The Forgotten Dead | Jordan L. Hawk

To keep the funding he needs to continue his paranormal research, Nigel is willing to work w/ a genuine medium & investigate a house he may have deeper connections to.

This was a perfect Halloween read. Spooky ghosts, great banter w/ a fun team of characters, & a seance that can‘t possibly go wrong. The romance proceeded a little quickly for me, but I was enamored w/ the whole cast & intrigued by the hints of backstory. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

This is a fun modern reimagining of Sleepy Hollow. It was a bit silly, in a good way, with curses and evil magic to defeat. And a talking pumpkin head of course. I loved the main trio of friends, they each brought something to the group.

The Bell in the Fog | Lev AC Rosen

I loved Lev AC Rosen‘s LAVENDER HOUSE so much I immediately requested the rest of the series. The fourth one‘s still in processing, but I was able to pick up the second & third books today, along with another Remixed Classic and Stephanie Butland‘s latest book. Then I grabbed some Zadie Smith off the shelf, because I need more nonfiction in my life, and left a couple of puzzles in exchange for this one.

5feet.of.fury I love that series! 22h
xicanti @5feet.of.fury I‘m excited to read on. 21h

Okay, so, complicated feelings here because shared-ish personal experience, and also books for/about teenagers often don't hit right for me lately. I think it'd have been pretty important to me 10 years ago, and it feels honest and messy in a way teenagers often are. This is kinda... a theoretical pick. An I-know-it'd-be-a-pick-for-someone-not-quite-Present-Me.

Managed to read this during sprints so that was fun!

This is a lot denser than the first book. There is so much mythology and information that it got a little bit overwhelming.

I'm excited to see what happens next after that cliffhanger.

As I kinda feared, this is *very* teenage and I am not at a point in my life where I find that very interesting... I guess we'll see how this goes.

willaful The story was interesting enough for me, though I totally know what you mean. 3d
shanaqui @willaful I'm finding that the set-up has some slightly uncomfortable parallels (I was outed as “a lesbian“ -- not really accurate but close enough to be difficult -- at school based on what I thought was private online stuff), so... I'm not actually sure how that affects my desire to read this! Current status: feeling weird about it. 3d
willaful @shanaqui ah, understood. 3d
