Currently reading #thedeadgirlsofhysteriahall . It is a horror story and it will be very popular to our readers this year. I have read some "cheesy" horror books before but this one is GOOD! It is a dark story but I am looking for a bright ending. Review will be posted soon be checking for it. On a different note I have stalled out on new followers. I haven't had anyone new for awhile.

School will be back in session soon and we want to share the love of books and the library with everyone. #yaliterature #bookstagram #middlegrade #gjhslibrary #sequoyahbooks #katiealender #summerreading
