You know those days when you feel both restless & bored? That's been my day so far. So I picked up Thornhill by Pam Smy, since it's quick spooky read, half-filled with illustrations & black pages. Thornhill follows two girls in two different timelines - Mary in 1982, through her diary, & Ella in 2017, through wordless illustrations. It's about bullying & loneliness, with a dash of freaky puppets. I can't really tell what audience this is geared to, but I enjoyed it & I thought the ending was perfect. * #funaekreads #funaekbooks #instabooks #instareads #pugsandbooks #bookreview #spookybook #spookyreads #thornhill #graphicnovel https://www.instagram.com/p/CIJcE2xgSd9/?igshid=1j3fz60u1355

Tinder by Sally Gardner is a dark fairy tale for adults. It's more akin to the dark & gory original fairy tales than the cleaned up versions made into Disney films. There's death, war, and violence. But somehow Gardner has maintained the fantastical narration we all associate with fairy tales. The illustrations by David Roberts were a perfect complement to the story. Sinister, stylized, and completely in black & white, with splashes of red. Together they made for a haunting & spellbinding read. * #funaekreads #funaekbooks #instabooks #instareads #spookybook #sallygardner #davidroberts #pugsandbooks #bookreview https://www.instagram.com/p/B6mIfD0gTpW/?igshid=ooj0l1ttnvvd

My niece got me this book for my birthday because she's all about girl power & she knows I love horror. Monster She Wrote by Lisa Kroger & Melanie Andersom is a fantastic & beautiful book. The illustrations, the dedication, the content - they're all amazing. I love a good naked hardcover & this has that lovely rubbery texture to it. And I love how with each author they provide recommendations of books by the author & books by similar authors. This would be a great gift for anyone you know who loves spooky books! * #funaekreads #funaekbooks #instabooks #instareads #spookybook #monstershewrote #nonfiction #ladiesofhorrorfiction #horrorstories https://www.instagram.com/p/B470VBHgcE-/?igshid=ebbw91yfs0s

My Christmas books stack. I won't get through all of them, but that just gives me something to look forward to next Christmas! But I'm definitely getting through at least one of the Valancourt books this year. Why is it considered an old tradition to have ghost stories at Christmas? * #funaekreads #funaekbooks #instabooks #instareads #spookybook #christmasbooks #christmasghoststories #christmasmysteries #tbr #tbrstack #tbrpile #seasonalreading #britishlibrarycrimeclassics #valancourtbooks #penguinchristmasclassics https://www.instagram.com/p/B5xvVUAAmmQ/?igshid=18d1hwzau2wfq

A disorienting and creepy quick read. Don't expect any backstory or explanations. This is just about the disturbing firsthand experience of one man in a strange house with his family. 🌟🌟🌟🌟 * #funaekreads #funaekbooks #instabooks #instareads #spookybook #spookishbookish #youshouldhaveleft #danielkehlmann #pugsandbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/BqYqSpdne1c/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zhaap6wt3nph

Whenever I'm having a difficult time, I buy more books. Fun books.
