Slade House by David Mitchell

I promise you that when I chose to read this book, I did not realize AT ALL that this was the same author of The Bone Clocks (which I have made a previous blog post about). I honestly did not make the connection until I was about a third of the way into the book…

Dark Corners by Ruth Rendell

I get biweekly newsletters from the library that informs me of the latest novels coming in. I make sure to go through the newsletters thoroughly because a lot of times, I find some amazing novels like The Library at Mount Char. This book is also something that I found through the online newsletter and I…

Help For the Haunted by John Searles

I have literally been waiting for this book for close to 7 months, which is a VERY long time. Something about the idea of psychics and demonologists is just so enticing that I can’t help but grab any book on that topic. This novel is no exception. Sylvie’s parents have an unusual career: they are…

The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater

When I initially started reading this novel, I had no idea that it was part of a series; I was hoping to read a standalone novel as it would be easier to move on to the next book. However, after reading this book, I am so glad that it is part of a series and…

A Madness So Discreet by Mindy McGinnis

Remember how I had mentioned that I had placed a bunch of books on hold in the hopes that they would become available during my Christmas break from school? Well, lucky for me, I got them all now. Two days before school starts. Hooray. I’m hoping you can sense the sarcasm here. Anyways, I’m going…

The Winter People by Jennifer McMahon

I’ve been feeling pretty antsy while reading and it may be because I am looking for a change in genre. So I decided to borrow this “horror”/supernatural style novel on a whim and give it a go. It wasn’t a totally random choice as I was recommended it based on my interests from some reading…
