I discovered my worst fear when I was around 10 years old.

2001: A Space Odyssey is by far the most disturbing movie I have ever watched. So what about the book?
It’s 2022 and the human race hasn’t destroyed itself yet. Let’s take a moment to celebrate.
I read this book because it was recommended on my favorite podcast, Darknet Diaries!
My very first PKD. A rite of passage, perhaps? That was really… weird, but interesting.
This book really messed with my head.
George Orwell manages to articulate why people using political buzzword salad is so annoying in one essay.
My friend told me to read this seven years ago. I should have listened.
That was a really very strange book about how war is hell while managing to fit in possibly hallucinated aliens (in my interpretation, at least?)
It’s hard not to have heard of Sylvia Plath. People seem to take morbid interest in the fact that she killed herself just a month after the publication of her only novel– The Bell Jar. This book has been on my TBR for over a year, and when I finally got around to reading it, I wondered why I had waited so long.
AI is everywhere now– and it’s very meme-able.
You’ll Be the Death of Me wasn’t a perfect book by any means, but it sure was addictive as heck!
Sooooo….. I have a lot of thoughts. So many thoughts that I wrote a 1,600+ word Goodreads review immediately upon finishing this book, and that’s why today is my first-ever SPOILER REVIEW.
I finally did it. I finally finished The Secret History.
I waited, rather impatiently, for a LONG time before my hold on this book became available and well, at least I can say those painful 2.5 months weren’t for nothing!
If you stick to one genre, reading can get boring. Why? Because the book world is not immune to trend-hopping. Publishers want to sell books, so they publish what sells, leading to a myriad of interesting– but sometimes repetitive– trends.
Okay everyone: If you’re looking for an accessible classic, this immersive, lyrical and suspenseful psychological thriller is the way to go!
This book has some of the most long-winded and sesquipedalian (I wanted to use that word so badly) prose I’ve ever read, but I somehow managed to finish it in one afternoon, glued to my Kindle the entire time.
Well, it’s official. And Then There Were None is no longer my favorite Agatha Christie book.
With its unique premise and slower pacing, I think it’s fair to call The Cousins Karen M. McManus’s most controversial mystery. And yet, it is the book that reserved McManus’s spot on my list of favorite authors.
