This book didn‘t do it for me…at all. I felt like everything was just happening way too slow for my liking, and I couldn‘t understand all the technical mountaineering terms. There wasn‘t a lot of suspenseful moments that kept my attention, and I figured from the beginning who the killer on the mountain was.

My review: ⭐️⭐️

It‘s been a while my Litsy friends! I‘m going to start off my first post after a hiatus with a review 😜

This book was very fun, but somewhat lacking. The storyline was fantasy and magical, but I just couldn‘t connect with the characters at all. That cover though is stunning 🤩

I wish this book came with a warning. I had NO idea most of it would be centered around child abuse, and how a toddler went missing. If I knew, I wouldn‘t have picked it up. It‘s not graphic, but still just makes me sick reading.
I felt the story moved really slow too, and we all knew who did it. Wasn‘t really a mystery. I think I‘m going to skip her other books.

Love these new bookplates my best friend found for me! She works with elderly and one of her patients gave these to her, so it truly makes me wonder how old they really are. You lick the back and stick it in the books! My old soul heart is so happy right now ❤️

Loving this book so far!

I‘ve been MIA from the internet lately because I think sometimes a break is much needed for the sake of my soul haha! But I was busy making these awesome house point counters and better yet, it only cost me $10 to make! Gotta love a good, cool, and cheap D.I.Y. project 😏

Went to my local Harry Potter coffee shop this morning in Jim Thorpe and had a Butterbeer latte with a Hufflepuff cookie 🍪 #myfavoritecoffeeshop

Finally getting settled into our new home and sitting on the deck gives me all the Harry Potter feels! I love returning to the Wizarding World every year around this time ❤️⚡️Getting this one finished soon for #teamharkness #scarathlon2020

Does anybody remember this movie?! Just watched it on Disney+ and my nostalgia is on full overload now 😌 +6 #teamharkness #scarathlon2020

This book wasn‘t as scary as her other novel I recently read, “Took,” but it was okay. I was a little bored throughout, and only the end really captivated me. If I would have read this book first, I probably would have never picked up another Mary Downing Hahn book again. Gained some quick points for #teamharkness #scarathlon2020 +6

This was certainly a pick for me, and I enjoyed how each chapter included a personal story from the author. This was a light read, and gained another 6 points for #teamharkness #scarathlon2020

Just got done watching The Village, and I honestly hadn‘t seen it in so long that I forgot what it was even about 🤨 Still, got some points for #teamharkness #scarathlon2020

I‘m going to start off by saying American Predator is hands down the most disturbing and scary book I have ever picked up. To know and think there are people out there that exist like Keyes is simply beyond terrifying. I actually couldn‘t wait for it to be over, that‘s how scary it is. Also, my little man helped me out with #teamharkness for #scarathlon2020. He loves Halloween books! 🎃

Finally getting in some reading time tonight while watching Halloween again on AMCFearfest. I‘ve been super busy lately working on tumblers and these wine glasses to sell at my churches fall bazaar tomorrow. Super happy to be snuggled in bed with a book and a movie 🍿

Woooo! It‘s officially October and that means lots of reading challenges! Who‘s excited?!? I know I am! 👻

This is the first month in a long time where it was really hard to decide which book to select for my #botm. I can‘t wait to get this one to read it for #scarathlon2020 🎃☠️👻

Starting off #scarathlon2020 with this page turner! I‘m usually not into true crime books because reading about serial killers scare the bejeezus out of me, but I heard a lot of great things about this book. That‘s why I‘m starting this now instead of waiting for October 1, because I want to read it slow in hopes of not getting too scared 😱

#teamharkness

My #TBR for the upcoming months #scarathlon2020 ☠️

I‘m in the process of moving (we sold our home and bought another one), and a lot of my books are in boxes right now 😱 So a lot of my reading will be done on my good old kindle, but these are just some of the books I hope to get to in October 🍁👻

When you go to the next room to put your son to sleep, the pup comes out to play. I walked out of the room for 5 minutes to check on my son, and I come back to a chewed up book 😩 He‘s lucky he‘s cute and just a puppy, but I now learned a valuable lesson not to leave him alone with my books. Ever. 🤣

It‘s a gorgeous day for a book 📖

It‘s always a sad day when none of the #botm picks speaks to me. Oh well, now the wait begins for next months picks!

This book had me hooked at some parts, and then others I found the story to kind of drag. Had a pretty predictable ending, but I wish I could have had more of an attachment to the characters throughout. Not bad overall, but not one I‘d read again in the future.

I love my little reading buddy 💕 When my toddler naps, we have some books and playtime at our beck and call ☺️

Enjoying some much needed R&R in the Great Smoky Mountains 🏔 Im settled in the cabin with a cozy book now, and I never want this vacation to end ❤️

Nope, this book was not for me. It was just way too slow for my liking and I was bored most of the time. The author knows how to write some pretty disturbing stuff though! Unfortunately, it just fell through for me 🤷🏻‍♀️

It‘s always a great day when #botm comes in!

Mommy, stop reading and pay attention to my cuteness 😂

Wow! What an incredible, anxiety packed, scary as hell novel! Rarely do books scare the poo out of me, but congrats Max Brooks because you have done it! Highly recommend if you‘re looking for a great and fast read, but don‘t read it while camping out in the woods 🌲

Loved this book! Had exactly what I wanted: paranormal, thriller, and some romance. I loved Broken Girls, and this book lived up to the hype for me as well. 😎

Welcomed the newest little bookworm to the family yesterday! I forgot how tiring having a pup can be, but he already goes potty outside and is super loving! Milo (My-Lo) welcome to the family bud!

This one gave me the creeps! I loved the middle and beginning of the book, but the ending fell a little flat. I‘d give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ though.

You remind me of the babe 😎 My new sweatshirt and on the arm sleeves it has the knockers from The Labyrinth too 😂🤣

So I‘m reading the tagged book and I am completely freaked out! I‘ve always been afraid of dreams and what they can do or mean, and after diving into this book I‘m even more freaked out 😱 I can‘t stop reading it though because it‘s so addicting!

And it‘s up! Check out my little free library on Instagram! We‘d love a follow! So happy with how it turned out!

Such an incredible read that will surely stick with you even after you‘re finished. I fell in love with Lale and Gita, and I‘m so glad they found each other in the end. If you want to read about the Holocaust but are afraid because of all the graphic things that happened, I strongly recommend this book. There are still scenes that are haunting, but the author wrote them to be not as intense as other novels.

My last update until Saturday when we finally put this bad boy up!

#littlefreelibrary

This months #readyoursign challenge was so much fun! These were all the books I read that matched my prompts and I loved every second of them all. Go #zodiac !🐠💦

A little update on my Little Free Library! It‘s now stained, painted, and now all I have to do is decal the sides with fun quotes about books! Hope to put it up by Saturday, and once it‘s up, I‘ll be opening an IG account to update everyone on books and such! Never been more excited in my life! 😭

#littlefreelibraryonfairview

Look what came in the mail!! I am now the proud owner of a little free library!! Now to paint it, stain it, decal it, and put it up! I‘m so excited 😭

I took a little break the last few days and made some pretty awesome tumblers for friends and family! I love the stormy seas one and how that turned out! Now, it‘s time to relax and unwind with a book 📖

I was so not feeling this book. There were times when I liked it and I sort of got into it, and then other parts (most of the book) I just found myself bored. There‘s a lot of books in this series but I don‘t think I‘ll be continuing 🤷🏻‍♀️
