When an eleven-year-old boy's lifeless body is discovered, all evidence points to Terry Maitland, a well respected member of the community. Detective Ralph Anderson leads a swift and public arrest, confident in their seemingly ironclad case. However, as the investigation deepens, shocking secrets come to light, leaving readers on the edge of their seats.

Sunday Post: Another Year Ending and Other Bookish Updates

I can't believe that 2019 is almost over. I am so sad that I did not get to a lot of my goals this year, I was only able to read 27 books so far and I don't think I could reach my goal of 50 but I will definitely try to do my best to do that. I also have a lot of plans for my blog that did not materialize but there's still next year so I don't feel too bad about that. I recently spruced up my shelves and removed a lot of books that I did not finish - check my post here . My TBR is now down to 456 books which could be better if I have not been adding more books this year, click here if you want to see my book hauls for this year.

I will also try to finish the books recommended to me by ...

Recently, I've had the pleasure of finishing a few spooky reads that I highly recommend if you're seeking something not overly terrifying. These include "Tunnel of Bones" by Victoria Schwab, "The Screaming Staircase" by Jonathan Stroud, "The Raven Boys" by Maggie Stiefvater, "Coraline" by Neil Gaiman, and "The Devouring Gray" by Christine Lynn Herman. Currently, I'm engrossed in "The Turn of the Screw" by Henry James. Although I primarily selected books categorized as horror rather than paranormal mysteries or thrillers, it's important to note that they aren't hardcore, gory horror stories. Instead, they offer atmospheric ghostly tales that leave a lingering sense of unease. I've set a personal goal to complete these nine chosen books by the end of November and share an update with all ...

First Line Fridays - Weird Things People Say in Bookshops

CUSTOMER: I read a book in the sixties. I don’t remember the author, or the title. But it was green, and it made me laugh. Do you know which one I mean? I realized the quote is more than one line but who’s complaining 😊. I also just got this book today. Thank you to Hoarding Books  for this awesome book meme!
