OK I swear I got the recommendation to read this book from my fellow CBR 8 readers. I can’t seem to find it again on this site though! Anyway, whoever recommended it to me (it had to be someone?), thanks! It’s definitely a mind hump (I didn’t want to use the F word).

I’m a little bit behind on my book reading, so I found a short book. The book has you instantly immersed in the world of the story. I guess since this book is so short, I basically live-reviewed it.

He met a girl that he can’t stop thinking about, and he’s having a dream analyzed. A little girl plays […]

To me, the only similarities between Reconstructing Amelia and Gone Girl is that the stories are told by two different people, and there’s a mysterious […]

I think it was because it was *GASP* a real hardcover book, and not a paperback or Kindle book. I read my Kindle nearly every night in my bed, so I fly through my ebooks pretty quickly. I also usually have a paperback in my desk or my purse in case I have some time at work or wherever I am. I […]
