“So this is a witch‘s house?” she said. She checked the spiraling ornaments of the porch lamps and the handrail, the silent wooden wind chime, the withered Christmas wreath on the door. “Looks like the place of an old lady that never got married “
“That‘s Puritan for witch” Nate said, as he knocked again.
I liked this book well enough though the format was weird- novel like and then script like-, with overly descriptive action sequences.
She doesn‘t understand why I am yelling at this book and she doesn‘t care for my attitude right now
so-so⭐️⭐️ A millennial Scooby-like gang plus real monsters is such a fun idea, but I struggled. I don‘t think Cantero intended the characters to be unlikeable, but they‘re all annoying AF. That, combined with clunky and choppy formatting (somehow it‘s both 🤷🏼♀️), was a bummer, because I liked the story, just not the execution.
PS. Kerri‘s hair is orange, y‘all. In case you missed the 8,000 times it‘s mentioned. 😬

Waiting on new brakes, because having a car is much better when it‘s able to stop. Also my sweater matches my book.

This book from my October TBR pile is a spoof on Scooby-Do. The four meddlin‘ kids, now grown up, return to solve a mystery. Oh, one of them is now a #ghost

panI finished this book over a week ago, but haven‘t posted about it because I don‘t have the words to articulate what exactly I didn‘t like. It just wasn‘t for me 🤷♀️
pickThis book is a must read for anyone who grew up watching Scooby Doo and likes Lovecraftian monster stories.
pickAdventure. Action. Magic. Badass women and men (and dog). This was more than I ever hoped for.
Still disappointed with this book, still think the cover is gorgeous
pickIt‘s not subtle. Cantero doesn‘t just give nods to HP and Scooby, but that doesn‘t keep it from being original. Cantero has a very unique style, particularly when describing characters and action scenes. Plethora of twists: Some predictable, but some surprising. Highly recommend.
bailedIt just felt like a YA retelling of IT and I couldn't shake the vibe so, I bailed.
pickJust finished this! Absolutely LOVED it! Very original even being a Scooby Do retelling. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Same, girl, same
Still 266 pages left in the book I‘m reading, but I can tell it will go by quick. So: thinking ahead - #YA vs #suspense, #booksforgrownups vs #booksforkids #fantasy vs #thriller #braincandy #scholastic #penguin
I thought it was going to thunder storm so I didn‘t make any plans ⛈ but the day is starting off gorgeous ☀️so I‘m making the most of it on my front lawn.
This is really a two and half star book to me; however, the funny one-liners helped move it to three stars. I thought this book was supposed to be about an adult Scooby Doo crew solving mysteries but it was more sci-fi (think Lovecraft) which is not my jam.
Omg. 15% left in this book and I am biting my nails. Sooooo goooood.

Books with dogs give me life.
And if the author sacrifices the dog, we are going to have WORDS.
This is basically Scooby Doo/Cthullhu fanfiction and I am HERE FOR IT.
so-soThis book was something else. While I absolutely loved the nod to Scooby Doo with the title and the theme, it was a lot to handle. There was so much going on in this novel that is was so hard for me to follow. It genre hopped all over the place from horror to campy comedy to mystery to romance.
It is definitely an interesting read, but not one I will go back to again. Cantero has delightful ideas which kept me reading until the end.
pickOr Meddling Kitten! I truly loved this book with it's mash-up of Scooby Doo and Lovecraft/the Cthulhu mythos. There were literal laugh out loud moments and some good creeps as well as good storytelling. Sorry to my group I am so terribly late with this. #HGPBC #teamCthulhu @TheReadingMermaid @InBooksILive @jillannjohn
My other current read ? I'm reading this one with Andrew. It's been on my radar for awhile, but when we started reading books together I knew I had to get a copy. Then I found it at the used book store with @Blueberry ! He's really into Lovecraft/Cthulu stuff & I kept seeing this called a "Scooby Doo-Lovecraft mashup." I was also getting Stranger Things vibes. Still waiting for it to get real juicy, but excited for the adventure ahead.
so-soI started out enjoying this campy nostalgic tale, but towards the end, I just found myself wanting it to be over. On one hand I appreciate what the author was trying to do, but the dialogue killed it for me. The short, choppy conversations became exhausting to listen to.
There were parts I really enjoyed though, and I loved Tim and his penguin.🐕💚 Tim is the reason it's a So-So and not a Pan for me.
I am finally getting far enough into this book to really enjoy it. Excited to continue the journey that this story has me on!
My current audiobook while working today. It's enjoyable so far.
Starting this today!
panThere are entire paragraphs written in a single sentence like the ramblings of a 10-year old. The plot has way too much going on. There are entire scenes that I had to tell myself to forget about for the sake of finishing the book. I enjoyed the characters, but not the dialogue. All in all, I'm disappointed. :/ #horror #scary #mystery #lovecraft #comedy #dark #monster
This is a fun read that is a twist on Scooby Doo! #kindledeal
@danibolahood I‘m calling it a win! What do you think? #whenyourbookmatchesyourbag
pickAdult version of Scooby Doo. Lots of fun, but not much substance.
pickYay, another library book done thanks to the #24b4monday readathon. It was pretty good, I like the supernatural stuff. It‘s a different take on Scooby-Doo and the gang, it‘s definitely for an older audience than that of the original cartoons. I still enjoyed it.

Why are they just blundering into everything? Kerri needs to stand up for herself and tell to stop their pushy selves and think things through before they walk into a dangerous situation. I get that they need to solve the mystery so they can move on with their lives, but why do they have to just rush into everything and do everything the same night the get to Blyton? 😔 well, I guess Scooby-Doo and the gang always rushed into situations.
😂 @KennethTolesJr and i we‘re just talking about this a few weeks ago... 😂😂😂
#24b4monday 3hrs so far! 🙌🏽
panI would recommend this book for the nostalgia purposes but that's just about it.

#HGPBC #TeamCthulhu sorry guys just not my cup of tea 😜 @jillannjohn @PirateJenny @MaleficentBookDragon @InBooksILive
Just started this last night as my migraine receded and my head finally stopped pounding. I‘m already on part III and I‘m loving it. It‘s like an adult scooby-doo mystery novel and a super fun read. I really hope Kerri and Andy end up together too, I can literally feel their chemistry coming off the pages! 🕵🏻♀️🔍
