Hey! How are you today? Can you believe it's August already? I don't mind because that means that winter is almost over. In fact, the days are already getting longer. 😊 Well, it might not be spring yet but we're already deep in spring-cleaning mode. Seriously, we've spent the last few weeks going through our plushies, collectables, crafty things, stationery, photos, and a bunch of other…
Death in Its Many Forms by S.H. Cooper My rating: 5 of 5 stars I was lucky enough to get an ARC of S.H. Cooper's latest short story collection and couldn't wait to dive in. Here are my thoughts... THE WITCH'S PATH : A sad cautionary tale about a cursed woman seeking solitude. Lovely writing with a violent conclusion. BREAKING THE ROUTINE : A disorienting fever dream that leads to a devastating…
Easy Bake Covenant by Jessica Gleason My rating: 5 of 5 stars I was in the mood for something shorter tonight and found this novella on my Paperwhite. When Laura accepts the gift of an Easy Bake Oven from a stranger, she doesn't realise it comes with a contract she unknowingly signs... Well, this little cautionary tale turned out to be a LOT of fun! Laura might be twelve and suffering from the…
Mrs. March by Virginia Feito My rating: 5 of 5 stars I read Victorian Psycho last year and loved it so much, I've had my eye on this book ever since. Mrs. March is married to George March, a successful author. But after someone points out that the main character in his latest book appears to be inspired by Mrs. March herself, she becomes fixated on the comment... O.M.F.G. Mrs. March is not…
How are you today? Hope you're enjoying the month of July! Personally, I celebrated my birthday earlier this month without much fanfare. I'm not huge on birthday celebrations, but my husband made it special and we had a fun long weekend leading up to it, so that was lovely. 😊 Well, it's winter around here and although the days are starting to get a bit longer, we can't seem to shake the…
Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro My rating: 3 of 5 stars I remember reading Never Let Me Go years ago, but I never forgot about it because it broke my heart. So I was excited about reading this one. Klara is an Artificial Friend (AF) who loves to watch the world go by as much as she loves the sun. Even after the Manager's warning of not investing too much in promises made by humans, she finds…
The Scarlet Gospels by Clive Barker My rating: 5 of 5 stars In preparation for this book, I re-read The Hellbound Heart a few years ago, and last week, I did the same with The Last Illusion . Pinhead is killing magicians because he's got plans for Hell. Meanwhile, Harry D'Amour accidentally opens a pathway to Hell while working a case for his associate, a blind medium called Norma Paine... Wow. I…
Welcome to July! How are you? Can you believe it's the new financial year already? Yikes. Well, it's Friday and I thought it might be nice to post an update. During the last few weeks, I've been updating files and reading. It might be winter around here but I've already got the spring cleaning bug and that means sorting things out. I started with my laptop by deleting, amalgamating, and…
The Vanishing Season by Dot Hutchison My rating: 5 of 5 stars After reading The Butterfly Garden , Roses of May , and The Summer Children pretty close together, I decided to start the week with the last book in this very intriguing series. Several years have passed since FBI agent Mercedes Ramirez's past collided with her job. Alongside Brandon Eddison and Victor Hanoverian, as well as Eliza…
Half His Age by Jennette McCurdy My rating: 5 of 5 stars I've had my eye on this book for a while and last night, I decided to give it a go. Before I even started, I knew what to expect. I mean, the cover is a dead giveaway, so I expected a book that deals with the same issues as My Dark Vanessa . Waldo is seventeen and desperately craves connection. She usually finds it in physical relationships…
