Getting the Ghost!
This week, we have a halloween freebie. Everyone knows I mostly read contemporaries, but I have encountered some ghosts along the way. These are all YA books I really enjoyed, which feature ghosts in some way.
- Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds
- Now Entering Addamsville by Francesca Zappia
- Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins
- Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
- How to Hang a Witch by Adriana Mather
- The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
- Invisible Ghosts by Robyn Schneider
- The Wicked Deep by Shea Ernshaw
- Watch Over Me by Nina LaCour
- How the Light Gets In by Katy Upperman
Have you read any ghost books?

"I got a rock" lol. Love Charlie Brown :)
ReplyDeleteThe moment I heard CB utter those words, I related to him so hard
DeleteMiss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is one I'd like to read at some point... I've been curious since I saw the movie trailer (but I haven't watched the movie yet either).
ReplyDeleteI have not read the newest book, but I read the original three and enjoyed them very much. I have not seen the film either, but I know thre were some changes, combining characters and whatnot.
DeleteHex Hall! Loved that series!
ReplyDeleteI was so sad when Hawkins had to abandon the spinoff. I was hoping she would come back to it someday, but she has not
Delete“I got a rock.” Hahaha. I got raisins and tiny toothpaste from a house once. Not cool. Long Way Down is on my TBR list. I might have to add Watch Over Me too. I’ve seen a lot of good reviews of it lately.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
We didn't do door-to-door in Jacksonville, so my daughter was very excited to go trick-or-treating for the first time, and at the dentist's house, the kids got toothpaste. They were so mad. Long Way Down was powerful. I heard the audio is great as Reynolds narrates it himself.
DeletePoor Charlie Brown! The Raven Boys was a great series! :)
ReplyDeleteThat and the football thing are what makes me related to CB. The Raven Cycle was good, though, I had to acclimate to Steifvater's style.
DeleteMiss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children was such a fun read and I can't wait to get back into the series and read the other books as well. Did you read all the books in the series? :)
ReplyDeleteI have to read the latest installment of Miss P's, but I did read the original three and enjoyed it so much.
DeleteI forgot that The Raven Boys had ghosts! If I was doing this prompt that one, Echoes Between Us and The Sun Down Motel would have made the list for sure!
ReplyDeleteI felt the ghosts in Echoes weren't real, but hallucinations
DeleteI don't read a lot of books that feature ghosts, but I did read Miss Peregrine's!
ReplyDeleteThese were all light on the paranormal side. I don't get too scary in my reading.
DeleteI like ghost stories, but I prefer them to be spooky, not terrifying! These are all totally my speed. I've read a couple of them and several more of them are on my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
I have read stories that a bit spooky. You know, give me a bit of goosebumps. But I'm with you, no terrifying stuff.
DeleteCharlie Brown... I watch this one every year.
ReplyDeleteYou remind me that I need to read Miss Peregrine's and How to Hang A Witch from my stack.
CB was such a big part of my childhood. A classic! I thought the How to Hang a Witch books were good. I loved the way Mather integrated history into the story.
DeleteOoh nice picks!! I LOOOVED Hex Hall and The Wicked Deep!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
I cannot express how sad I was when Hawkins abandoned the Hex Hall spinoff. I wanted more of those stories.
DeleteSo many greats! I can't wait to read Now Entering Adamsville.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my TTT
I keep hoping for a sequel to Addamsville. The ending really left the door wide open for one
DeleteI love Noah in the raven boys so very much <3 And I also liked miss peregrine's home quite a bit too! I just bought long way down so I am looking forward to seeing the ghost in that one. :)
ReplyDeleteI know you love your Raven boys. Long Way Down is very different in the way the ghosts are used, and it's just such a powerful and emotional story. I hope you enjoy it
DeleteThe cover for Now Entering Addamsville is calling my name -- I don't know if I can say why, but there's just something about the house that makes me want to knw more.
ReplyDeleteThe book reminded me so much of Supernatural. I loved it.
DeleteI still need to read that one by Upperman. I love her. When I think of YA + ghosts i think of Echoes Between Us by Katie McGarry.
ReplyDeleteI felt there were spooky parts in Echoes, but I didn't include it because there weren't really ghosts.
DeleteI loved Hex Hall and it gets so few attention :-(
ReplyDeleteIt was a great series, and I wish the spinoff had continued.
DeleteLove love love The Raven Boys. I read it for the first time around Halloween and it was so very atmospheric. Long Way Down and Wicked Deep are both on my tbr, too. :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely very atmospheric, the entire series. I hope you get to both Long Way Down and Wicked Deep. They are very different books, but both so good.
DeleteAdamsville was almost on my list for this week as books I wanted to read! I have read and liked The Wicked Deep, Long Way Down, and Watch Over Me! Great choices!
ReplyDeleteAddamsville had this great Supernatural feel to it, and I could see it being a series. The very end left the door W I D E open for that.
DeleteAwww, Charlie Brown. The Halloween episode was always my favorite. Great list of books too. I really enjoyed How to Hang a Witch and The Raven Boys.
ReplyDeleteCB is a classic and a character I really identify with.
