I am currently about a third way through Gone Girl. This book has been on my TBR for well over a year and it has only been bumped up to 'currently reading' due to my sister's influence (and by influence I mean constant begging). I have been coerced into reading the book so she has someone to talk to about it.
At the moment, I think it's alright. I'm loving Gillian Flynn's writing style but...

Book Review: Lisey's Story
An absolute thrill to explore. I was hooked and couldn't turn the pages quick enough. I was always wishing for more time to sit down and devour this book. My immediate opinion is that it is awesome but I think that is almost a given considering that it is Stephen King. This is one of King's newer...

That would be my book tumblr which has now become my main blog on tumblr because what else would I really be posting on there except books.

4. But I never fully read the series...

Book Review - The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman
Oh, the anguish. This may be the saddest book I've ever read (trumping Les Miserables and The Book Thief). I had some control at the beginning of the novel and held back my tears by in the last chapter or so I was a complete mess. It was emotionally traumatic.
After four harrowing years on the Western...

Book Review - House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski
House of Leaves is the kind of story that loves to mess with your head a "little" bit. It doesn't have one storyline and one of the stories can be unreliable at times due to his increasing lack of sanity. I found myself spiralling downwards in a maze of subtle confusion as I continued through this...
