Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer

I decided to take a foray into the land of science fiction this time and of course that meant choosing the newest prize winning book I could find! After hearing a lot of things about how revolutionary and amazing this novel was, I simply had to try it. This novel starts off with expedition 12…

The Devil You Know by Elisabeth de Mariaffi

I’ve never been someone who has been partial when it comes to books. What I mean is that I don’t go out of my way to seek out books that have a Canadian background or an Indian background. But when I do come across a novel that is set in a country that I have…

The Dovekeepers by Alice Hoffman

I haven’t read a historical fiction in a while and I’ve heard a lot of good things about this author so I thought I would give it a try. It is 70 A.D. Jews are being persecuted by the Romans and are desperately looking for a place of refuge. For them, this is in the…

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…

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…

The Postmistress by Sarah Blake

I actually read this book in high school and it made me really emotional and teary. Almost 5 years later, I STILL have the same reaction. That says a lot about the book right away. This story involves the lives of 3 women in the 1940s: Frankie Bard is a radio announcer and her goal…

The Pleasures of Men by Kate Williams

When I read the trailer for this book,  I had to get it. It seemed like my type of book what with all of its serial killer creepiness and victorian setting. Catherine is an agitated young woman who lives with her uncle in a ruin of a house. Although her uncle is determined to see…

The Death Cure

I finally got to read the last book in the trilogy!!!!! I literally finished it in 2 hours because I just HAD to find out how everything ended! Hopefully I don’t ruin anything in this review for those who haven’t read it yet! The book opens up with Thomas in isolation from everyone else because…

Bellman and Black by Diane Setterfield

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…
