I was expecting a different kind of spooky scary here. I went into reading this book blind, no synopsis, no reviews, nothing but vibes. Added this book to my tbr & read it off the strength that I've really enjoyed this authors other works, & although I was expecting a completely different kind of spooky... Continue Reading →

Review: Earthlings by Sayaka Murata
This is not an easy book to read. It is in equal measure heartbreaking, shocking & infuriating. This is an ADULT book with heavy & explicit scenes. Trigger warning for child neglect & abuse, sexual abuse, incest, grooming, insinuation of suicide, self-harm, cannibalism. Let's review. Earthlings by Sayaka Murata Category โย Contemporary Fiction - Japanese Length... Continue Reading →
Review: The Glass Girl by Kathleen Glasgow
Categorized as young adult, this is a tough read. Trigger warnings, depression, suicidal ideology, grief, alcohol abuse, self-harm, implied sexual abuse, violence. While I personally believe this book to be appropriate for teens it is a heavy subject & shouldn't be taken lightly.

Review: The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle
I finally got around to reading this book after it was recommended by a fellow bibliophile at my day job. We periodically share our recent reads & ratings & this book was mentioned but when I went to add it to my tbr, there it was already. Tehe. Funny how that happens so often, not... Continue Reading →
Review: We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer
I'm so glad this book is being tv adapted, it's just one of those stories that will translate so well to tv. However, the main actress choice is probably going to stop me personally from watching it quiet honestly. She's simply not my cup of tea. This is a book review though that's neither here...

Review: The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
Yooooooooo! This plot was so sinister & beautifully twisted together. In retrospect, it took me way too long to get around to reading this book. I blame the cover, despite rave reviews & a synopsis that intrigued, I judge covers. The cover put me off but I'm so glad I finally read it, let's review.... Continue Reading →
Review: The Watchers / Stay in the Light by A.M. Shine
The film adaptation of this book was 100% what spurred me to finally get around to reading it now. At this point, having been on my TBR a little over 2 years I wasn't exactly "on the look out" for it. If there is a book, I want to read it before watching any movie... Continue Reading →
