TOP 13 CREEPIEST THINGS ABOUT AGROMOND CASTLE


13. The bats…until you realize they’re friendly.


12. The corridor of spiders’ webs


11. The cold, damp mustiness that seems to crawl under your skin


10. Everything rotting; worm holes in the woodwork, clumps of granite falling from the ceiling, the mirrors getting tarnished and blotchy. (Impossible for putting on makeup.)


9. Too much spleen in the Entrail Soup making it way too slimy.


8. The Pickle Corridor, with its walls glistening black with mold and shelves of bottled gherkins that look like severed limbs.


7. The decrepit old servant Drudge. (Or  so you might think.) He looks as though if you pricked him with a pin, yellow stuff would ooze out.


6. The Agromond motto carved about the Lush Room fireplace: Mordus Aderit. Which means “Mord is Everywhere”. “Mord” being a word for “death”, that’s pretty creepy.


5. The dungeons, especially the dungeons of bones, and the one you might get thrown into.
4. Feeling as though you’re being watched all the time. (You probably are.)


3. The Ceremonies. All those scary entities they summon. Very wearing on your nerves.


2. The Agromonds, especially Shade. And you can never be sure whether Nocturna Agromond is smiling at you or planning to do something really evil.


And the number one creepiest thing at Agromond Castle: (Drum roll, please. Or bone-rattle.)


1. Waking up to the sound of screaming. Though it might just be in you, because of all the creepy things you’ve seen there.


Or maybe it was all in your dreams.

Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell

Rating: 5/5 Stars Genre: Realistic Fiction Release Date: 2/26/2013 Add to Goodreads About the Book: Eleanor and Park are both misfits. When new girl Eleanor sits next to Park on the bus, they don't want anything to do with each other. But over the course of the school year, things change. It starts with comic books and becomes a friendship and a romance that the two will never forget. You never forget your first love. GreenBeanTeenQueen Says: Have you ever had a book sit on your shelf that you've heard so much hype about? And you think that books sounds like it would be right up your alley, but you're in a reading slump and you're afraid to give it a try unless it fails? I knew Eleanor and Park sounded like my perfect book, but I was in such an after committee slump that I even though I knew this book would help, I just didn't want to be disappointed. I should have known better because Eleanor and Park was perfect and everything that I had hoped it wou

Post Downton Abbey Reading List

Downton Abbey is over (with a shocking and frustrating ending!) and now I'm suffering Downton Abbey withdrawal. I've got a reading list full of books that I hope will satisfy my post-Downton Abbey cravings and I thought I'd share what's in my pile and get suggestions for other after Downton reads. Here's what I hope to be reading this year (a mix of YA and adult titles):                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  A couple Julian Fellowes reads:                And a few re-reads:                    Edited to add: What's on your Post-Downton Abbey reading list?
