Welcome to Litsy!

Ran across this at the library sale today and had to get it bc @kellyann28 just finished it and loved it! Gonna stow it away for October 🎃!

Also snagged I‘ll Give You the Sun - which I‘ve read and loved. & The Tea Girl on Hummingbird Lane bc it‘s been on my TBR!! Yay! Happy day!

I really loved this! I had my husband flip through my TBR Kindle Library and he picked this out for me to read.
✔ Witchcraft
✔ Murder
✔ Ressurecting

Overall a great read. Would be good for an October read!

Weekend vibes 🏖

He's talking about collecting old photos, and I love what he says! "Each photo is like a novel I can never open, I can hold it in my hand and only begin to imagine what's inside-the lives these people might have led." ?

I finished this #audiobook this morning and quite enjoyed it. Much like The Night Sister I couldn't necessarily guess the ending though I didn't find this as creepy.
Quite enjoyed it, will be looking in to more McMahon.

Late for #WondrousWednesday but @DannyHattan tagged me so it only seemed fair. Lol @Eggs

1. Mood 100% ok sometimes sheer chance.
2. Always!!!
3. Do we mean in general? Or while I'm actively reading what pulls my attention? B/c if it's a good book not much. But in general, then all the other hobbies I have, work, life, lol!
4. Probably coffee, water, and/or tea and I'm not a big snack while I read person.
5. Newbies 🤔 @cwheeler ?

Enjoyed this rural multi-generational haunted house tale as well as the way the narration flowed. I'm relying on #horror fiction to give me a lift more and more as the news in the real world gets worse.

Flowers everywhere as I walk to work listening to a very chilly story. #horror

I feel like I‘m the only one that didn‘t love this? I found it very boring. Even the end felt super unsatisfying to me. 🤷‍♀️

This was an eerie, spooky read. There is an alternating time line. Historical mysteries, disappearances and legends and you are left not knowing exactly what to believe.

Just finished this lovely gift from @CareBear - thank you for sending it my way! It was lyrical and spooky. The perfect thing to curl up with on a rest day. :-)

Ohhhhh thank you very much to the lovely @TrishB for the awesome book and goodies!! 😁 I‘ve been wanting to read this book for ages!! 👍🏻 #litsypenpals

Only a few days left on this hold, and I have a long walk to do, so what better time to start this!

Some of my April TBR. Where to start? I‘m thinking My Lovely Wife looks good.

I made some spring book sleeves this weekend and now enjoying this scary read.

Tanya you are an amazing stalker! Great book choices, Harry with the mandrake, bookmark, two amazing pins -Luna 😍, and a huge bag of my all time favorite candy! Thanks so very very much. I am sorry I am opening it so late. I left the house this morning at 8 and just got home 12 hours later but this was a great reward at the end of the day. You are awesome and I am so very appreciative for your kindness 💜

This is my Vermont book, as it takes place there. a suspenseful and creepy read. #readingusa2019

Ever wish you could bring someone back from beyond? Think it would be rainbows and unicorns? Nope. Creepy and worth the read.

Omg....i literally could not stop reading this book to see what happened next. Its creepy and disturbing. If you do not like reading about children dying...do not read this. The book jumps between 1908 and present day regarding witches, sleepers and missing people. Its crazy and has lots of twists and turns that i could not even guess. 5 stars

Today on the blog: my thoughts on this delightfully creepy book I finally listened to thanks to @CareBear and #winterpeoplefebruary (link in bio).

I loved this book. I'm a big fan of ghost stories and McMahon did a great job of still making it seem real. 5🌟 for sure

Last bath I'll take reading this book. Finishing it up tonight since I'm 2 days behind on having it done. Enjoying my creme brulee and lush bath

Next to craft beer and bath bombs my other favorite thing to do while reading is eat pancakes. Nom nom nom.

This was a great suspenseful novel, perfect for the winter season.

Using Ollie as a book prop and getting some reading in while the fur babies sleep. I know their chunky butts will be waking up soon for dinner. #happyfriday

Joined the #februarywinterpeople buddy read and I must say this book creeped me out! I finished reading this in a hotel all by myself and did not dare open the closet.😱 My first McMahon book and looking forward to reading more.

Bubble bath time with my lush eggnog bubble bar. And putting a dent in this book for the next hour

And next up. This is a #buddyread and also a book club pick for February. I'm excited to dive into this one.

After reading the first few chapters of this book I wasn‘t so sure I was going to like it. Thankfully, my opinion quickly changed. Once I settled in to the story I was hooked! The narrative was quite atmospheric, and I really had no idea how the plot was going to unfold. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanks to @CareBear for organizing #FebruaryWinterPeople and encouraging me to finally take this one off of my TBR pile (it had only been there since 2014!)

So my morning (or entire day, really) won‘t be anywhere near as accomplished as yesterday. My plans involve nothing more than reading and drinking tea.

I had a bit of a hard time getting into this book at first, but am now settled in nicely with it.

This has been on my tbr for ages so I thought I‘d join @CareBear in the buddyread.
Good, creepy ghost story. Really enjoyed it and look forward to discussing later in the week.
Sansa got a new bed yesterday and loves it so far 💜

Thanks @CareBear for getting me to pull this off my shelf. It‘s an entertaining (in a spooky way) exploration of grief and ghosts. I liked the main characters in both timelines, and my heart especially broke for Sara. I wouldn‘t hesitate to read more of McMahon‘s books.

Y'all: I dreamed I was talking to characters in this book last night, and I'm currently washing dishes on a Friday night to listen because there's less than two hours left #winterpeoplefebruary

Really enjoying so far!
#winterpeoplefebruary

This seems like the perfect day to finish this north country ghost story. ❄️ ❄️ ❄️

#winterpeoplefebruary #februarywinterpeople

I was going to start reading this last night, but I got about 2 pages in and remembered every other McMahon book I‘ve read and I chickened out 😂 @Callemarie ‘s pick for book club this month!

I was really liking this right up till near the end. An unconvincing character was introduced then the author choose to reveal all, Agatha Christie style, as if we hadn't the intelligence to have figured it out all out by then. Good supernatural mystery/thriller until the wheels fell off.

I haven‘t read a single page of a book since last weekend, so it‘s time to get my reading on. This book seems entirely appropriate given we are currently in the midst of an awful winter 🥶

#WinterPeopleFebruary

I‘m going in ... considering my last book was set in Hawaii, this cold and creepy book is a big change! ❄️🌬💨❄️

📚 The Winter People by Jennifer McMahon
📼 Ice Age
🎼 Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice
#manicmonday @JoScho

Such a creepy book! Back and forth in time from early 1900‘s to current day, the book explores the depths of parental love and just how far one might be willing to go to resurrect a child should that prove to be possible. This was my #litsypartyofone read for the day!

@hermyknee I love Home Chef too! We get 4 meals a week! Here‘s dinner post cooking. Quite tasty. Unfortunately can‘t read while I eat. Almost finished with tagged book! #litsypartyofone

No snacks but this is what‘s for dinner. #litsypartyofone

She moved from the bedroom to the living room but still shows no interest in #litsypartyofone. Protecting the castle is sooo exhausting! And this book is seriously creepy!!

Puppy refusing to join #litsypartyofone. My honey is off to get a 6 pack for the game. I‘ve been reading the tagged book all day. Snacks are all of a sudden difficult for me as my diagnosis advanced from pre-diabetes to diabetes as of this week. Maybe some almonds with cocoa powder...

1) Tagged book, How to Read Poetry Like a Professor, Robinson Crusoe
2) Crazy Brave by Joy Harjo
3) Poetry is singing on paper - Joy Harjo
#weekendreads @rachelsbrittain

Bought this as a daily deal awhile ago and finally started it today thanks to @CareBear and #winterpeoplefebruary. Join us! It's the perfect weather in Iowa for this too!

1) -21F, feels like -39F
2) around 75-80F...but I'd be thrilled with 20-30F
3) 73F...our apartment landlord pays heat...and there's some frost on our walls, so we have it turned up a bit.
4) Sunny & warm so I can read on my balcony.
#HelloThursday @wanderinglynn

Just a reminder we‘ll be reading this for February! Feel free to post lots and discuss along the way (just use the spoiler tag)! It‘s perfect weather to start this! 🥶🥶🥶 #februarywinterpeople

Please feel free to tag anyone I missed.
