I can't write books so I review them instead
Call me a geek or a nerd but I love novels that deal with the kind of things I learn at school. I love immunology and have always been fascinated with how diseases and viruses get spread. So when I see fiction novels that are about things like that, well, I just can’t resist. So…
If you haven’t realized already, I’m one of those people that loves to read books by the same author, especially if I had a great experience reading the first one. That should explain why I decided to read this novel. The Thirteenth Tale was a really good read and I loved the author’s way of writing so…
I liked this story significantly more than Dark Places but it still wasn’t as good as Gone Girl. Either way, it’s worth reading if you are into the whole “twisted” storyline kind of thing. In this novel, the main character, Camille, is a journalist. She is reluctantly sent back to her home town to cover…
It seems as if I am on some streak for reading books where the main characters are senior citizens. Or maybe that is just the trend. Either way, this book is about an old woman. But that’s where the similarities end. In the other books, the story had a lightness to it but here, it…
After reading Gone Girl, I was really excited for more by this author. Initially, I thought this book was the sequel to Gone Girl and that Sharp Objects was the third book. BUT I WAS WRONG! Dark Places is a completely different novel that is just as dark as Gone Girl, making it quite a…
When I first heard about this book, I wasn’t too big on it. I mean, I like historical fiction but only the stories about royalty. A book on Aboriginals and Jesuits is really not up my alley. But I decided to give it a chance because it was on a bestseller list. After reading it,…
After reading The Maze Runner (and watching the terrible movie remake), it was agonizing to wait until I could get my hands on the sequel. I literally started it today and finished it in just a few hours – I was that riveted to it! The book takes off where the last one left off:…
This is one of those new novels that I’ve been seeing constantly in circulation in the library, constantly tempting me to read it even though I really don’t have the time. Now that I have reading week, I’m taking the weekend to get through as many of my books as possible and this one was…
For the first time in my life, my father recommended a book to me. My father was actually quite a reader when he was younger but somehow, he gave up on it when he got married. I’ve always recommended books to him or given him some of mine to read but he always refused. So…
This book was on the Indigo Must-Read list. Often, when I am looking for a book to read, I go on the Indigo website and see what they are recommending. Usually, I can find good reads. I always suggest doing this to people looking for a novel – but then again, you could just read…
