Posted September 12, 2021 Book Number: 3 Number Of Pages: 557 Book Title: The Institute Author: Stephen King Summary: Luke, a remarkably intelligent twelve year old, with nearly imperceptible telekinetic abilities, is kidnapped in the middle of the night.

Book Number: 4 Number Of Pages: 301 Book Title: Mexican Gothic Author: Silvia Moreno-Garcia Summary: After receiving a strange and alarming letter from her recently married cousin, Noemi travels to High Place to investigate her cousin's new husband and his rather unwelcoming family. Review: This one was alright. After hearing all the praise it received, I was expecting a bit more. The author's writing style is very stiff, with some odd choices of phrasing. Not even a page into it I stopped to see if it had been translated from another language and was surprised to find that it wasn't. I was also really hoping to see more of Mexico in the book, but it is basically set in an English manor in Mexico (which the author defends in an essay at the end explaining the historical accuracy), and so it really could have been set anywhere, and at any time pre-cell phone (according to the back of the book, it's the 1950's, but nothing in the text really indicates that, as far as I could tell). Still, if you love Gothic horror, you might appreciate what the author is going for, even if most of the plot won't be a surprise. Share this post Link to post

Just a small precision on what I count ok to count as separate book or not If the book was published as one like a collection of short stories (like Four Past Midnight from Stephen King or some of the Sherlock Holmes novels) it won't count as multiple books. If you read something like Lord of the Rings, that the whole serie is edited in one book, I would count it as 3 books. If it was originally published in a collection but later on was published alone and you've have read that editon, it will count provided proof (because yeah I'm not aware of every thing that is done in the english world of books) Edited October 5, 2021 by Little-Star Share this post Link to post
