Welcome to Litsy!

I just got this book but so far it‘s very suspenseful. I feel like I could kind of enjoy this book, but so far I just want it to get more interesting.

Book 146

Because Wait Till Helen Comes was my favorite ghost story as a child, I trepidatiously listened to The Girl in the Locked Room: A Ghost Story. Hahn didn't disappoint. The story was original and gently-disquieting. Nothing to reread but an easy, enjoyable listen. 3.5 stars

Wow! Thank you so much @TheDaysGoBy for the fantastic #HauntedHollowSwap! I love everything, the spooky books, the mysterious box, the lovely journal and the scrapbook paper (which is great for Litsy photos!) and of course chocolate! Thank you, Danielle. Such a fun swap. And thank you @wanderinglynn for organizing. Happy Halloween reading to all! 🎃👻😈

This book wasn‘t as scary as her other novel I recently read, “Took,” but it was okay. I was a little bored throughout, and only the end really captivated me. If I would have read this book first, I probably would have never picked up another Mary Downing Hahn book again. Gained some quick points for #teamharkness #scarathlon2020 +6

Another quick one down before my work day ended 👊

This one was part of another challenge so it didn't make my reading list but I found room for it! I liked this. It was a quick and creepy middle grade. I probably would have enjoyed it a lot more growing up though.

I loved the book! It was a great book. I would say it is a 7+. It‘s about a lonely girl in a locked room in a abandoned house. A girl named Jules parents bought the house. Every night Jules would see a girl in the window on the top floor. The girl looked scared and she needed help. Jules noticed that there is a locked door on the top floor. Will she open it??

Even for a middle grade horror novel, I think Hahn phoned this one in, especially when Took was so creepy and fleshed out. A ghost is locked in an attic room of a crumbling house when a family with a lovely daughter arrives to renovate. While my daughter was up with the flu at 5am yesterday, I managed to plow through this for #FinishedInADay for #Booked2020 #Winter.

A fun, creative, thoughtful, and bittersweet ghost story. I listened to the whole thing today on Audible. Made my plethora of Sunday chores ten times more bearable.

Scholastic #bookfair! I got several spooky books to celebrate October right! #scarathlon #TeamSlaughter

My two oldest kids read this book and told me I had to read it too. It was a nice quick read, not the usual scary “ghost story”.

My next book, because my 9 year old insists I read it! 🤷‍♀️ #childrecommended

Mary Downing Hahn is a great intro into Gothic literature for lower middle grade. My daughter and I always enjoy her spooky little books.

A creepy, little ghost story. Just right for the age group. Not too dark. The resolution was a little complicated, but overall very good.

middle-grade ghost story perfect for those who love a good scary story!

I‘ve been in a bit of a reading slump and I don‘t know why. I ordered this book on Amazon and it arrived yesterday evening. A cute little ghost story. Definitely middle grade but I love Mary Downing Hahn. The Doll in the Garden was the first book of hers I read. I think it‘s scarier than this one.
