Take Us to a Better Place: Stories by Madeline Ashby, Hannah Lillith Assadi, Calvin Baker, Frank Bill, Yoon Ha Lee, Karen Lord, Mike McClelland, Achy Obejas, David A. Robertson, Martha Wells

This book is available for request till the 31st of May 2020 Usually, I am unable to give a breakup of individual reviews when I read books like this. Given that there are only ten stories and they vary very widely in the tone as well as the content I decided to try this one…

Six Wicked Reasons by Jo Spain

I was reminded of Pretty Guilty Women by Gina LaManna with regards to the style of storytelling. There might be more, but this specific one came to mind as soon as I started it. The book is still available for request as of posting this review This book is a very character-driven one, and would probably…

Statue of Limitations by Kate Collins

I am working my way through hitting my targets for this month's releases and might actually reach it! There is a plan in the works for putting up that list with my end of the month post (for the next month, obviously) but I feel like that might jinx the situation and derail it. As…

Don’t Even Breathe (Maggie Novak Thriller #1) by Keith Houghton

Narrated by: Karen Peakes I saw this gorgeous cover multiple times pre and post prelease but never actually picked it up. Then, when I saw that there was one more in the series already released and another set to later this year, I thought it might be the appropriate time to check it out. I always…

The Metamorphosis By Franz Kafka

Translation:  Ian C. Johnston, Narrator Luke Daniels There is a backstory to me picking this up. If you have been following my blog for awhile, you will know that my knowledge of famous literary works/classics is piecemeal at best. My information came from people around me, and I only knew as much as they did…

Fell Murder by E.C.R Lorac

I will add this as my first book for the year for #BritishCrimeClassicsChallenge This book felt like a breath of fresh air. I know that this is an extremely odd way to begin the review of a book that is at its core a murder mystery. The descriptions of the people, the land (as the preface…

Blood on the Tracks by Barbara Nickless

Narrated by: Emily Sutton-Smith I have always prided and cursed my memory for unwanted things in equal measure. One of the drawbacks of it meant that I cannot enjoy the suspense as well as others who forget (happily) the key twists that they enjoyed the first time. This was a very generalised notion based on my…

The Game Changer by Jennifer Brown

In an effort to bring my NetGalley shelf under control, I am trying to (once again) put up reviews around the month/week/day of publishing, if possible. This also means that in addition to those, I will also be dealing with backlist titles that have exceeded the three-month mark on my virtual shelf.  Wish me luck!…
