Hello sunshines!! It is FINALLY the end of the week and man, am I relieved!! Friday Finds is a meme hosted by @adailyrhythm.

They do not have to be books you purchased and they could’ve been found anywhere — bookstores, online, library, etc. Here are my most recent finds:

Unless they have been written…

It all started on the day that I saw my first ghost – and the ghost saw me. Now there are ghosts everywhere and they won’t leave me alone. To top it all off, I somehow got myself locked up in Lyle House, a “special home” for troubled teens. Yet the home isn’t what it seems…

A teen plunges into a downward spiral of addiction in this classic cautionary tale.

After you’ve had it, there isn’t even life without drugs….
