Gothic Tales
Over the past couple of years, Elizabeth Gaskell (who wrote North and South and Wives and Daughters) has become one of my all-time favorite authors. Her books not only tell wonderful stories, but they also do a great job of shining light on some of the class issues that were present during the time in… Continue reading Gothic Tales
Survive the Night
Although I've spent most of October reading horror novels, I also wanted to take some time to read some thrillers from my TBR list. I love a good thriller, and one of the books I chose to read this week not only fit that description perfectly, but also earned a five-star rating from me on… Continue reading Survive the Night
Horseman: A Tale of Sleepy Hollow
One of my favorite stories to read during the autumn/Halloween season is The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, by Washington Irving. I fell in love with the plot the first time I read it, and it's one that I often find myself returning to around this time of year (either by re-reading my copy of Irving's… Continue reading Horseman: A Tale of Sleepy Hollow
The Hollow Places
I'm currently five days into the FrightFall readathon, and I have to say that I'm having a marvelous time so far! For my second spooky book of the month, I decided to read The Hollow Places, by T. Kingfisher. I've been a fan Kingfisher's writing ever since I picked up a copy of A Wizard's… Continue reading The Hollow Places
Book vs. Movie: The Halloween Tree
October has officially arrived, and I've really enjoyed spending the past couple of days reading spooky books as part of Seasons of Reading's FrightFall Readathon. The book I chose as my first spooky read of the season was The Halloween Tree, by Ray Bradbury. The Halloween Tree tells the story of a group of eight… Continue reading Book vs. Movie: The Halloween Tree

Good morning, everyone! I hope you are having a fantastic week so far, and that you are continuing to stay healthy. I found this It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! blanket at Hallmark this year. It's so cute! This week I finally had the opportunity to decorate my home for Halloween, and I have to… Continue reading POPSUGAR Reading Challenge 2021 Update: Week Forty
Book vs. Movies: A Wrinkle in Time
As many of you know, one of my reading goals for 2021 is to make a sizable dent in my TBR list by reading books that I own but have not read before. Because of this, many of the books I've chosen to read (and review) this year have been ones that I've read for… Continue reading Book vs. Movies: A Wrinkle in Time
POPSUGAR Reading Challenge 2021 Update: Week Thirty-Eight
Good morning, everyone! I hope that you are having a great week so far, and that you are continuing to remain healthy! For the past several weeks, I've been having migraine headaches on an almost daily basis, which has definitely been a cause for concern for my family. Last week I had an MRI of… Continue reading POPSUGAR Reading Challenge 2021 Update: Week Thirty-Eight
Phoenix Extravagant
One of the things I always enjoy is having the opportunity to read new authors and novels for the very first time. Last month, for example, I had the chance to read Phoenix Extravagant, by Yoon Ha Lee. Phoenix Extravagant takes place in Hwaguk, a country that is currently under occupation by the Razanei administration.… Continue reading Phoenix Extravagant
