On the eleventh day of Christmas my favorite book of November was We Have Always Lived in the Castle. Wow.

I am super late posting my #AuldLangSpine list from @Avanders due to the holidays and absolutely not because of a lack of excitement for these titles!! I am interested in literally all of them lol! I had Victorian Psycho so I‘m already almost finished, and it is deliciously unhinged! 😆 Next up will be Heartwood or Mapping the Interior. I HAVE to get to James this year (already own it) and I own The Family Upstairs so I‘ll continue this list!
#12daysof2025 Day 11: yes I only read it because of the new adaptation on Netflix. I am planning to reread next fall since I mostly listened through audiobook
A few excellently spooky stories for October. It's Edith Wharton, so even the boring stories were well-crafted.

pickTwo sisters with special powers find themselves pitted against the ghost of Bluebeard. Utterly delicious.
pickI almost gave up on this and was starting to wonder what people were talking about and then I flipped the page and the storyline picked up and it was atmosphericly gorgeous and creepy. Oh so creepy and the last 10% percent went by faster than I could have expected.
I absolutely loved how much the setting and the house itself were such characters along the Mexican countryside showcasing some of the glitz of the 1950's.

I am still sorry I didn‘t put this one on my #AuldLangSpine list (I thought it might be too extreme for some) because it is one of the most memorable books I read in 2025. Gleefully gory horror, it won‘t be for everyone but I enjoyed it & I‘m looking forward to the movie coming out this year.
pickThis wasn‘t as good as the first one, but it‘s still absolutely fantastic. Her writing is just so good. The chilling atmosphere hits you from the very first page and carries you all the way though. I am also a little in love with Easton.
