this video I share with you my first sleeve, which are Clues 1 & 2. I also talk about how I had trouble interpreting what the pattern was trying to say in the increase sections of the sleeve and I discuss my feelings participating in the #SlipstravaganzaMKAL where I am working on the project as the clues release vs participating in this make-a-long where I am working behind the release of the clues. Which do you prefer, working a mystery knit-a-long to date with the clue releases or behind the clue releases?

Spirit Hunters by Ellen Oh My rating: 4 of 5 stars More like a 3.5 This book took me a really long time to get into. Once it finally pulled me in, it ended up not being the read I was looking for. No fault at all of the book, but this type of story was just not what I was looking for. The older sister and mom really got on my nerves too. I do enjoy my share of Korean dramas so it was interesting to see things I've heard of make appearances in the story. I believe there is at least one other book out in this series right now. I may pick it up in the future when my reading tastes aren't so finicky. It was still an enjoyable read and I am interested in checking out other work by this author. View all my reviews
