    I received my shipment yesterday. I had been given a gift card to my local bookstore and was able to purchase 2 new books to add to my collection. Both books continue two different series I’ve already started. I can never have too many books to read…. Synopsis: For the first time ever, Christmastown is…

  • “The Inheritance Games” by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

    I finished reading this over the weekend. This was quite the twisty novel. There were lots of things that were a shocker thrown in there throughout but I like that. It keeps you on your toes (and it kept me entertained). What I found out at the end was a surprise but it shouldn’t have…

  • “Midwinter Murder” by Agatha Christie

    I’ve loved everything I’ve read from Agatha Christie. This book was no exception. However, this book is a collection of short stories instead of this being a book with one story in it but it did not disappoint. I loved each and every short story but I have to say the final story in this…

  • “The Secret Garden” by Frances Hodgson Burnett

    I finished reading this yesterday and thought I’d share. I’m sure I read this a long time ago when I was a child. Some of my classmates and I at the time made a play out of this and performed it in front of the rest of the school. Anyway, back to the book…. I…

    Just thought I’d share a couple of books that I think would be interesting to read around Christmas time. I know Thanksgiving is two weeks away but I’d thought I’d go ahead and share this to give everyone time to get their hands on these books and read them in time for Christmas. Synopsis: When…

  • 3 New Acquisitions!

    I stopped by a Barnes & Noble today and acquired 3 new books to add to my collection, which you’ll see below. The 3rd book was something I was looking for on purpose because I read about it in an article I read. I just came across the other two books purely by accident while…

  • “High Crime Area: Tales of Darkness and Dread” by Joyce Carol Oates

    In this book, there are eight tales……”The Home at Craigmillnar”, “High”, “Toad-Baby”, “Demon”, “Lorelei”, “The Rescuer”, “The Last Man of Letters” and “High Crime Area”. I’m not sure which story I liked the best, each story stands out about the same in my eyes. This book was one of those that I found in the…

  • “The Sanatorium” by Sarah Pearse

    Okay, I was able to finish reading this last night so I’ll go ahead and share my thoughts. I was surprised by the end. There were so many twists and turns that I was unable to guess who the killer was. When I’m reading these kinds of novels, I like to see if I can…
