Dear Bookworm,
Something strange is happening at the library.
Every time I walk past the mystery section, I hear a book fall off the shelf. When I put it back, another one mysteriously appears on the table. Yesterday, I found a bookmark in a book I had never checked out—and I’m almost certain I heard someone whisper, “Read me…”
Should I be worried?
With Halloween approaching, I’m beginning to wonder if our library has a ghostly reader of its own. Perhaps a former patron who simply refuses to stop reading? If so, I hope they have good taste in books.
What should I do? Investigate the mysterious happenings, call a ghost hunter, or simply grab the book and start reading?
Sincerely,
Spooked in the Stacks
Dear Spooked in the Stacks,
First, remain calm. Second, do not call a ghost hunter until you’ve checked whether the library staff are responsible for the mysterious book movement!
But if the strange happenings continue, I recommend embracing the mystery. After all, Halloween is the perfect time for a little suspense.
Come to the library, choose a spooky mystery, turn down the lights, and settle into a cozy chair. If you hear footsteps behind you, don’t panic. If you hear a book fall from the shelf, investigate. And if a ghostly voice tells you to read a particular book…
You should probably listen.
After all, you never know when the perfect Halloween read might find you.
Happy haunting—and happy reading!
Sincerely,
Bookworm
