What I'm Reading: #Halloween #Ghosts & #Haunted Stories

 Halloween is coming! I'm getting in the spooky mood with some interesting reads perfect for fall! (No, I'm not too early! Leaves are starting to fall here in the Midwest so it's getting near time. Even the stores have Halloween displays out already!)

I'm reading a pre-release ARC of Literally Dead and a copy of The House on Linden Way. I'll have independent reviews of both soon!  It's been awhile since I've done this, so I'm also planning some Halloween and October reading lists so stay tuned for that!

 The House on Linden Way, Elizabeth Maria Naranjo - While passing through her hometown a decade after she left, Amber Blake impulsively revisits her old house on Linden Way. She only means to stay a moment, to show her three-year-old daughter Bee the place where she grew up. But when the kindly new owners invite them inside, Amber cannot resist.

Soon Bee is missing, the owners have disappeared, and Amber finds herself in a houseful of ghosts. Time takes on new meaning as she loses herself in living memories and a past that does not wish to be forgotten.
