Posted November 7, 2023 I'm here. I'm here. Totally forgot to update my books! I apologize, since I'm sure you've all missed my reviews. lol Book Number: 18 Number of Pages: 295 Book Title: Siege of Crowford Castle/Haunting of Crowford Station Author: Amy Cross Summary: Right. Two books again. Castle was fun. I loved the concept and the ending is wonderful./This one was less good, but it's still pretty fun to read. I recommend all of these. Review: I loved both of them, Crowford Station slightly less, but yeah... They were fun. I love ghost stories, so, yeah. Cool. Book Number: 19 Number of Pages: 385 Book Title: Hex Author: Thomas Olde Heuvelt Summary: Catherine has been around since the 1600s in this small American village, and the locals will do anything to 1) keep her a secret and 2) keep her eyes sewn shut. Review: 5/5 This is my favorite book of October 2023. I adored the concept (witch in modern times), and I loved the characters. It's so good! And it's free to read if you have a Kindle Unlimited account~ Go read it. It's so good! I mean Catherine just appears in someone's home, and a member of the family puts a dish cloth over her face. I laughed so hard. Book Number: 20 Number of Pages: 480 Book Title: Gerald's Game Author: Stephen King Summary: A day of passion in a cabin beside a lake goes wrong when Jessie's husband passes away, and she's left handcuffed to the bed. Review: 5/5 So I know I harp on and on about concepts, but this one is so fascinating! A woman is handcuffed to a bed, and King manages to take that and expand it into a over 400 page novel! Jessie is an interesting main character, and you really get to know her, and her demons from her past. Book Number: 21 Number of Pages: 529 Book Title: Phantom of Crowford Theater/The Terror of Crowford Carnival/The Secret of Adam Grey Author: Amy Cross Summary: Three books this time! All about the city of Crowford in England, a notorious ghost town. Review: 5/5 So... I know, three books. I'm insane, but they're so short. I've now caught up on this series, and The Secret of Adam Grey was a perfect novel. I loved the character of Adam, sad, loves his son and works for the wrong people. It was so good! The other two are good, but it was a wonderful story of a man trying to keep his son safe. Book Number: 22 Number of Pages: 295 Book Title: Siege of Crowford Castle/Haunting of Crowford Station Author: Amy Cross Summary: Right. Two books again. Castle was fun. I loved the concept and the ending is wonderful./This one was less good, but it's still pretty fun to read. I recommend all of these. Review: I loved both of them, Crowford Station slightly less, but yeah... They were fun. I love ghost stories, so, yeah. Cool. Book Number: 23 Number of Pages: 352 Book Title: Misery Author: Stephen King Summary: Paul Sheldon finds himself nursed back to health by someone who is his biggest fan... Review: 5/5 I don't think I can convey my love of this novel in a single review, so I don't think I will. 😛 Book Number: 24 Number of Pages: 562 Book Title: Pet Semetary Author: Stephen King Summary: A new home for a lovely family ends badly when they find out about the Pet Semetary in the woods nearby. Review: 5/5 So if I love Misery, I'm obsessed with this novel. It's my favorite Stephen King book. It's spooky, funny, and it stays with you. Even if the movies are awful... And finally~: Book Number: 25 Number of Pages: 286 Book Title: The Exorcist's House Author: Nick Roberts Summary: New farmhouse. It's possessed by demons... The title sorta gives it away. Yeah. Review: 4/5 I liked this book, until the epilogue. It should have ended where it did, but no... They had to add one to the story. Share this post Link to post

Posted November 12, 2023 Book Number: 26 Number of Pages: 367 Book Title: Dolores Claiborne Author: Stephen King Summary: Dolores is accused of murdering her employer, Vera, a wealthy woman on the small island they live on. She tells her story in her own words. Review: 5/5 So... this book is cool. I love the format of Dolores telling her story through a police interview. It is only her story; there is no one else. It's amazing! Also written with Kathy Bates in mind for Dolores. Guess who played the titular character in the movie? lol Book Number: 27 Number of Pages: 308 Book Title: The Silent Patient Author: Alex Michaelides Summary: Alicia murdered her husband and then didn't speak again. A parapsychologist, Theo, wants to know why. Review: 5/5 Story time! One time on facebook, I saw someone say this book was boring, so I went in with some trepidation. No need! This book kept me on my toes until the very end! It even ends on a bit of a cryptic line. I really liked it! I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what happened!

Jay has no time for love while building his business and considers himself too broken to be loved. Zara uses her matchmaking skills to try to find someone for Jay. Guess the outcome. Review: I really don't know why I wasted so much time on this book. I did not like or care about the characters. And it was so predictable: boy meets girl, boy hates girl, girl hates boy, boy and girl end up together. Share this post Link to post

There are chapters from present time with Kate, chapters from WW2 from Violet, and last but not least, chapters from Althea from the 1600s. Review: 5/5 The woman empowering women theme in this novel is amazing! The women are superbly written, and I loved every single page of this novel. Lots of nature themes as well. Book Number: 29 Number of Pages: 364 Book Title: The Midwife of Auschwitz Author: Anna Stuart Summary: Set in Poland during the beginnings of WW2 and throughout the war, an older Catholic, Ana, and a young Jewish woman, Esther, find themselves as friends. They're eventually thrown into Auschwitz-Birkenau together and work together to deliver thousands of babies. Review: 5/5 This novel is inspired by an actual woman, and it's grim sometimes, hopeful at times, and always amazingly researched. I loved the characters of Ana and Esther. Their thoughts and hopes were mine as well as I was immersed in this novel. I recommend this a billion times over again. Share this post Link to post

She leaves behind memories of her son, lost in an accident at only seven, and two young girls. Her only wish is to find a cure. Review: 5/5 Yep. This book taught me a lot about the disease that our leading lady suffers, and I had no idea about the "colony," as it's called, in Louisiana. It's well done, and it made me laugh.
