The Woods by Harlan Coben

So I loves this author so much that I rushed to get my hands on another book of his. And this was just as good as the last one! One summer camp night, Paul Copeland’s sister and 3 other teenagers went into the forest and disappeared. Twenty years later, he is still grieving for his…

Season of Darkness by Maureen Jennings

I read this book quickly but I didn’t write a review for it right away. I guess I’ve just been letting it sit, trying to determine what it is I want to say about out it. I think I know now. England in the 1940s is a chaotic place, especially because of what happened at…

Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell

Okay, I’m way too excited about this book to write an introduction so I’m just going to jump right in! In Omaha, the main goal of every teenager is to fit in. Park has always found that difficult to do. Being half-korean, half-irish in a school with no Asian students means you stick out a…

Bright Young Things by Scarlett Thomas

I don’t have much of an introduction for this review. Suffice to say that it looked like an interesting read. And it definitely was. An advertisement is posted in a newspaper simply asking for Bright Young Things to apply. Out of all of the applicants, 6 20-something-year-olds are selected and go to the interview. The…

The Stranger by Harlan Coben

One of my biggest problems reading any mystery or crime novel is that they are usually part of a huge series. Sometimes, the title that catches my eye is book #22 and then that means that I have to read all of the previous books before I can read that one (I hate not reading…

The Bookseller by Cynthia Swanson

This book has been on the bestseller list for quite a while and I’ve been waiting to read it for almost a month. I’m happy to say that this novel did not disappoint! I’ve been going around recommending it to everyone I know because it is just THAT good! Anyways, with our further ado, here…

Graveminder by Melissa Marr

I vaguely remember reading some books by this author. She was a very popular fantasy writer for preteens and I remember all of my friends buying her books. Imagine my surprise when I found out she is now writing adult fiction novels! I was browsing the shelves at my local library and I just picked…

Prisoner of Night and Fog by Anne Blankman

I love historical fiction books! I actually had a phase in elementary school where all I read were historical books. This novel brings fond memories back to me and reminded me of why I love this genre so much. Gretchen Muller lives in a turbulent time; Munich in the 1930s is a dangerous place to…

Lexicon by Max Barry

This is quite different from the books I’ve been reading recently because it’s a science fiction novel. To be honest, I can’t remember the last time I’ve read something in this genre; I quite missed it all. I’m glad to be able to say that this novel exceeded my expectations and was a thrill to…

Mrs. Poe by Lynn Cullen

I’ve always been wary of reading fiction novels about famous people. I’m referring to books that hint at affairs or at secret muses of famous artists. I always worry that it will distort my view of their work. That’s why I approached this book only after having been recommended it numerous times. Frances Osgood does…
