Since most of my book reviews or comments are shared on Instagram, I was looking for a way to keep this blog going. I do appreciate having an archive of what I’ve read!
So, each week I hope to do a feature called “On My Shelves This Week” in which I share books I’ve read recently and books I have coming up to read. My comments on books read won’t be a long review, but a few sentences as to why I’d recommend a book (or not!).
I’m starting with the books from last week. On Friday, I’ll share the books I read this week!
BOOKS READ
All Hallows by Christopher Golden: Read it now!! I love everything Golden has written! This one is set in 1980s Massachusetts leading up to, and on, Halloween. It features a urban legend, the Cunning Man, with an uber-creepy backstory, and how even the best small town neighborhood can have its share of secrets.
Meredith, Alone by Claire Alexander: Read it now!! The main character, Meredith, hasn’t left her home in three years. She didn’t have the most stable upbringing, so when a traumatic event transpires, she had to seek solace where she felt most safe. the world around her kept on going, so she’s finding it more difficult to find reasons to not feature out into the world again. While reading, the meaning of the title kept changing for me, personally. It was an honor to follow Meredith on her journey!
The Maid by Nita Prose: Read it! This was our book club pick this month. What was meant to be a fun whodunnit turned into quite the book, so worthy of discussion!
The Spite House by Johnny Compton: READ IT NOW…with the lights on! I’d heard nothing but praise leading up to the release of this book, so it was a real treat to have time to dig in! Loved the premise, the back-story, and of course, I loved the chill-factor.
