Slade House by David Mitchell

I promise you that when I chose to read this book, I did not realize AT ALL that this was the same author of The Bone Clocks (which I have made a previous blog post about). I honestly did not make the connection until I was about a third of the way into the book…

Dark Corners by Ruth Rendell

I get biweekly newsletters from the library that informs me of the latest novels coming in. 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…

Help For the Haunted by John Searles

I have literally been waiting for this book for close to 7 months, which is a VERY long time. Something about the idea of psychics and demonologists is just so enticing that I can’t help but grab any book on that topic. This novel is no exception. Sylvie’s parents have an unusual career: they are…

A Madness So Discreet by Mindy McGinnis

Remember how I had mentioned that I had placed a bunch of books on hold in the hopes that they would become available during my Christmas break from school? Well, lucky for me, I got them all now. Two days before school starts. Hooray. I’m hoping you can sense the sarcasm here. Anyways, I’m going…

The Winter People by Jennifer McMahon

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…

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

The first book I ever read by this author was when I was 12 years old and I remember it being a really good romantic teen fiction (it’s been a while since I read it so I may be wrong). When I was recommended this novel, for some reason, I found myself hesitant. Maybe the…

The Serpent Papers by Jessica Cornwell

This is a book that I picked up on a whim when I stopped by at my local library. It had an interesting cover and the short blurb about it was intriguing. So despite my exam stress and course deadlines, I decided to take the leap and read this novel. Here is my review and…

Black Feathers by Robert J. Wiersema

So I’m not a very smart person. I say this because I spent a big chunk of yesterday reading this novel instead of studying for my upcoming (and very important) test on Tuesday, which I’m now probably going to fail. BUT I JUST COULDN’T STOP READING!!! So at the end of the day, I have…

Pretty Baby by Mary Kubica

I don’t know if you’ve read my post Good Girl but that was Mary Kubica’s first novel! I quite liked that and I was pleasantly surprised to see she had written another one already, so of course I had to read it! Heidi Wood is an extremely charitable woman: she works in a nonprofit organization, brings in…
