Welcome to Litsy!

Cute, quirky, but not my favorite… I had trouble with it holding my attention… it was just ok for me!

I had very different expectations going into the book based on the title and the blurb than what the book ended up being about. I ended up feeling so depressed everytime I read it because what happens to the ghosts and how ghosts come to haunt a place was a lot more bleak and dark than what I wanted from the book. Most people really love Constable & Toop so it‘s definitely a me problem.

Excited for my November surprise book!!

I know it's past Halloween but I don't care. This book was too freaking cute! Little ghost is lonely in the abandoned house and wants a friend. A new neighbor moves in. Can the ghost make a new friend or scare her away? Adorable graphics and a lovely story.

I don‘t know what‘s going on with me these days… but this is another miss for me. It just… definitely wasn‘t for me. I didn‘t really love how it started, how it middled, or how it ended. 🤷‍♀️ There‘s a good piece there… felt like some potential. But… kinda fell flat for me.

Twenty-five scary stays where ghosts check in, but don‘t check out.

This was interesting. Historical backgrounds and paranormal accounts of different hotels around the world.

Death at the Door was a compelling read featuring a quirky sleuthing duo trying to do what‘s right.

It almost never happens - actually, I can't think of a series I ever did that - that I go and read the next volume immediately after finishing the first book. But here? I really did not want to part from Nigel and Oscar. It felt like we didn't have enough time together, so I went and got volume two. And love that one too. There's just everything in it I love and need right now. So why wait?

I read this graphic novel every Halloween when I‘m waiting for trick or treaters. It has great illustrations and touches on Halloween and other holidays and family issues and grief. But it does it all in a natural and fun way.
