This was my Amazon’s First Read of August. I picked it because I love thrillers and because it had the tag line of ‘fans of The Haunting of Hill House’ will enjoy this. They were right, I did enjoy this. Synopsis (as taken from Amazon Kindle Store) is as follow: Margot and Myron Spielman move…

August Kindle Haul
This list of Kindle books wasn’t so much impulse buying as buying the next books in series that I wanted to continue reading. I actually brought these way back on the 16th of August, but just forgot to post them! I have been quite restrain this month in terms of book buying. I only brought…
August Round Up
I always think of August as a funny month. A boring month. A long month. Nothing happens in August. At work, August is the month that most people have off. It is a long month to stretch a paycheck through. I have been lucky that this August has been quite warm, coming from the UK…

The cover drew me to this book…well the cover and the fact that Amazon kept recommending it to me. I have fallen into a book slump this month, where I actually haven’t wanted to read. And so, on Thursday 15th August, this has become my first read of the month and I totally picked a…
Wish List – Stand Alone Books
There are only twelve books in this list which makes it my shortest one. These are books that aren’t part of a series and don’t have a designated spot in any of my other lists. They’re all books that I’ve added this year and when going through the titles, I only got rid of 3…
J.K. Rowling
I couldn’t talk about favourite authors without mentioning J.K. Rowling. It was her books that introduced me to the world of reading and made me want to better my ability to read. Imagine a young six year old girl, who was angry, frustrated and sad, because she couldn’t read to the same level of her…
