Little Ghosts by Gregg Dunnett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fast-paced, interesting mystery book to read. Albeit terrible subject matter. And of course requires suspension of disbelief.

Kill Your Darlings by Peter Swanson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I’m usually a huge fan of Peter Swanson. I loved all his books. But this was was just okay I think. I don’t know if it was the style or not. I will of course keep reading him no matter what.

Review: Fox

Fox
Fox by Joyce Carol Oates
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I have so much to say about this book. It was my first Oates and likely I should not have started with this one. It was well-written and I kept reading it but the subject matter is awful. Truly awful. I hated Lolita and I hate this too. I don’t care if it’s literary. And I also totally guessed the ending.

So Far Gone by Jess Walter
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Jess Walter’s imagination and inner world must be so fascinating. These books are always well-written and always weird. I liked this one but didn’t love it.
