#Graveyard

Got my #bookspinbingo board done & got to color off a square.

This was an incredibly fun, snarky take on a grim reaper. I love Charley‘s sense of humor & her relationship with her friend Cookie. I also found the idea of a grim reaper helping lost souls find peace & pass through her to the other side a fascinating take. I‘ll definitely continue the series.
Thanks @DebinHawaii for your post that pushed me to finally check my library & start this!

My November #bookspin list.

📚This month it‘s back to categories, including a new category for number 9: A book from a previous book spin list. Since I never read all 20 books on my list and change it each month, I thought this would be a fun way to go back and look through those to choose.

🖤Also continuing my Hollows reread.

✨Added a few titles from Halloween swaps and some titles I thought I might feel in the mood for this month.

#Haunted

I think that thirteen books with ‘grave‘ in their title make up a pretty good #graveyard so I am picking the Charley Davidson series for today‘s prompt. It‘s a favorite of mine!🖤👻🦇💀🤍🪦

If you haven‘t read this paranormal series, it would be great for #scarathlon #teamhendrix or #screamathon or really any October #TBR Start with the tagged book.

Don‘t Fear The Reaper - Charley Davidson is the grim reaper in Darynda Jones‘s series. From one of the books:

“Ask me about life after death.” T-shirt often seen on Charley Davidson, a grim reaper with questionable morals

Still playing catch-up!

#ConflictedWorlds

Catching up by combining two prompts & picking Charley Davidson & Reyes Farrow, her #supernatural #lover🖤🖤They have both conflicts & sexy times throughout the 13 books in in this series.❤️

1. I would love to hang out with Charley Davidson, even though she could very possibly get me injured.
2. I think future because I really done want to know what the past smells like.

4/5 for this paranormal mystery! I loved this book. It made me laugh and I was so invested. The twists pulled me in. Charley is a wonderful character full of sarcasm and sass. I will definitely be reading the next book.

And that‘s a wrap on my #doublespin for January! I loved this book and can‘t wait to continue the series - trying not to be slightly daunted as there are 12 more books 😂😳🤷‍♀️ But seriously, I didn‘t know I needed to read this until I read it ♥️😁
@TheAromaofBooks

I think I need this T-shirt 😂😂😂

I‘m a little surprised it took me so long to start this series. Charlie is a PI, assists her police detective uncle, and helps the dead to the other side as the grim reaper. Her life is a bit chaotic.

I enjoyed this. It does remind me a lot of the Stephanie Plum series and I don‘t think that is just due to Lorelei King‘s narration. I will pick up the next one when I want something light and fun. #Screamathon #BookspinBingo

@Jas16 ❤️❤️❤️❤️ This was such a nice surprise! Would you believe I‘ve had this book on hold at the library for-EVER? I‘m so excited to have my own copy and to read it finally! Thank you - I‘ll write back soon 😁❤️ You are the sweetest 😍

A smart-alec grim reaper/P.I., 3 murdered attorneys, ghosts, a big bad, a fabulous BFF named Cookie, and a red jeep named Misery.

This is one of my all-time favorite series. #scarathlon and #screamthon seemed a perfect time to do a reread. #teamharkness book 20

Book 10 for #outstandingOctober

Charley Davidson series by Darynda Jones

The grim reaper is a PI named Charley Davidson, who drives a red Jeep named Misery. She‘s also named her breasts (Danger & Will Robinson) & her ovaries (Beam Me Up & Scotty). Her best friend is Cookie Kowalski.

A super fun series with fun chapter sayings, like “Genius has its limitations. Insanity . . . not so much.”

The awesome Lorelei King narrates the audiobooks.

Everyone already knows I'm such a massive fan of this series so it's no surprise it's one of my #Top20Series

I have never gone back and done a reread of this now that the series is complete....might be about time for a binge 🤔

#20Series20Days @Andrew65

Spending so much time with the heating pad gave me time to finish up this book tonight. I totally enjoyed it and I‘m not really into paranormal stuff that much anymore. However, I really liked Charley and want to read the next one sometime soon. #jubilantjuly book 3 @Andrew65

⭐⭐⭐⭐ #Romanceopoly sun challenge "Sleuth Street" mystery where title has any words associated with death

Great start to the series! This book was good and now I'm kicking myself for not reading it sooner. I call it a urban paranormal book with a touch of romance. Charlotte Davidson, aka Charley, is a PI who happens to see dead people and talk to them. You can do that when you are the grim reaper. It sure makes the job easier if you can ask the ghost who killed them! No spoilers so read to.find out how she solves the latest murder. 4⭐

Somebody was mad that I wasn't doing what he wanted quickly enough. So, he stole my book and ran away. #HeGetsMe #bookishmomproblems

I really enjoyed this whole series about a goofy sassy Grim Reaper.

#FriyayIntro on Saturday!
1. While I like HP, it‘s not my fave. There are a few other series I‘d put before it. The Charley Davidson series by Darynda Jones (Book 1 tagged) is one of them.
2. Right now, The Good Place
3. Not on purpose
4. I have no food plans although it is crab fest in Port Angeles this weekend. 🤔
5. Yes.

#ScreamathonPhotoChallenge #Graveyard @4thhouseontheleft I actually got this on my birthday a few years back, I need to read it.

While this book has a similar feel to Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series (one of my fluffier pleasures), I was dismayed by the violent portrayal of a sexual relationship. Aspects of the way it was written clearly qualify as sexual assault and rape, even though other interchanges are consensual. I might have been interested in continuing the series for character development and humor. I won't now.

#friYAYintro
1. There‘s so many I love, I can‘t pick one fave—Charley Davidson, The Others, Sookie, Kate Daniels, Mercy Thompson, Fitz...
2. mustard - I can‘t get past the yellow color 🤢

4. Who hasn‘t played? @Mitch @LibrarianJen @Laughterhp @phatsallylee @BookwormAHN

I did like this book. It just wasn't holding my attention as much as I wanted it to. I'm hoping the next book will better.

#FriYayIntro
1. Tagged. Plus each chapter starts with a funny quote/saying from a t-shirt or bumper sticker or similar. ☝🏻
2. Week 1 of #BFC is done! The response and all the encouragement has been so motivating and heartwarming. 💪🏻💜
3. Can I say American since American cuisine pretty much steals from every other kind of cuisine? 😂

Read after it was mentioned on #getbooked a @bookriot podcast (I think?). It was fun and the performer was great!

I forgot to turn my timer on for some of this one, but I think only for 15 or 20 minutes, so I'm not gonna worry about it. It took me nearly a month to finish this book, and I have no idea why. It was cute, but I've just not been in a good reading place lately I think. Anyway, getting a slow start on #24B4Monday.

@TheReadingMermaid
@Andrew65

I'm a bit late, but I've decided to attempt the #24B4Monday this weekend. First I need to finish up the tagged book that I've been reading for almost a month. I know I won't get to all of these, but I'm hoping to finish at least 2 or 3 this weekend.

@Andrew65
@TheReadingMermaid

I definitely really enjoyed this book. It reminded me of a mix between Stephanie Plum and Sookie Stackhouse. I really liked the paranormal story and it was different than others in this genre. It was just a really fun book to read. I definitely think I‘m going to continue with this series.

I'm trying so hard to get some reading done today. I'm at the hospital all day doing tests to confirm my diagnosis, and the chairs are so uncomfortable, and the tv is up so loud, and I'm finding it hard to concentrate. I must not look too hot because people keep bringing me barf bags. I'm gonna have a nice little collection by the time I go home. The book is good so far. When I'm able to focus.

Ever start a book and get an intense feeling of déjà vu? That was the main reason I began cataloging all my books on LibraryThing about 12 years ago. I got tired of getting halfway through a book and realizing I'd read it already. But according to LT I haven't read this one yet. Oh well. At least I'm enjoying it so far. 😁

This book has been on my TBR since 2011! Glad I finally got around to it. This is the first in the series and Charley Davidson is the grim reaper. It gave me a lot of Stephanie Plum vibes but with supernatural twists. I love finding the first in a series with so many to read. Fun book with quirky characters.

#frideas
1. So many faves! Arsenic & Old Lace, The Philadelphia Story, Willow, Beauty & the Beast, White Christmas, My Fair Lady, Run Fat Boy Run, Star Wars, Die Hard
2. The Princess Bride, The Little Prince, Coraline, GWTW, Breakfast at Tiffany‘s
3. Twilight (of course the book was awful too, so...)
4. Katherine Hepburn & Cary Grant
5. Darynda Jones‘s Charley Davidson series

I always have a emergency doggie treat on hand for my reading companions

Over 2018 I‘ve been rereading both Charley Davidson and Harry Potter though I haven‘t quite finished HP I‘ve immensely enjoyed re-exploring both worlds.
#BookishRewind2018

Thanks so much Tracey-this book has been on my TBR forever-years! And thank you Tabitha-I haven‘t heard of this but it sounds right up my alley! Thank you both so much for your kindness 🥰

1. Tagged. I can‘t seem to stop talking about this series lately.
2. Horror, never read it, real life is scary enough
3. Do dust bunnies count? They don‘t have names.
4. As of 2016 223,000 (thanks google)

#SundaySurvey @alisonrose

-Tagged. Charley is one of my all time favorite characters and I‘m epically sad that the next book to come out in this series will be the last.
-Christine Feehan. To date I have read 60 of her books which is far past any other author I read regularly
- The Fosters. Callie has a fairy godmother 🧚‍♂️ or four leaf clover 🍀or something
- Feta Cheese or Filet Mignon or some dish that can involve both?
