Wildcard Wednesday How to sell a haunted house by Grady Hendrix

 I like the informative, intense beginning to this story and I really feel for Louise. It is very real. A good strong start.


Emotionally, this book is written in a very real way. I love the rawness of it. On top of this is also an intriguing story. And all I can say is, it seems, the dolls know what they want, the TV. i am spooked already, even from the mention of seeing the dolls on the walk through.


This is a really good story but it does remind me of a very bad version of Toy Story with Tom Hanks. And all I can say is, I don’t like Mark, that is it for now.


I thought that chapter 7 started with Louise having some sort of dream but it turned out to be perfect. I’m still not sure about Mark. i can see why she reacted as she did in the moment. I hope she isn’t rash although it is his life. This is overwhelming now.


Well that was a sad twist. So now what? I have no idea where this story is going now, as the title says/implies ‘Selling a house’. This, I would believe, implies both would sell it. Again, now what? I now see. It makes sense. I love it.


I still love this book. However, free or not now free of the house, Louise is now. I am still spooked as to what has happened to a puppet. I keep expecting it to appear, somewhere, anywhere different to where it was last seen. This is creepy. I also sadly, feel bad now for Poppy as well. However, much of a future you can have with money, they say that ‘Money can be the root of all evil’. This book is a good example of that.


I don’t want to put this book down now. Well that was honest and open. I do believe in ghosts but I will have to hear something in the house that couldn’t be reasonably explained before I personally would believe that the house is haunted.


You need a strong stomach to read chapter 19. Oh no no no no, this story gets worse but in a good well written way. The shock is really really bad.


I have mixed feelings now. It is great they are talking and hopefully going to get some help. However, I feel it is a bit of a cliche after all that talk/story telling of what happened. The ‘I need a drink’ like that is the go to for everything. Personally, I feel it to be an anticlimax situation, and I actually like the explanation given. It makes so much sense.


You have to have a good memory reading this book. 


What a fantastic book, strange but good. I can see this book as a film as it is really well described for the images to be formed clearly in the/my mind.


Thank you for reading

  I thought the same. So, where is she? If Lovejoy (Ian McShane) says ‘He will get one’ I suppose he will. I suppose, I would say, it depends on what you paid for a painting a nice ‘Fake’ at a fake price is fine, but if you pay a genuine price tag, then you could be out of pocket/at a loss. A mother is a mother so that covers all. A chain is forming. I am glad he was ‘Word perfect’ With a compliment to Lovejoy, not that ‘Old’ then. All these rhetorical questions. These are amusing to hear. ‘George?’ so funny. A coincidence, the same outfit, oh dear. Sweet.  Oh, for the best, Ibelieve. ‘Closed’. That is good. Oh that, well at least the deal was done.

Fun Friday Love Knots Lovejoy

  It is nice to hear about the history of a collectible antique as we very rarely get to know where or why things are as they are. I really feel for Jane (Phyllis Logan) and it is sad that Alex (Pavel Douglas) is saying all the wrong things. Also I agree he should be around more for her to ask. That was good timing. I do feel for Jane it is horrible to watch. Just as Tinker (Dudley Sutton) was talking about travelling in his dreams . i thought of the film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang where Grandpa Potts (Lionel Jeffries) did most of his travelling through daydreaming and all of sudden Tinker spots a character in the auction room called Potts (Tony Caunter). This is a completely surprising coincidence. Now we hear Tinker talk about the interesting messages left and things are getting heated in the auction room. I don’t like that he stopped bidding either, it is disappointing to watch. That is a big dog. So funny poor Lovejoy (Ian McShane) sit down. That is one spoilt dog and that is an u...

Fun Friday Eric Of Arabia Lovejoy

  It is an eye opener and quite true, can something be classed as original when parts have been replaced due to wear and tear?. This part reminded me of the TV program Only Fools And Horses with David Jason. Where the character Trigger (Roger Lloyd Pack) was going to get an award for having the same broom whilst working. This would have been fine if he hadn’t revealed that the broom had had so many new heads and so many new handles. Lovejoy’s (Ian McShane) take on this is not quite so amusing but works for the episode. This bike business is now getting amusingly action packed and cringingly dubbed. What a find. Very useful.  Not the music again. Fascinating stuff. Thank you for reading Sandra
