pickEvery year I add the newest Stephen Graham Jones novel to my TBR; every year I fail to read any of his work. This year I'm quite vexed with myself for failing, because the brilliance of his work is exactly what I didn't know I needed.
This was not an easy book to listen to. Jones's characters come alive on the pages in a horrifically real way, that makes you care and hate them with equal measure.

pickCharming and innovative adaptation of the ghost of Christmas past, Nolan, haunting Harriet York. As they explore both their pasts, there is a feeling of more than magic between them…

pickA sad but cosy bookish adventure.
I tend to dive blindly into any Christmas theme books this time of year (especially if they are free), and thus get a lot of misses.
But ever once in a while I stumbled onto something that just speaks to my heart, exactly like this little book did.

Another excellent, suspenseful thrill that kept me on the edge of my seat, and up way too late. Meyer just gets better, and better as he goes.

panFor a short story this dragged on forever.
The character was bland and awful.
The suspense smeared on so thickly it had me rolling my eyes.
And the predictability of it all was just a let down.
Also did not enjoy the audio narration.
