I can't write books so I review them instead
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…
I’ve seen this book on numerous reading lists and have heard from many people that this was worthwhile reading. Since I’m stuck in this genre, I decided to give it a go. It took me only a few hours to read it! Jodi loves Todd. She attends to his every need and is the perfect…
I’m going to warn you right now: this is not for the faint of heart. If you don’t like disturbing novels, then don’t read this one. If you liked Heartstopper by Joy Fielding or anything by Gillian Flynn, then this book is for you. Sarah and Jennifer have always been careful. Where normal teenage girls…
Lately, I’ve been really into Victorian-esque novels so when I read the description for this one, I thought it would be worth a shot. Charlotte and her brother, James, have always been inseparable. Their mother’s death had led to their father spending more and more time tending to his business, leaving them all alone in…
If you haven’t realized already, I like to read a lot of dark thrillers. With a title like this one, you know I wouldn’t be able to resist. Martine LeDuc works as the publicity director for the city of Montréal. Part of her job is to ensure that the city is seen as a charming…
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…
So I first watched the movie because I had no idea that the movie was based off of a book. Also, I really love Daniel Radcliffe (die-hard Harry Potter fan here)! I had to wait quite a while to get a copy of the book and read it but I didn’t rewatch the movie after…
After reading Room, I decided to try more Emma Donoghue books. So here is my review: All Mary wants is to be rich and have beautiful dresses. She doesn’t want to wear her sack dresses and go to Charity school. She does not want to go into service and work as a maid; nor does…
