It's safe to say I haven't been very active on my website as of late. One of the main reasons for that has been because I'm working on the fifth draft of one of my manuscripts. But, as the title of this post says, another big thing that's been taking up my time is reading! And I've read some great books so far this year.
One series (yes, I read the entire series in a month) that I've read is the Tales of the Haunted Mansion series. The books are based off the ride in Disney World, and each book follows the deaths of some of the residence that reside in the mansion, and even give insight to some of the grave markers you see while waiting in line to ride the ride. I'm a huge Disney fan, and an even bigger Haunted Mansion fan, so finding these books while looking for Christmas ideas for my parents was a huge surprise and an instant must-have. I could go on and on about the shear amount of detail put into each volume of the series, or the mysterious mansion librarian, Amicus Arcane, who's presence in each of the four books is just as important as the over arching plot that comes to light in the fourth book, but I think it would be more fun for you to experience it for yourself. Seriously, for middle-grade novels, they're creepy and made me ask "Are you sure this suited for young audiences?" Of course, it's a book about the Haunted Mansion, so toeing the line makes sense. And I'm a wuss, too, so take my opinion for what it's worth. I highly recommend Tales of the Haunted Mansion to anyone who loves Disney and a good scare. I'm telling you, this series is by far one of my favorites. These books got me excited to read again, too, so you can imagine how dear they are to me. If you decide to read this series, leave a comment down below and tell me what you think! See you next time!
