Review of Beastly Bones

Books I have added

  • Of Hoaxes and Homicide - I really liked the first book in this series so can't wait to get to this new one!
  • Juniper's Christmas - Looks like a cute middle grade Christmas book.

Books read last week

  • Stalking Around the Christmas Tree - Love this cozy series! In this latest one the victim was named after one of my booktube friends she was so excited...lol.
  • The September House - I wanted to like this more but it was just kind of meh, the ending was pretty cool, but I guessed two of the twisty parts pretty early on.
  • The Improbable Tale of Baskerville Hall - A mystery involving a young Arthur Doyle, it was quirky and a little fantastical but fun. The author got permission from the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's estate to use him in a book which is cool.
  • The International House of Dereliction - Slightly quirky, but cute not real spooky ghost story.
  • The Clackity - An interesting spooky story and start of a series.
  • The Bellwoods Game - A fun spooky story.

Currently reading

  • IT - I have made it to 80% but to be honest I don't really care...lol. I am determined to make it through it though.
  • The Curious Vanishing of Beatrice Willoughby - 48% into this one, it's quirky and a bit of a fantasy mystery. So far it's okay.
  • Finch House - I am only 13% into it but so far I am liking it.

What might be up next

 Not sure.

Two Bloggers One Series ~ Beastly Bones

 

I am so glad that Barb and I are reading this series, it's been a lot of fun. So after you see what I thought pop on over to Booker T's Farm and see what Barb thought. :)


I've found very little about private detective R. F. Jackaby to be standard in the time I've known him. Working as his assistant tends to call for a somewhat flexible relationship with reality . . .


In 1892, New Fiddleham, New England, things are never quite what they seem, especially when Abigail Rook and her eccentric employer, R. F. Jackaby, are called upon to investigate the supernatural. First, members of a particularly vicious species of shape-shifters disguise themselves as a litter of kittens. A day later, their owner is found murdered, with a single mysterious puncture wound to her neck. Then, in nearby Gad's Valley, dinosaur bones from a recent dig go missing, and an unidentifiable beast attacks animals and people, leaving their mangled bodies behind. Policeman Charlie Cane, exiled from New Fiddleham to the valley, calls on Abigail for help, and soon Abigail and Jackaby are on the hunt for a thief, a monster, and a murderer.

The Jackaby series is so much fun! Rook is still getting use to the unusual things that she is a part of on a daily basis with her eccentric employer Jackaby. 

First they get called in because of a shapeshifter that isn't like the normal ones you hear about this one turns into what ever it eats. Right now they are cute cuddly kittens but later on things with one of these cute kittens turn into something a lot different...lol.

Later they end up were some unidentified beast attacks were happening and running into one of Jackaby's acquaintances who likes odd and unusual animals. They meet a guy who found some unusual dinosaurs bones which end up taking a very strange turn of events.

I really think saying to much more would spoil the fun so I am not saying anything more. I really like the Rook and Jackaby. Jackaby cracks me up because he just doesn't do things the conventional way and says things without thinking. It was cute him trying to give Rook advice on Charlie, he was trying to be helpful in his own way...lol. 

If you like urban fantasy and eccentric characters you should give this a try!

The Week in Review is where I combine Stacking the Shelves, The Sunday Post and It's Monday! What are you reading?  If you have never joined in on these meme's you can check them out by clicking on the meme and it will take you to the host blog.

So this was a busy week! My 80 year old friend took me to Silver Dollar City as it's the last year for the rollercoaster called Fire in the Hole, sort of sad as it's been there since the 1970s but it's not as cool as the new ones they have, though it is in the dark! I don't like rollercoasters but she talked me into riding it once, she road it twice. I am half the age of this lady but a lot bigger than her but goodness she wore me out! I couldn't hardly walk the next day!

If you want to see some footage from Silver Dollar City, on my weekly reading vlog that is up on my Youtube channel I do have a section on it with lots of clips. :) Just check out:

Have a great week and happy reading!

What you might have missed on my blog

Waiting on Wednesday - Two different books

Books I have added

Might have went a little overboard...lol.

  • The Holy Terrors - New paranormal mystery series and I really like this author so I am curious.
  • Rumor of Evil - Girl accused of witchcraft, then she is killed. Detectives investigate. Sounds good.
  • Crime and Parchment - New series about a rare books librarian. :)
  • That's Not My Name - YA thriller about a girl with no memory and a guy who picks her saying he is her father, but is he?
  • Escape From Mr. Lemoncello's Graphic Novel - I love this series and now I can read it as a graphic novel!

Books read last week

  • The Dollhouse Murders - I enjoyed this ghost story! This was my first time trying this author.
  • Slime Doesn't Pay! - This was a dud, I wasn't impressed. It was a longer book but should have been condensed into Goosebump size and might have been better.
  • Deadly Deep - Catches me up on the Dread Wood series and it was fun.
  • Crandall's Castle - A decent ghost story.
  • Christina's Ghost - The shortest one from this author I tried and the best. This had some nice spooky ghost moments. :)
  • Extra Normal - This was a cute one with a normal girl whose siblings are are all paranormal.

Currently reading

  • IT - I will admit I think my steam is running out on this one, I don't think it's that great and I am bored but I am 75% into it so I keep going!
  • The September House - This is kind of boring too. I think I am coming to terms with the fact that I don't like most horror anymore. I like some slashers and then killer animals or creature books and that is about it. That is okay, taste change. :)
  • The Curious Vanishing of Beatrice Willoughby - I am 15% into this one and it's kind of strange but I am liking it so far.
  • Stalking Around the Christmas Tree - I love this series! The audiobooks are really good!
  • The Improbable Tales of Baskerville Hall - I have just started it so no thoughts.

What might be up next

 Not a clue but I have a lot of books on libby I need to try and get too. :)

Waiting on Wednesday ~ Two different books

 


Waiting on Wednesday has been around for a while and I know that it was taken over by Wishful Endings and called Can't wait Wednesday so will link to her.

Middle Grade


Yash is the best athlete at Robinette Middle School. So good, in fact, that's he's already been playing on the high school’s JV sports teams. Imagine his shock when he learns that his JV practices have kept him from earning a state-mandated credit for eighth-grade PE. To graduate, he has to take Physical Education Equivalency—PEE—which is also known as "Slugfest," in summer school.

At Slugfest, Yash meets the other students. Kaden is an academic superstar who's physically hopeless. Twins Sarah and Stuart are too busy trying to kill each other to actually pay attention in class. Jesse is a notorious prankster. Arabella protests just about everything—including mandatory PE. And Cleo is a natural athlete who has sworn off sports. Then there’s their “coach,” Mrs. Tamara Finnerty, a retired teacher whose idea of physical education seems to have frozen in preschool. But Yash doesn't care—as long as he gets the credit. Too bad one of his fellow “slugs” is determined to blow the lid off a scandal that could make all their time in summer school a waste. And if that weren't bad enough, Yash is in danger of losing his star spot on the JV football team.

So Yash recruits his fellow PE rejects to train with him. Spending the summer with the most hapless crew in school can really surprise a person. And their teacher might be hiding the biggest surprise yet…

Not read this author but heard good things about him and this one sounds fun. Comes out on January 9th from Blazer and Bray.

Adult


Holly and Trixie meet a strange new dog in Wagtail that leads them right into murder. . . .

Holly Miller is looking forward to finally taking a few days to relax. Enjoying an early morning on her terrace, she spots an unfamiliar reddish-gold pooch across the lake. She’s intrigued, but never expects to find the very same dog smiling at her in bed when she wakes up the next morning! Trixie and Twinkletoes appear to accept this cute stranger, but Holly doesn’t know to whom he belongs.

Oma thinks the dog looks familiar, and it turns out the wayward pooch belongs to Holly’s cousin Josh. Holly knew her cousin well as a child, but she hasn’t seen him in over a decade. He’s camping with his girlfriend across the lake. Holly returns the cute dog to Josh’s campsite twice, but the second time, Josh and his girlfriend are nowhere to be found. Instead, a guest of the Sugar Maple Inn is dead in their tent. Now it's up to Holly and Trixie to suss out a sneaky killer.

This is the next book in one of my favorite cozy mystery series and can't wait to read it! Comes out January 2nd from Berkley.

Week in Review #56

The Week in Review is where I combine Stacking the Shelves, The Sunday Post and It's Monday! What are you reading?  If you have never joined in on these meme's you can check them out by clicking on the meme and it will take you to the host blog.

The week was pretty decent and not a lot happened. The weather was lovely, but it has took a turn and the weekend has been cold. I think it's still to early in Fall to have lows in the 30s!

Since I listened the short story The Birds last weekend I watched the movie version which was interesting, it had been a while since I had seen it so I had forgotten a lot of it. Then Freevee got CHiPs and I loved that tv show (I will not recognize the movie they made as I haven't watched it nor will I) Nothing beats the actual show! So have been watching it a lot. :)

Review of Scritch Scratch
Review of It Found Us

Books I have added

 Nothing!! :)

Books read last week

  • All Hallows - This was okay. It has some things I don't care to read about in it and I don't think it really gave me any of the lore around what was happening. Like I know the woods were haunted by why and when the Cunning Man and those creepy kids were running around...well why?
  • There's No Way I'd Die First - I think Teens would like this but I was not impressed. It was okay but a lot of things didn't make sense and some of the soapbox type things were annoying.
  • Beastly Bones - This was a lot of fun! Jackaby cracks me up!
  • Glassheart - I good end to a trilogy! Look at me starting and finishing a series in the same year! Woot woot! :)
  • The Zombie Chasers - This was a dud, I didn't like the girl in this story she was rude and annoying. It was the first book in a series but I will not continue.
  • The Spaces in Between - The second book in the Exit 13 series and catches me up on it and I really enjoyed it.
  • Bite Risk - Start of a new series and a fun werewolf book.

Currently reading

  • IT - I am happy to report that I am on page 805 of 1138, so 70% into it. I can't say that I am loving it but it's okay.
  • Slime Doesn't Pay! - Not as good as I was hoping. I mean for a book about sliming a kid I am 54% into it and no slime yet!!! Just a super annoying kid. This could have been reduced down to a normal goosebumps type book instead of the longer novel that it is.
  • Deadly Deep - Fourth and the latest book out in the Dread Wood series and I am really enjoying it. I just recently started this series and already caught up to the latest so that should let you know I like it. :)
  • Witches Get Stuff Done - I haven't been reading on this one and I need too. I am liking it fine, just liking my middle grade spookies more and it's ebook not audio...lol.

What might be up next

  • Not the Witch You Wed - I would like to get to one other witchy romance before the month is over so maybe I can get started on this one next week.
  • The Dollhouse Murder - I have been wanting to try this author and this sounds fun.

Two Bloggers One Book ~ Scritch Scratch

 

I love Lindsay Currie as might be able to tell since the last book I posted about on here was her newest one. On my Youtube channel I am hosting a Hallowtween readathon where you read all kinds of spooky kids books. I picked this book for the group read and so Barb and I read this one too. It's reread for me and my favorite, go check out what Barb thought at Booker T's Farm.


A ghost story about a malevolent spirit, an unlucky girl, and a haunting mystery that will tie the two together.

Claire has absolutely no interest in the paranormal. She’s a scientist, which is why she can’t think of anything worse than having to help out her dad on one of his ghost-themed Chicago bus tours. She thinks she’s made it through when she sees a boy with a sad face and dark eyes at the back of the bus. There’s something off about his presence, especially because when she checks at the end of the tour…he’s gone.

Claire tries to brush it off, she must be imagining things, letting her dad’s ghost stories get the best of her. But then the scratching starts. Voices whisper to her in the dark. The number 396 appears everywhere she turns. And the boy with the dark eyes starts following her.

Claire is being haunted. The boy from the bus wants something...and Claire needs to find out what before it’s too late.

This is my favorite book by Lindsay Currie, though It Found Us is a very close second. 

Claire is a science minded girl and doesn't believe in ghost and is embarrassed by the fact that her father runs a ghost tour bus. When her father needs help on a tour night because one of his workers is sick, she ends up having to help him. 

She had never really thought much about the places that are supposed to be haunted or the sad history behind them until she goes on this tour. Then she sees a young boy on the bus and things get strange as he doesn't act like everyone else and she gets spooked. 

Then some strange noises start happening at home and the next morning there is water in her dresser drawer. Claire is spooked. Especially when more frightening things start to happen. She would like to talk to her best friend, but she has a new friend and Claire is feeling left out. She automatically doesn't like the new friend without giving her a real chance because she feels like she is being replaced. So she tells her brother about what is going on and he decides to help her.

Soon though the ghost follows her to school where she is confronted by her friend for the way she has been acting and her friend gets a little taste of the ghost and wants to help Claire as well, along with the new friend. 

They try and figure out who the boy is and what he wants with Claire and if you like a good ghost story that gives you some sad but interesting history then you will enjoy this book. 

I really liked Claire and the relationship with her brother and how things workout with her friend. 

This is a great book for this time of year!

Review of It Found Us by Lindsay Currie

 



Twelve-year-old Hazel Woods has always had an unusual knack for sleuthing. Some may call it snooping, but all she really wants is to solve mysteries around town. So, when she not-so-accidentally overhears her brother Den planning to sneak into the cemetery at night for an epic game of hide-and-seek, she decides to secretly tag along. This seems like the perfect opportunity to investigate the claims that the cemetery is haunted.


But the moment the game ends, Hazel realizes something is very, very wrong. From her hiding spot in the bushes, she overhears that her brother’s best friend, Everett, is missing. Everyone else was found by the seeker but there’s no sign of Everett anywhere. It’s as if he just . . . vanished

Hazel and Den are determined to find Everett before it’s too late. But as they begin to unravel the terrifying clues that started appearing since that night in the graveyard–eerie whispers that sound like someone counting, the intermittent smell of smoke, and the cold, lost presence that follows them everywhere, she’s not sure what they are dealing with. But Everett needs more than search parties and scent-tracking dogs to find him, especially if his disappearance is tied to the history of the cemetery, and the lost, century-old spirits that might still be trapped there.

I am a huge fan of Lindsay Currie so I couldn't wait to get my hands on this one! I was saving it for spooky season but I really wanted to dive in earlier. 

Hazel loves being what she thinks is a detective but what others might call a snoop and when she listens in on her brothers phone call with his friend and learns he is going to sneak out she follows. 

They end up at the graveyard where Den and his friends are going to play hide and seek except something happens while they are there a freak storm, some eerie yowling, a scream and Den's friend Everett is gone. 

Hazel and Den don't want to leave looking for Everett up to the adults so they decide to do some investigating, even though they are told to stay home. They sneak back to the graveyard were another spooky storm happens and they see a very spooky looking kid with no eyes and it's mouth sewn shut, they hightail it home but the ghost will not be deterred and follows them home. 

Now things are getting really scary and Hazel's friend Maggie gets in on things and they start trying to figure out who the ghost is and what he wants and why it took Everett. 

This was a great ghost story with lots of spooky elements. I love how the author uses a tragic part of history and weaves a ghostly tale around it so that I learned about a part of history that I didn't know about. I was so curious about the elephants in the graveyard and love that the authors tells you about things at the end in the authors note. I even found a non-fiction book about what happened in that town and I am curious to give it a try. 

I think my only negative thing about this book is the cover. I just think it's to spooky for a middle grade book. It will creep out most adults! Other than that it's another great book by the author! Still not my favorite but probably my second favorite. :)

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a great week. My week wasn't bad but not really anything to report on that I can think of. I am not a fan of the weather right now as it's cold! We had a night time low of 37 the other day and that is just unacceptable in October, to cold. I want my summer back! :) I am so not ready for cold weather. :(

Have a great week and happy reading!

Waiting on Wednesday ~ Hatchet Girls



Waiting on Wednesday has been around for a while and I know that it was taken over by Wishful Endings and called Can't wait Wednesday so will link to her.


For fans of Kara Thomas and Courtney Summers comes a supernatural horror that reminds us family can be our saving grace--or our biggest curse. Set one-hundred years after the Borden murders, this propulsive thriller imagines what a similar trial might look like today.

When the parents of the richest family in Fall River are found murdered by axe, the town is quick to blame newcomer Vik. It doesn’t help that he was caught standing over the bodies with blood on his hands and can’t remember anything about the night in question.

But Vik’s sister, Tessa, knows that Vik would never be capable of such a gruesome crime. Haunted by the mistakes she made that led her family to Fall River in the first place, she sets out to prove her brother’s innocence.

Her search for answers will lead her into a sprawling, supposedly cursed forest, as well as the childhood home of Lizzie Borden—the original axe murderess of Fall River.

I am curious about this one. I don't know the author but I like the sounds of it and anything Lizzie Borden gets my attention...lol. This one comes out October 10th from Delacorte Press.

4th Quarter Anticipated Reads

 


I haven't done one of these in a while so thought I would. Most of these are from series I am currently reading or authors I have read before except for three of them. 

  • Spy School Goes North by Stuart Gibbs - The 11th book in the Spy School series. I just finished this one and it was a lot of fun. It's the only one on this list I have finished. :) 
  • Trapped by Skye Melki-Wegner - This is the second book in the Deadland series. Just think The Land Before Times...lol. They are young talking dinosaurs in exile who must try and save their kingdoms. 
  • Hollowthorn by Kalyn Josephson - The second book in the Ravenfall series. Think Halloweentown meets supernaturals as there is a magical B&B that is at the crossroads of the human world and the other world. 
  • Liar Society by Alyson Gerber - This is an author I don't know but it says it's a One of Us is Lying for middle grade, though I haven't read that book I get the idea and I am curious.
  • The Quest for Danger by Stuart Gibbs - It's the fourth book in the Once Upon a Tim series. It's a silly adventure book and I like it. Can't wait to see what Tim and everyone gets up too.
  • To Many Interesting Things are Happening to Ethan Fairmont by Nick Brooks - The worlds longest title! I liked the first book so I am curious to see how Ethan handles things getting interesting. :) 
  • They Stalk the Night by Brian Moreland - Not read this author but this one just looks interesting, Has some buzz words like winter storm and ravenous beast...lol. 
  • The Night House by Jo Nesbo - Not read this author but I was drawn to the cover. It hasn't got the best of reviews it looks like but I am still curious about it. 
  • Stalking Around the Christmas Tree by Jacqueline Frost - The fourth book in the Christmas Tree Farm series. If you like whimsical Christmas type reads then you will like this cozy mystery series. :) Each book is set at Christmas.
  • Some of Us are Looking - Second book in the County Kerry series. I enjoyed the first one. It's set in Ireland, and involves a veterinarian who gets wrapped up in mysteries.
  • The Christmas Appeal by Janice Hallet - This is 1.5 in the Appeal series. I honestly didn't know there was going to be a second one. I liked The Appeal as it was a different type of mystery, so I am curious about this one. 
  • Mister Lullaby by J. H. Markert - I read The Nightmare Man by this author and liked it and so I am hoping I will enjoy this one too. I have been real hit or miss with horror lately. In this one you don't want to be in a coma! Seems a guy hearing the voice of Mister Lullaby says kill the coma patients! 
  • Murder Wears a Hidden Face by Rosmary Simpson - This is the 8th book in the Gilded Age series. I haven't read book 7 yet but I still can't wait for this one. :) 
  • I Heard a Fly Buzz When I Died by Amanda Flower - The second book in the Emily Dickinson series. The titles in this series crack me up, but I guess they are titles of E. Dickinson's poems so she was one strange gal. Anyway it's a mystery where Dickinson's maid does the sleuthing with little help from Emily. 

Happy Release Day! Spy School Goes North by Stuart Gibbs

I really love the Spy School series and wanted to give the 11th book a mention as it came out today. 

Spy School Goes North is set in Alaska where after the events of the previous books a small group of the kids have been sent there to keep honing their skills. Things get interrupted when an old nemesis of Erica's grandfather shows up. They must do what they can to thwart his plans. 

If you or your kids love action-filled, humorous books with a great friendship group then you need to try the Spy School series! You currently have 11 great books to read!

So hard to believe it's the first day of October.

The weather here has been pretty nice, still a little warm but I don't mind. I am not looking forward to colder weather. I am also not liking the shorter nights. I hate it when it gets dark early. :(

Not really anything of interest happened last week.

Have a great week and happy reading!

What you might have missed on my blog

Waiting on Wednesday - I Heard a Fly Buzz When I Died

Books I have added

  • The September House - I have a strange relationship with Berkley, half the time it doesn't approve books and then it goes and gives me a book after it has came out! Anyway I want to read this one so I am happy. :)

Books read last week

  • Spy School Goes North - The 11th book in the Spy School series and they are in Alaska where adventurous shenanigans happen. This is a fun series. (Print)
  • Extinction - I am so sad that this is the last book in this series! This is book four and it was very good. It's my favorite Middle Grade horror series, very spooky for a kids book. :) If you like Stranger Things and the X-files you might enjoy this. (Ebook)
  • Quest Kids and the Dark Prophecy of Doug - The second book in the Quest Kids series and it's a bit of a silly series but fun. It's heavily illustrated with parts of it in sort of a graphic novel style so quick and fun. (Print)
  • Making the Team - This is the second book in the Case File 13 series and it was fun. Sort of a Dr. Frankenstein type mad scientist. (Audiobook)
  • Mrs. Jeffries Dust For Clues - This is book two in the Mrs. Jeffries series and it was fun. I think I am going to really like this cozy series. I really like Mrs. Jeffries as she helps her boss who is the detective without letting him know that she is helping lol. (Audiobook)
  • Slashing Through the Snow - This is a reread for me as I was doing a readalong with some friends to lead up to the newest one that comes out this month. My friend Tiffany will be the victim in the newest one and we are celebrating...lol. She always wanted to be the victim in a cozy so the author was like sure I can do that...lol.. :) (Audiobook)

Currently reading

  • IT - I made it to 56% which is page 659 of 1138 so not bad for the month. I feel confident that I can get it finished this month.
  • All Hallows - It's spooky season time! The horror group I am in are doing two books for October. I had to get a head start so I am 44% into the audiobook for this one. So far it's not bad but a lot of character POVs and I am hoping it picks up soon. :)
  • There's No Way I'd Die First - This is the horror groups other book and I started a little on it but not real far. It's YA and I think maybe a slasher with a knock off IT clown. The MC I think hires him for her party and he takes his job seriously...lol. I am only 5% in so I haven't gotten far enough to really know a lot yet. (Ebook)
  • Murder at the Merton Library - This wasn't on my TBR for October but I got the audio from Libby and I really wanted to read it as I love this series so just when ahead with it...lol. I am 30% into it and enjoying it.
  • Scariest. Book. Ever. - Haven't actually started but should be starting today. (Ebook)

What might be up next

For October I host a middle grade horror readathon called Hallowtween on my youtube channel so you will see lots of middle grade books. :)
