LOHF Day 2: Haunted

Hi everyone. Can you believe I am posting three days in a row? I can hardly believe it myself. Maybe next I'll even write the three reviews that are looming over my head!

It's day #2 of our Ladies of Horror Fiction challenge and I hope you can join us to showcase horror fiction written by the ladies. Today's prompt is "Haunted". If you're looking to add to your haunted horror pile you'll want to see the rest of the posts by using the #LadiesOfHorrorFiction hashtag at Twitter & Instagram.

Here's my picture of the day:


My picture for haunting features The Harrowing by Alexandra Sokoloff. I haven't read it but I peeked over at Goodreads and noticed my friends have given it 1, 3, 4 & 5 stars. Maybe I’m strange but I love it when a book’s ratings are all over the place! Do you? It makes me wonder where I’ll fall on the scale. All fives and all ones make me so nervous. But the ones with ratings all over the place? They intrigue me. Have you read this one? If so, where does your rating fall?


“Baird College's Mendenhall echoes with the footsteps of the last home-bound students heading off for Thanksgiving break, and Robin Stone swears she can feel the creepy, hundred-year-old residence hall breathe a sigh of relief for its long-awaited solitude. Or perhaps it's only gathering itself for the coming weekend.”


We now have 120 posts for our tag!! I am so excited and will soon be very, very broke.

    It is interesting when the ratings are so varied for a book. I'm very suspicious of books that only have five star reviews. I always wonder if they're fake or friend reviews.

    Well, my bank account is going to be taking a hit too once this month is over - and I'm only observing all the posts! I totally get where you're coming at with the ratings. I like to look at ratings, but it rarely sways me on reading a book. Everyone has their own preferences and opinions. I put more stock in things when fellow bloggers share their opinions. It's easier for me to decide if I might like something or not.

    This book and the title and everything sound very familiar but I haven't marked it as being read on Goodreads so I'm not sure if I've read it or not.

    I've read The Harrowing (and a few other books by Sokoloff 'cause I'm always looking for that perfect ghost story). This one isn't perfect, but I'd give it 3.5 stars. :)

    I have read a mystery by Sokoloff and really enjoyed it. I would bet that this would be one that I would like.

Tackling the TBR List in 2018: Time to Vote!

I tried this meme last year and though it was incredibly fun I never revisited it because I spent the rest of the year breaking my promises to myself and reading ARC's and review copies instead of my TBR pile.I hope to change it this year and read at least one book a month from the TBR stacks. Michelle @  Because Reading  created and hosts the meme. Here they are, three actual books randomly plucked from one of my piles. Perfect for the Valentines season, right?!  Please feel free to let me know if any of these are not worth reading! I am determined to learn how to DNF properly. The Books              I actually picked these out for a Twitter post in January and meant to do the meme then because the Twitter-verse wasn't interested in my tbr pile. I did have one vote for Blood Rubies & In Cold Blood.  Click Cover for More About the Books             ...
