Sci.fi/own

I did feel like I was thrown into the middle of a story. Nomad is on the run and jumps from planet to planet to escape some bad guys. And this planet sucks. You have to be on the move constantly escaping the sun. It is so powerful that it melts everything in its path. Luckily the planet is small but yes run run run around the planet.

And a crazy guy wants to rule everyone. He also leaves people to burn to death and then collect their souls to power the machines that take them across the world.

Nomad must save the planet....

Interesting world. Scary world. I enjoyed the story, but at the same time. Maybe I am like beginning to tire, everything is good, but not fantastic anymore

Years ago he had comrades in arms and a cause to believe in, but now the man who calls himself Nomad knows only a life on the run. Forced to hop from world to world in the Cosmere whenever the relentless Night Brigade gets too close, Nomad lands on a new planet and is instantly caught up in the struggle between a tyrant and the rebels who want only to escape being turned into mindless slaves-all under the constant threat of a sunrise whose heat will melt the very stones. Unable to understand the language, can he navigate the conflict and gain enough power to leap offworld before his mind or body pay the ultimate price?

The Haunting of Ashburn House by Darcy Coates

Horror/borrowed

If your house starts feeling creepy, if birds flee your house, if the dead seem to move, get the F OUT!

Adrienne is out of luck, money and a place to live so when she inherits an house she goes there at once. Sure the house seems creepy, locals thinks it is haunted, and her unknown great aunt´s family were all slaughtered there....yes get the F OUT Adrienne!

The houses is filled with messages like your family is dead....no mirrors!...light a candle on Friday. But who cares about that. Oh you should care Adrienne, you should care.

Things get darker and darker, until they are so dark there is no way to escape anymore. It is just Adrienne and her cat and whatever there is in that house.

I enjoyed it. It starts of with not much happening, then it gets a bit eerie, and then it gets creepy and scary.

There's something wrong with Ashburn House...

The ancient building has been the subject of rumours for close to a century. Its owner, Edith, refused to let guests inside and rarely visited the nearby town.

Following Edith's death, her sole surviving relative, Adrienne, inherits the property. Adrienne's only possessions are a suitcase of luggage, twenty dollars, and her pet cat. Ashburn House is a lifeline she can't afford to refuse.

Adrienne doesn't believe in ghosts, but it's hard to ignore the unease that grows as she explores her new home. Strange messages have been etched into the wallpaper, an old grave is hidden in the forest behind the house, and eerie portraits in the upstairs hall seem to watch her every movement.

As she uncovers more of the house's secrets, Adrienne begins to believe the whispered rumours about Ashburn may hold more truth than she ever suspected. The building has a bleak and grisly past, and as she chases the threads of a decades-old mystery, Adrienne realises she's become the prey to something deeply unnatural and intensely resentful.

Only one thing is Ashburn's dead are not at rest.

Historical mystery romance /own

I really enjoyed her books so I wanted to try this series too, and, well it was good, just not AS great as her other timetravel or her thriller books. Just like when I read her romance and it was meh.

Bronwyn inherits a house, a house that made her timetravel as a kid, a house that made her see ghosts. And so she goes back in time and this time meets the boy she played as a grown man. William is the owner of the manor house and townspeople find him weird and tell tales...

Something is going on. There is an angry ghost, scared ghosts. And Brownwyn is falling for William.

I did like it, but not as much. I could continue, but eh, I will rather use my credits on new things. As there are new people that time travels in the next one.

Thorne Manor has always been haunted...and it has always haunted Bronwyn Dale. As a young girl, Bronwyn could pass through a time slip in her great-aunt’s house, where she visited William Thorne, a boy her own age, born two centuries earlier. After a family tragedy, the house was shuttered and Bronwyn was convinced that William existed only in her imagination. Now, twenty years later Bronwyn inherits Thorne Manor. And when she returns, William is waiting.

William Thorne is no longer the boy she remembers. He’s a difficult and tempestuous man, his own life marred by tragedy and a scandal that had him retreating to self-imposed exile in his beloved moors. He’s also none too pleased with Bronwyn for abandoning him all those years ago.

As their friendship rekindles and sparks into something more, Bronwyn must also deal with ghosts in the present version of the house. Soon she realizes they are linked to William and the secret scandal that drove him back to Thorne Manor. To build a future, Bronwyn must confront the past.

Not really, we usually do  do a daytrip and the plans are more like, ohhh look at that sign, let´s go there. It might begin with a plan and then we do more things. Last year we started with going to the biggest crater lake in Europe, and ended with going to this famous beach with amazing dunes.

I usually just want to chill and read
