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…

Hangman Blind by Cassandra Clark

I don’t know where I know this author from but for some reason, her name had a ring of familiarity to it. So I picked up this book to read. I used to really love historical fiction; to be honest, I was pretty obsessed with it! My tastes are definitely more diverse now but I’m…

Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn

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…

Dark Places by Gillian Flynn

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…

The Thirteenth Tale

I’ve been seeing this book on reading lists for a while now but I never got around to reading it. I finally managed to find it and I am definitely happy that I read it! This book is told in the voice of Margaret, a young woman with a passion for books that she has…

Farthing: Small Change series by Jo Walton

I was looking for a book that was different from the ones I’ve been reading now. I don’t know what I wanted but I knew I didn’t want to read anything that was similar to my “usual” choices. So I read this book, which is definitely different but still extremely enjoyable. This story takes place…

Reconstructing Amelia by Kimberly Mccreight

I should be studying and working on my essay but instead, I’m escaping into the world of books. And this book was definitely a good choice! Amelia is every parent’s dream child. She is smart and athletic and a rule-abiding child. Her single mother, Kate, who works as a lawyer in a top firm couldn’t…

Whatever Happened to Janie by Caroline b. Cooney

In this sequel, Janie finds herself with the Springs, the family she was abducted from. But all she wants is to go home to her Mommy and Daddy. She doesn’t love this biological family, doesn’t WANT to love them. But she can’t help connecting to them. Janie is torn and now she must choose: should…

Heartstopper by Joy Fielding

In high school, my librarian recognized my love for horror and disturbing novels (not that I didn’t read “normal” books) and recommended this one to me, saying that she couldn’t get through the first chapter because it was too gory. Of course, I accepted this as a challenge and made up my mind to read…
