The Summer Children (The Collector, #3) by Dot Hutchison

I reviewed the previous book of the series here: Roses of May (The Collector #2). The last book was an advance copy but this one was an audiobook via Kindle unlimited. I am finally sticking to my schedule as previously outlined in my review of The Council of Twelve by Oliver Pötzsch.  I am glad I listened to…

The Book of Dog by Lark Benobi

I got this book off NetGalley because it seemed like an absurd blurb and the reviews on Goodreads were excellent. This tale is quirky and written well and with a lot of emotion thrown in, with sly digs at a lot of the current political goings on.The story begins with a weird poem but then…

The Council of Twelve by Oliver Pötzsch

This is the best book of the entire set. I do not know if there is to be another ( I have not checked yet). Do check out my individual reviews to know of more of my thoughts on this very original tale with very interesting facts provided at the end of each one.      …

The Benefits of Being an Octopus by Ann Braden

There are times you can read a story that is not new because of the way it is being told. This is the story of Zoey who has three siblings and a mother to call her own. She has an opinion on her current living situations and she is not very popular in school(for reasons…

The Clockmaker’s Daughter by Kate Morton

The only other time I have done this is for The Death of Mrs. Westaway by Ruth Ware where I liked the cover of version I did not read. Being ebooks (as all my ARCs are) it does not matter much, but it does add a layer of fun when recommending it. In the case of this book, below…

The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton

This is a book I read a long time ago, but since it is set to release in this version next month, I am sharing the review only now.  This is a very tantalizing book, the answer seems just at the corner of our vision. It eludes us the same way it eludes the protagonist(s)…

Marilla of Green Gables by Sarah McCoy

Ask anyone who is a fan of Anne of Green Gables ( I am, of course, making a big assumption here that I am in the majority), and there will be a large percentage of people who adore the character of Marilla. ( am I right?) Marilla is a stronghold, the enduring figure behind Anne…

Don’t Believe It by Charlie Donlea

I received this book via NetGalley and has been a surprisingly good read . I say surprising because I have not had much luck in terms of picking out thrillers which I  liked. I would have given this a full five stars if I had not figured out the ending and been proved right before…
