I read I'm thinking of Ending Things a few weeks ago while my blog was being redesigned. As you will read below, I had a strong negative reaction to it. I wrote this review for Goodreads and was hoping I might have warmed a little to this book with some time and a few good reads in between. This has not happened and so the review stands as originally written: This was a very quick read and it ...

Review of “Dark Matter” by Blake Crouch
Holy weirdness! This book is as strange and compelling as a book can be! I wasn't sure what to expect when I began Dark Matter. It was much-hyped at BEA and I'd seen all of the rave reviews but still... I'm not even a sci-fi fan. Sure, I love a little Stephen King or Dean Koontz now and then. (Who doesn't??)

“Hanover House” by Brenda Novak
Thanks to the Author, Brenda Novak, for providing me with a free copy of this book via NetGalley. Okay, I admit that Investigation Discovery is my favorite TV channel. I love true crime books and great crime fiction. I had really, really high hopes for this book. Sadly, they didn't pan out.
