Fond Of Crazy Hannah, Janie’s kidnapper was probably the most interesting aspect to the novella as her erraticness was entertaining and gave a break from Janie’s whining. Not Fond Of Like in Janie Face to Face Caroline B. Cooney neglects that Janie’s story began in 1990 before the invention of text messaging and YouTube […]
Fond Of The Ghost of the Mary Celeste by by Valerie Martinwell written and descriptive to a t. The characters were not lacking in development adding a boost to the overall story. I enjoyed Arthur Conan Doyle’s role in the Mary Celeste as I like reading fictional novels on writers, artist etc. Not […]
Fond Of I read Until Your Mine by Samantha Hayes last year. I thought it was a great, original thriller and therefore was excited to see a sequel What You Left Behind. What You Left Behind establishes another twisted thriller in the beginnings of a heart-pounding series. Samantha Hayes kept me guessing who did […]
Fond Of The Witch of Painted Sorrows by M.J. Rose has a fantastical plot that grabs you from the get go and made for a very quick read. It reminded me a little of The Wizard of Oz. The Ruby necklace Sandrine constantly wore attached itself to her like Dorothy’s rubber slippers, with sparks […]
Fond Of The most important aspect of Inside the O’Briens by Lisa Genova is that it brings awareness to Huntington’s Disease. Being epileptic, I understand how important it is to “get the word out there” and admire the novel for that. Lisa Genova creates an emotional roller-coaster and has imagined characters that touch with […]
Fond Of I didn’t know much, if anything about The Twelve Dancing Princesses (of which this story is based on) and appreciated that my ignorance did not have to factor into the enjoyment of The Girls at the Kingfisher Club by Genevieve Valentine. The characters were fun and well-developed. Each sister had a unique personality […]
I’m a true crime junkie, one of my favorite channels is ID (Investigation Discovery) which plays a loop of Disappeared shows where women go out for a quart of milk and never comes back. The synopsis of Descent, involving a young girl who goes missing seemed to fit into that disturbing genre of choice. Fond […]
Fond Of The opening scene of Sisters of Treason by Elizabeth Freemantle with caught my attention. Jane Grey at the block held me in suspense despite knowing the outcome. It set a firm tone to the novel. Like Queen’s Gambit, Sisters of Treason was visually stunning. Icould clearly see the story that was playing out. […]
First Impressions There was so much hype when The Memory Keeper’s Daughter by Kim Edwards came out. Between that and the catchy blurb, I snatched it up. Impressions While Reading Unfortunately, that is where any positive-thinking ended. It was formulaic, cliché and could easily have been a Lifetime Movie (which it later was adapted into). […]
Amazing read and became engrossed in this in well, nineteen minutes. I felt it had a surprise ending about what truly happened during those life changing minutes. Can your own child become a mystery to you? What does it mean to be different in our society? Is it ever okay for a victim to strike […]
