I can't write books so I review them instead
True to my word, I did not try to compare this novel to Gone Girl, even though the title gave me the opportunity to do so; all the author needed to do was add the word “girl” to the end of her title (okay, not a funny joke, but it made me laugh in my head)!…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I wish people would stop comparing every psychological thriller to Gone Girl. I am getting quite tired of hearing of so many novels being “perfect for fans of Gone Girl” and I’m saying this because it is unfair to the author…
This novel is part of the Hogarth Shakespeare project, where bestselling novelists take one of Shakespeare’s works and retell it in their own way. I recently read Hag-Seed by Margaret Atwood (see link here: https://veereading.wordpress.com/2017/01/05/hag-seed-by-margaret-atwood) and was floored by the retold version. This made me more eager to get into this Hogarth Shakespeare project and read other…
I have purposefully been avoiding this novel. It has been getting a huge amount of hype; everywhere I go, I see people reading this book, or recommending it to me. I see it in so many stores and everywhere in the library. For some reason, I just didn’t find the premise of this novel interesting…

His passion for social justice has been nurtured by his tension-filled past (and present) with the police. So when Detective Constance Maclean appears in Verraday’s…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. There was a time when I used to love chick lit. I mean, Sophie Kinsella was my go-to author and I loved the Shopaholic series with a passion. I don’t recall when I decided to move on from that…
I gave this novel to myself as a Christmas present because I read the premise before it was ever released and decided right then and there to go for it and give it a shot. I knew I would be increasing my book-reading burden but I was way too excited to care. Last night, when…
Ever since I read Room, I have been a fan of this author’s work. I have been anxiously waiting for this novel to be released and I was lucky enough to find a copy as I was passing by my local library! I sat down and read this novel in one sitting, and if that…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I’ve been suffering from a flare-up of tendonitis in my wrists, which is why I haven’t posted as much recently. While I may be moving at a slower pace than usual, I’m hoping it won’t slow me down too…
