Honestly, what were the freaking odds of finding this book.
It has no reviews on Litsy. It isn‘t mentioned in any of the other “also by this author.”
But there it was on a to be shelved used books trolley.
I‘m so excited. Talk about beshert!

The 3rd of this trilogy finds Hervey married to Nicholas but about to have a serious operation. The bk then covers the 9 days of the 1926 general strike, + the characters are polarised btwn avid support of the cause + entrenched self-interest. What is interesting is how scared of revolution society was at a time when ww1 still impacts on lives + poverty is rife. A fascinating period, + good series. And the life of the writer is wortha bk itself ⬇️
In the vein of Mary Downing Hahn (but not quite as creepy), comes a story that becomes unsettling. Celeste is going to spend two weeks at her grandparents' lake house with her brother, Owen, and their cousins Capri and Daisy. Right away things are ‘off‘ - lights turn on and off, the old house seems to sigh and whisper, and Celeste sees her dead aunt‘s creepy face in the mirror…

I FINALLY finished a book this month! This was a mildly creepy middle grade horror novel with big lessons on racism and facing your fears. Well-written and engaging, it‘s perfectly narrated by Bahni Turpin.
Not new to Justice,Loved it! #readingchallenge #poetry #readingwithmaja

Houses
Time & the weather wear away the houses our fathers built.Their ghostly furniture remains:All the sad sofas we have stained with tears of boredom & guilt,
The fraying mottos,the stopped clocks..& still sometimes these tired shapes haunt the damp parlors of the heart.
What Sunday prisons they recall,& what miraculous escapes !
