I can't write books so I review them instead
I’ve always been a fan of Joy Fielding, ever since I first read her book Heartstopper back when I was in grade 10. Granted, I haven’t read a book by her in a while, but reading this one makes up for it! 15 years ago, Caroline Shipley was looking forward to her wedding anniversary. But the…

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…
I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this but I absolutely love novels about ghosts and psychics. I don’t know if I hold much stock in them but I find the supernatural to be fascinating. I’m always looking for something that will give me goosebumps and I always approach novels about ghosts and the like…
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…
