Today I'm linking up with Top Ten Tuesday hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl which is all about lists. Since lists are one of my favorite things this is one of my favorite linkups! Today's topic is Books That Include your favorite theme or plot device. I'm looking at 10 Fiction books involving ghosts. I'm not entirely sure if this counts but it's my favorite thing at the moment so I'm going with it.
1. The Hotel Nantucket by Elin Hilderbrand - I've been wanting to read this author for ages and this story involves an angry ghost and an old hotel so I can't resist.
2. The Ghost and Mrs Muir by R.A. Dick - I read this book many times decades ago and loved it and have really been wanting to reread it.
3. Happy Medium by Sarah Adler - I have heard good things about this author and this sounds like a good ghostly read.
4. Haunt Sweet Home by Sarah Pinsker - I picked this book up at a local bookstore and it looks like a lot of fun.
5. A Haunting on the Hill by Elizabeth Hand - Pretty much the same as above but this looks much creepier.
6. The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston - I've heard such good things about this book and this author that I really need to try it.
7. The Dead Guy Next Door by Lucy Score - Somehow I missed this author until I stumbled across a big display of her books. They look like fun reads.
8. Murder Can Mess Up Your Masterpiece by Rose Pressey - I do love a good cozy with a ghost and this one looks so fun!
9. Lost Among the Living by Simone St James - I really enjoy this author and this book is a bit of an older one of hers but looks wonderfully Gothic-y.
10. The Christmas Guest by Peter Swanson - I really loved the one book I've read by this author and this looks like it involves some potentially haunted woods so that sounds goof.
What ghostly books are on your TBR?
The Ghost and Mrs Muir, I would like to read that. Do you remember the tv show from way back starring Hope Lange? I liked that show.
ReplyDeleteHow about the movie? 1947 starring Rex Harrison and Gene Tierney, I'll have to rewatch it, After I read the book. I had no idea it was based on a novel.
ReplyDeleteI don't go looking for ghosts but when they turn up I don't mind. Thinking of a cozy mystery series or two and of course Nora Roberts ones that have ghosts in them.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind ghosts either. Probably a good thing since I like the Gothic-type books. I've not read any of these, but hope you enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteFun choice! I do love a good ghost story. And Lost Among the LIving and Happy Medium are two favs of mine, too. :D
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic list and I like ghosts!
