Welcome to Dead House by R.L. Stine
Everything turned out OK for our main characters in the end, but it was clear that the evil wasn’t ultimately defeated and all is not right in the world. So, our characters are OK, but bad things are gonna keep happening to other people. Also… the dog dies. :(

A classic for a reason! It was fun checking out this classic kids’ spooky book on Halloween.

Bookish and the Beast by Ashley Poston
3.0
This was a cute read. My favorite part were all the little Beauty and the Beast references/quotes and the reference to Fangirl made me laugh! This is the third book in a series. However, I did not read the first two and it works 100% fine as a standalone.

Minor: Sexual content and Death of parent
Rosie’s mom passes a year prior to the start of the book.
There is no “spice” in this book but the teen girl characters discuss reading/writing smut online. At one point I think the dad gave one of the girls a book with smut in as well.
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie
4.0
I found this book didn’t hold my attention as much as I would have hoped, but the twist at the end took me completely by surprise!
Extraordinary Hospitality (for Ordinary People): Seven Ways to Welcome Like Jesus by Carolyn Lacey
3.0
There was some wisdom in this book but also some bits that felt off to me. As a result, it won’t be one I recommend to Christians newly exploring practicing hospitality.
The Vampire Knitting Club by Nancy Warren

A quick and fun cozy mystery with a hint of future romance!
Extra Normal by Kate Alice Marshall

This would have totally given me nightmares had I read it when I was a middle grade reader. Proceed with caution!
