Human Acts by Han Kang

I first heard of Han Kang when I read the premise of The Vegetarian. Naturally, I was intrigued and I wanted to read it; however, I couldn’t find a copy of that book anywhere in Canada. I just discovered that it has been approved, and will be sold at Canada’s largest bookseller, Indigo, soon, so hopefully…

The Devourers by Indra Das

​So, I currently have no laptop. That’s right, my laptop isn’t working. So for now, I am using my little tablet to type my reviews. This means I’m a lot slower in writing and publishing my posts. Hopefully, my laptop won’t take too long to get fixed! Anyways, GoodReads recommended this novel to me based…

I Let You Go by Clare Mackintosh

The hardest books for me to read are those where children die. Children are so vulnerable, so innocent, and when harm befalls them … well, it just hurts me to hear about it. There are times when I’ve chosen not to read a really good book because the topic has been too difficult for me…

The Girls by Emma Cline

I’ve only read one book about a cult, and it was more about the aftermath of it and the resurrection of it. This novel focused on the perspective of one girl who joins a cult, and how that experience changed her. Going into this novel, I had no idea what to make of it, and…

The Many by Nathan Field

I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I like dares and I like to be bold and adventurous when possible. So when a novel warns me of its graphic nature and its disturbing content, I’m game to give it a go. When I saw this book…

Born Mobster by Paige Dearth

I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I usually don’t read novels like this one. I don’t like sad novels or ones that have graphic depictions, especially if it’s regarding constant physical or sexual abuse. But I was given this novel to read and I felt…
