I got my bookmail finally from book depository and am happy. It does seem to me to take rather long to deliver though, maybe that is why it is free! #tbr #bookcovers #lovetoread #bookmad
Oh no, my friends. I have discovered that serial reader lets you save quotes in fancy ways. Things will never be the same.
Still recovering from the convention weekend but I managed to read this book every day thanks to the app.

so-soWhile I enjoyed the suspense and the playful intertextuality of this novel to the original Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, I find Mary's character to be incredibly flat and self deprecating at times. What should have been a subversive shift from the original narrative which is told by an upper class male (Mr. Utterson) to a servant class maid, is limited by Mary's lack of agency and arc.
pickThis one is done in just over 24 hours. Without giving away too much of this super creepy book, just be careful about who you think the monster in your life really is.....🦇🎃
Only the second book I have ever ordered from the U.K. Started it last night and did not sleep very good. This book is really creeping me out and only on page 56. This author knows his creep factor!😬😲
pickI'm not quite finished this one yet, but I am really enjoying it and definitely recommend it. Andrew Pyper always has a way of captivating me with a totally unique and fascinating storyline. The best part is reading a creepy book like this during a thunderstorm :).
#currentread for #riotgrams! This is my first Andrew Pyper book (who is sometimes called the Canadian Stephen King), and it's really good so far! I ordered one of his other books on BookOutlet last night! Edit: This one turned out to be a so-so for me. Mildly disappointed.
pickI really liked the character of Michael. I was sucked into his journal entries/stories he shared with Lily. I wanted more about him and Mary Shelley, Robert Louis Stevenson and Bram Stoker. Those parts were fantastic! Lily was ok to start with, but I just couldn't feel myself really caring about her-she came across as too empty. Good psychological, supernatural thriller. If you enjoyed Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough you will enjoy this one.
Who is the protagonist: The protagonist in this book is Dr. Lily Dominick

How was the problem resolved: The problem wasn‘t resolved. In fact, Lily found out that the cause of her mother‘s death wasn‘t a bear attack. 5y
