This is the first time I come across this term - splatterpunk haha Doesn't seem like my cup of tea, but I'm actually curious to read The Girl Next Door. I've read Sylvia Likens's Wikipedia description and... there's a film with Ellen Page based on her, I think. I've watched it, and despite not...

Hey, folks! How's everyone doing? My second Kindle Unlimited month is ending, and since I just started another book and (probably) won't finish it before November, here's the list of titles I've read this October: The Dragonoak Trilogy by Sam Farren: Dragonoak: The Complete History of Kastelir...

You should read something else before Return of The King. It happened with me when I read 3 Amy Harmon books in sequence and the third was a chore despite being well-written just like the others!

I got really excited about having all those free books at the tip of my fingers 😂 Most of those were less than 300 pages, so it made the whole process easier. The one I'm reading now is 400+ pages, so I expect to take... four days or so to finish it x) The Return of the King is my favourite...

All right, my free Kindle Unlimited month has ended 😭 I decided to stop spamming the books every 2-3 days and just post all the titles I read in this single thread 😂 So, after Making Faces, here are the new titles: Dating Sarah Cooper by Siera Maley - the beginning and ending were loveable. The...

No problem! I truly appreciate that you took the time to read - and even better that you liked the story :D I actually think it might've been good to not be so "attached" to the MK lore. I'm sure many die-hard fans wouldn't find this story so appealing x) Thank you very much for the feedback and...

Earlier this year, I read a book that reminded me why I don't like YA. Now, Making Faces reminded me why I shouldn't consider the genre doomed. I am only on my second Amy Harmon's book and I'm already in love with the elegance and sensibility with which she composes her stories; stories that I...

Write and read is pretty much all I'm doing nowadays 😂 Cannot even go to the gym because of damn COVID-19 (though The Taster I admit I started reading last month. Took me a while. Boring book, you know...)

The premise of following the events of the Third Reich through the point of view of one of the women responsible for tasting Hitler's food was intriguing. But that's The Taster's biggest accomplishment. The storyline, instead of exploring a more personal perspective of Hitler's working-class...

Did you watch The Man in the High Castle adaptation by Amazon Prime? I'm almost finishing the first season and I'm liking it so far. I never read the book, though, so I cannot compare x)

Your description of "fantasy tale you can imagine being told around a campfire" reminded of the When Women Were Warriors series. I only read the first volume, A Warrior's Path, but I loved it! The narration truly feels like a story being passed from the older to the newer generation around a...

What the Wind Knows: I did not expect to enjoy the story this much but... it was incredible! The time-travel comes and goes without much explanation which, combined with the Irish mythological tales and poems scattered throughout the book, adds to the feeling of reading a fairy tale. But not...

Continuing my saga to read Jae's books and collections on Kindle Unlimited before my free month ends, Shape-Shifter - Second Nature was another blast! A paranormal romance involving Shape-Shifters and a human writer that started a new fantasy book that's getting too much information right about...

I watched the Swedish adaptation, does that count? :D I'm not sure how different the two versions are but I really liked the film! It's dark and gory but also so loveable!

lol yeah, I also went through a phase when I liked Twilight. Fortunately, I soon grew out of this little obsession xD I mean, if you like it, that's fine, but man, you have to recognise that the story isn't the most brilliant out there!

The Vampire Diet: Good Enough to Eat: Twilight kinda traumatised me when it comes to supernatural romance, especially when involving vampires. But when I discovered that Jae (author of Shaken to the Core, editor of Finding Ms Write and currently one of my favourite authors) had...

I loved the Breakfast Club inspiration for this book. Will definitely read it someday!

Indeed, I'm Thinking of Ending Things was a surprising read! I thought I was piecing everything together, but I never imagined It gets scarier in the last "act" of the book; the rest is more unsettling than anything else, which is not bad at all. It's great to see how all those philosophical...

My mom likes to say we have a similar taste because she watched a few of my "cult films" (she and my stepdad consider everything outside of action and comedy to be cult). Recent films we watched include Parasite and The Favourite. As far as I remember, the sex scenes in those films are the...

I didn't play enough Destiny to remember such details, so I'll take your word for it - but trust me, the book's story is infinitely better than Destiny's xD
