The Girl on the Train * Paula Hawkins
I absolutely loved this book. I saw the movie years ago and it was always on my “To Read” list since but as things go, I can never pick up “hyped” books without feeling some sort of disappointment. This was the exception. The three women in the book are inter-connected by houses that look alike,Continue reading “The Girl on the Train * Paula Hawkins”
Annihilation (Southern Reach #1) by Jeff VanderMeer
I’ve seen the movie first and ’cause I’ve had issue with the structure of it, I postponed reading the book (which I already had!) for nearly a year. That was very wrong of me and I’ll tell you why: the book was awesome and there’s so much more detail in there explaining parts of theContinue reading “Annihilation (Southern Reach #1) by Jeff VanderMeer”

A Clockwork Orange – Anthony Burgess Book Review
I wanted to read “A Clockwork Orange” ever since I saw the Stanley Kubrick’s Movie from 1971. Who said that a book book cannot start with a glass of milk?
Flowers for Algernon * Daniel Keyes
I ran into this book recommendation on Reddit of all places, talking about IQ, EQ and other interesting things. I had it on my radar and I decided to bite the bullet and read it over a week. I was totally mistaken on how long it actually took me to finish it – 2 daysContinue reading “Flowers for Algernon * Daniel Keyes”
The Turn of the Screw * Henry James
After watching The Haunting Of Bly Manor (Netflix, 2020), I decided to finally read the Turn of the Screw on which the “splendid” show was based on. Written in 1898, the story follows a governess as she moves to an old mansion to care for two children and becomes convinced the place is haunted. ThereContinue reading “The Turn of the Screw * Henry James”
The Fifth Wave BY RICK YANCEY
Psss… Hey you! I heard you liked sci-fi movies involving an alien invasion. Wanna hear what this book is all about? Aliens invade the earth in five steps, using electromagnetic pulse, induced tsunamis, and a pandemic. They must have their own reasons for this methodical but inefficient campaign, and the motivations of aliens could indeedContinue reading “The Fifth Wave BY RICK YANCEY”
The Girl Next Door * Jack Ketchum
A few years back I’ve watched a horror movie called “The Girl Next Door”. I was terrified. I was upset. It made me hate the adults and the kids with ferocity. A year later, I thought I’d found the book based on which the movie was made, but it turned out to be a dud.Continue reading “The Girl Next Door * Jack Ketchum”
