The Silent Twin by Caroline Mitchell

In all honesty, this was one of the books I was most excited to read as an advanced copy. Its premise was just too irresistible for me because it had all of my favorite ideas in one place (*hint, hint, I’ve mentioned it previously in other posts so maybe you already have an idea of…

Black Rabbit Hall by Eve Chase

I just finished two exams this week – and I felt really really good about them. So I decided to go to Indigo and splurge a little on myself as a reward for my good performance. This novel was one that I chose, as it was resting on the recommended table. I usually do not…

Sweet Lamb of Heaven by Lydia Millet

As you may have noticed, I have been getting quite a few books from publishers to read as advance copies. I now have A TON of books to get through in a very short period of time. It’s getting a bit hectic what with school and exams and deadlines for these novels but I promise…

Eleanor by Jason Gurley

I usually have a reason behind why I pick a novel. It’s usually because it is being read by many people or because it has an interesting description or is in my favorite genre. This novel, however, I chose quite randomly. It was almost as if it was telling me to read it. Anyways, I…

“Never judge a book by its cover” – its a saying that I have long upheld. Regardless of the outer surface, I will read a book based on how interesting the content is. With this novel, however, I found myself gravitating towards it because of its beautiful, ethereal cover. It was just lying on a…

Anna and the Swallow Man by Gavriel Savit

I can’t recall when I last read a historical fiction novel. When I was recommended this novel based on my love for The Book Thief, I was more than happy to give it a shot. I actually had to recommend it to my library because it hadn’t been bought yet. And then I had to…

The Guest Room by Chris Bohjalian

A good friend of mine recently pointed out that all I ever read are the newest novels. He said that I’m always looking on the bestseller list for new books to read and review about. And he’s right. I like to read whatever is most current, not only because I find that most of the…
