I've got a few books that have been given to me to review by the publisher.  First up is Creatures:  The Legacy of Frankenstein, an anthology of short stories that all have something to do with our favorite reanimated man, Frankenstein's monster.  I'm pretty excited to read this one.  I've always loved Frankenstein by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley.  If you've never read it you should do yourself a favor and check it out.  We're coming up on Halloween so now's the perfect time.

Bring on the Horror Stories!

                                  First, I want to apologize for skipping last week.   Things have been kind of crazy getting ready for Olivia to arrive.   We’re getting down to the wire, they’ll be inducing me in about three weeks!   I can’t believe how fast time is going right now!                 Anyway, what you’re really here for is a new book review.   This week I’m going to be reviewing the collection of short horror stories I finished up last week, Ghostly .   The book was edited by Audrey Niffenegger and contains 16 short ghost stories written by various authors.   There are a couple of stories that you see quite often in collections like these.   I feel like “The Black Cat” by Edgar Allen Poe, and “The Be...

Sadie

     This week I read Sadie by Courtney Summers.  I was given this book by Wednesday Books for the purposes of reviewing it.  The fact that I was provided this book for free by the publisher has no bearing on my honest review.  My opinions are my own and I will always tell you exactly what I think of a book without bias.      Sadie has always been the one to care for her thirteen year old sister Mattie so when Mattie is murdered Sadie embarks on a journey to track down her killer.  When Sadie goes missing a concerned family friend contacts a Podcast in hopes that they can find her and figure out what happened to Sadie and Mattie.  The story is told from both Sadie's point of view and through transcripts of the Podcast.      I brought this book on vacation with me and I couldn't put it down.  It's an easy read and it keeps your attention throughout.  I thought the pacing was nice, it didn't fe...

The Scorch Trials

     I finished James Dashner's The Sorch Trials yesterday.  I think I liked this one a little better than the first book, but I'm still not loving this series.  My sister hated the movie based on this book, I'm not sure how I feel about that.  They really changed the events quite a bit when they made the movie and they almost seem like two completely different things to me.  It has been a couple of years since I've seen the movie so I won't debated the differences right now.      The plot in this series just isn't working for me right now.  *Spoiler - those of you who haven't read this book may want to skip to the last paragraph*. The whole point of putting the characters in this book through all the horrible things they've been subjected to is so that scientists can map their brains through their responses.  They are immune to the disease that's threatening to wipe out the human race and this brain mapping will apparently ...
