I’ve been trying to get my hands on The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides at my local library since its release in 2019, and I’ve got to say, it was worth the wait!

Book Review: My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite
I mean, the title of Oyinjan Braithwaite’s novel alone was enough to have me add it to my read list. Truly. I’ve never even read a blurb about this book! Wisest decision I have made to read My Sister, the Serial Killer. What a neat book!
Read moreBook Review: Hemlock Grove by Brian McGreevy
What a weird little book this was. I’ve been meaning to watch the show Hemlock Grove that was based off of this novel by Brian McGreevy for quite some time, but running across the book at the library unexpectedly, finally inspired me!
Read moreBook Review: My Policeman by Bethan Roberts
Ohhh, how I can’t wait to see how Bethan Roberts novel, My Policeman, gets adapted to the screen next year! This book was juicy and could definitely be expanded upon, and I imagine not in a bad way.
Read moreBook Review: Before I Go to Sleep by S.J. Watson
Well this is quite the debut novel! Talk about making memory loss more terrifying then it already is! That’s right, in S.J. Watson’s novel, Before I Go to Sleep, Christine is suffering from memory loss after an accident almost twenty years ago. What she learns along the way is twisted and so very clever!
Read moreBook Review: Whisper Network by Chandler Baker
Truthfully, this book has been on my radar for quite some time. What can I say, Reese’s Book Club has good taste! Most of the time when I think to go check out Whisper Network, someone’s already gotten to it, but my luck turned around during my last trip to the library. This book by Chandler Baker was not totally what I was expecting, but the end result was definitely satisfying enough.
Read moreBook Review: We the Animals by Justin Torres
In all honesty, this book, We the Animals caught my attention for two reasons. The first is that it was relatively short. The second was that a handful of years ago it got adapted into a critically acclaimed film starring Looking’s Raul Castillo. Since my time with that show, I’ve been seeking those actors out, so it’s no wonder this work came back into my orbit. Instead of just jumping straight into the film first, I decided I wanted to give the book a go.
Read moreBook Review: Bone Box by Faye Kellerman
Only after I’ve finished this hefty crime thriller did I find out it belongs to a series written by Faye Kellerman. In fact, Bone Box the 24th installment of the series. Fail. But, my mother was kind enough to pick it up for me, and not many parts of the book ended up being confusing, which was a relief. With that being said, let’s get into it!
Read moreBook Review: Will Grayson Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan
Well, after coming off of the excellence that was Turtles All the Way Down, I’ve got to say that the collaborative effort on Will Grayson, Will Grayson was a bit of a letdown. Written in alternating chapters by authors John Green and David Levithan, they both write about the lives of two very different Will Graysons. At some point, their worlds converge and comingle a little bit and the results are interesting.
Read moreBook Review: Midnight Sun by Trish Cook
Well, this might be a first. I was under the impression that the 2018 movie, Midnight Sun, was based off of a book given the fact that I’ve seen this book around since I saw the movie. Sometimes that happens where I don’t realize a film or show is based off of a book until after the fact. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be picking up a book that is based off of a film?! Also, please let me know if I’m wrong, but from what I can tell, the film version of this story is actually based off of a 2006 Japanese film called A Song to the Sun. Crazy!
