  • “The Library of the Dead” by T. L. Huchu

    I finished reading this and thought I’d share. I have to admit, Ropa got on my nerves for the first couple of chapters. I don’t know what it was but I didn’t exactly like her at first. But that quickly changed and I ended up liking her. She’s a tough cookie but she has to…

  • “The Room in the Attic” by Louise Douglas

    I just finished reading this and thought I’d share. I hadn’t read anything from this author before so I wasn’t sure what to expect going in. But when I read the synopsis for this book while I was at the bookstore, I just knew I had to have this book. This book flips back and…

  • Do you ever find yourself stuck?

    Do you ever find yourself stuck in a genre/series/author? Do you only read books from a specific genre/series/author? If so, why? Are you happy reading books from that genre/series/author? If not, what have you found that works to get yourself unstuck?

  • “Up on Crowley’s Ridge” by Wayne Hancock

    I finished reading this last night and thought I’d share. I enjoyed reading this novel. I liked watching the story lines play our and the characters trying to figure out who the killer is, all the while I’m trying to guess who the killer was before I got to the end (and I didn’t guess…

  • “A Guest in the House” by Emily Carroll

    I read a book from this author before and I enjoyed it. I was expecting to enjoy this book as well but I’m not sure how I feel about this book. I got this book because it’s a graphic novel and I thought it was suppose to be scary (I’ve gotten into graphic novels over…

  • “The House” by Christina Lauren

    If Shirley Jackson’s “The Haunting of Hill House” book and Stephanie Meyer’s “Twilight” series had a baby…..it would be this book from Christina Lauren. I was going into this thinking this thinking it was going to be a simple haunted house book and that’s all. Well, the house is different……it’s not just haunted but it’s…

  • “The Doll People” by Ann M. Martin & Laura Godwin (pictures by Brian Selznick)

    I finished this one last night before going to bed and thought I’d share. Even though this is a book meant for the kiddos, it’s got a nice story to it (enough to keep me entertained, at least). I also liked the artwork provided throughout the book. I think it depicts the characters and what is going on…

  • “The Woods Are Always Watching” by Stephanie Perkins

    I finished reading this yesterday and let me say that I wasn’t as impressed with this one as I was with her other book “There’s Someone Inside Your House”. I had a hard time finishing this novel because it just didn’t have the suspense that I got out of reading the other book. One of…
