Gorgeous and terrifying, this is a magnificent collection of poetry. Covering a range of topics such as ended relationships, death of family members, mental health, and Harry Potter, this book is about life, love, truth, and finding your way through the chaos. I loved this collection. Each poem is hauntingly real and Twohy has a…

5 stars If you’re going into this novel expecting it to be like the recent Netflix series, you will most likely be disappointed. While the series is based on the house featured in the book, it is a very different story. However, I absolutely loved it. By today’s standards, this book isn’t scary. It is…

5 stars This book is absolutely gorgeous. To be honest, I picked this up from the new books section at the library without knowing anything about it. I was just so instantly drawn to its colors and artwork. I love animals and nature so I was interested to see what it was. Then I started…

4 stars This is quite an impressive book, especially for a first novel. I found this in the Little Free Library and was instantly pulled in by the amazing cover art.

This book is a gorgeously morbid, gruesomely strange, and overall a good read. It’s not my normal style of reading and…

3 stars I am currently pursuing an MLIS degree and am writing a paper on gender stereotypes and librarians for one of my classes. This book looked perfect for a little light research so I got a copy from the library (of course). Overall, this book was well-written. It is very casual, which makes for…

2 stars This book started off with a really promising idea. There was enough weird stuff going on that I was pretty interested in how things would turn out. The book does get pretty repetitive with many supposedly suspenseful moments turning out to be nothing at all (how many times are you going to get…

3 stars As I’ve said in other reviews, I was a pretty fearful child so Goosebumps books were not my jam. This is the third one I’ve read as an adult and it’s the first one I picked that didn’t turn out to be more sad that scary (Hide and Shriek, Phantom of the Auditorium– I…
