I can't write books so I review them instead
I’ve been feeling pretty antsy while reading and it may be because I am looking for a change in genre. So I decided to borrow this “horror”/supernatural style novel on a whim and give it a go. It wasn’t a totally random choice as I was recommended it based on my interests from some reading…
I’m back into the thriller genre (again) with yet another novel that claims to be shocking and scary and all that other stuff. Well, here’s what I thought of it: Like most girls, Bailey has always dreamed of a knight in shining armor. When her mother passes away, she desperately needs a miracle. When she…
*EDITED: My friend had told me about this book and for some reason she had mentioned that it was on Oprah’s book list. However, she was mistaken in the fact. Nevertheless, I usually avoid books on that list. Not because they are bad or anything but rather because I find that they all have the…
I’m back to my theme on psychological thrillers. I swear, there has been such a surge in these novels and they all have a female lead in them. I mean, it’s interesting but eventually they just start to become repetitive. Either way, I gave this one a try. Dana Catrell is the unhappy wife of…
After all of the random books I’ve been reading, I decided that I wanted to read a good deep novel steeped in history. So I borrowed this one. I wasn’t expecting much, if I’m to be honest. Just another sad story with maybe a happy ending. All I can say now that I’ve finished it…
It has taken me a while to write this review. I’ve been suffering from a bit of tendonitis so it makes writing and typing extremely painful. It still hasn’t gotten better but I don’t want to prolong the review any further so here it goes. Baton Rouge in 1989 is a quiet little place where…
I went back to my “dark novel” phase with this book. I’ve been trying to mix it up by reading books from a bunch of different genres so I’m not just reading one kind of novel but I find that the trend for this summer seems to be thrillers that are dark and disturbing. I…
So this is the sequel to Prisoner of Night and Fog and marks the conclusion of this historical fiction tale. I had previously thought that it was a trilogy but I’m much happier with this arrangement; if it had been a trilogy, it may have dragged on for too long and not been as enjoyable.…
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…
One of my biggest problems reading any mystery or crime novel is that they are usually part of a huge series. Sometimes, the title that catches my eye is book #22 and then that means that I have to read all of the previous books before I can read that one (I hate not reading…
