Let the Right One In | John Ajvide Lindqvist

This was a very dark gritty horror. I can‘t say it wasn‘t well done, but I will say I wanted to be done reading it atleast 100 pages before it ended. it was endlessly gory & the bullying Oskar experienced was stomach turning. I‘m not typically squeamish but it got to be ALOT. I love a gross ugly vampire story & the atmospheric mystery surrounding Oskar‘s neighbor delivered for sure.

ShyBookOwl This was my favourite book for years, but I know there's no way I could read it now that I have a son. It's a tough read but soooo powerful. The movie adaptations (Swedish of same title, and American called Let Me In) are more my pace now 😅 2d
5feet.of.fury @ShyBookOwl I think that might be part of it for me, pregnancy hormones & impending motherhood is making me soft 😅 I have owned the American version on DVD since it came out and have never watched it, and I might never after this 🤣 2d

BookmarkTavern Sounds intense! 2d
ShyBookOwl @5feet.of.fury 🤣 I promise all the MOST intense stuff has been removed from the American version (and a lot of it from the aswedish one too) 2d
ShyBookOwl @5feet.of.fury Also, congrats on impending motherhood 🤗 2d
5feet.of.fury @ShyBookOwl I hope they took out the cats 😩 2d
ShyBookOwl @5feet.of.fury lol there is a cat attack scene in the Swedish movie, but I don't think it's in the American one 1d

Really enjoyed this one! When a famous Scottish rock star is found murdered in the quaint little village where he grew up, Emilia, the town doctor and coroner, works with the beloved constable, Ewan, on the investigation. But when Ewan becomes the prime suspect, Emilia puts her plans to enjoy the village‘s holiday festivities on hold to clear his name, and find the real killer.

This is the third installment in The Bride series. Loved the story and the characters. This feels like the end of the series but there is one book about these characters which I am excited to read. 4.5⭐️

I loved this one. The characters were so well written and that surprise at the end will have you gasping.

A little ghost is scaring all the wee orphans! But the little ghost (and his little blankie) learns that it‘s much more fun, and less lonely, to play with the orphans instead. And guess who gets to stay at the orphanage now? Extremely cute story and artwork.

Magic exists. A magician might have time magic, or ink magic, or ceramics magic. It makes their craft better than the “artless,” or non-magical people. Sylvia might have silver magic. Unsure, she seeks advice from the well-regarded magical Glass family but is soon part of a kidnapping and murder mystery, while also becoming the eponymous librarian. She also quickly falls for the Glass heir, but alas, he‘s engaged. This is an entertaining first ⬇️

Texreader in a series involving the magical family Glass‘s library, which houses rare books on magic. I‘m very tempted to continue the series. I read this book to complete the #letterL for #litsyatoz 1y
CoffeeK8 I loved this book! 1y

CoffeeK8 @Texreader not yet, but the next book is on my summer TBR 1y
Texreader @CoffeeK8 I‘m thinking I need to read it too. 1y
CoffeeK8 @Texreader agreed! I‘m trying to read down some of my already owned books before I buy more but if you‘re reading the next one let me know and I‘ll Buddy read with you. I love an excuse to get more books 1y
Texreader @CoffeeK8 I‘d love that! I need to finish one of my other books in progress first. I‘ll let you know 1y

Inspired by the childhood of Activist Dolores Huerta, this #PictureBook follows young Lola as she learns the power of her voice and making decisions and taking actions that help those who need help. I like the positive message that it takes one voice to make a difference, no matter who you are. Very uplifting. #BBRC #LetterL
