The Doomsday Key

I just finished The Doomsday Key and, surprisingly, it was not that bad. The Doomsday Key is more of an action storyline where a government spy group is to figure out what the link is between murders that have been popping up around the world that have strikingly similar features and why it is happening. […]

Tokyo Year Zero

Happy Friday, everyone. Tokyo Year Zero is a heavy read in terms of mental health; just saying as a precautionary for everyone. When I was telling my mom about it as I was drawing to a close, she got a little concerned, as moms do, that this would not be a little triggering for me […]

The Italian Secretary

Another “read aloud with my husband” book done, and we are somewhat glad that it is finished. The Italian Secretary, as said in the sub-title, is an expansion to the Sherlock Holmes universe, where Holmes and Watson go to Scotland where they need to debunk a ghostly legend. To be honest, I have not read […]

House of Leaves

This has to be one of my favorite books ever read. I got my first copy of House of Leaves when I was just graduating high school and going into college from my neighbor who had said she had to read it for her psychology class. This is not a regular textbook, though. Going through […]

The Paris Winter

Fresh out of my hands and into a box, I have book number three done for this year; hopefully with this shut in that came in affect this past week I can have more done. The Paris Winter described badly follows three women in 1910 Paris who belong to the art community and they get […]

The Fifty Year Sword

Oh, The Fifty Year Sword, this is was an interesting read; and I know, it is another Mark Z. Danielewski as well. Something that I never talked about when reviewing The Little Blue Kite was how Danielewski writes his books. He is a pioneer for his alternative way of laying out text, called ergodic, or […]

The Shining

A few days ago, my husband and I finally finished reading The Shining after three-four months of being hyped up, seeing Doctor Strange, getting bored, working forever, then getting re-hyped because we wanted to watch the movie version once we were done, which I will say right now is garbage compared to what we read. […]

Monster

Because of Halloween, I figured I would read something scary. I really do not regret reading this. I have read Frank Peretti books throughout my life, and he never failed to present a good example of Christian authors who write appropriate books for youth as well as having something entertaining with more serious and adult […]

The Baron and the Missing Old Masters

The Old Masters is the latest book my husband and I have read together. Lately we have tended to go for shorter books because we do not get to read together too often, but we still want to accomplish something. From my husband’s point of view, he thought it was maybe too short of a […]
