I am so sick of being at home!! The longest summer break ever. Please let me go back to school? ... Please??
I've read quite a few middle of the road books since my last Coffee & Books post. But luckily, I've also read some pretty awesome ones. I have been much more into in-print books lately than the ones I've read online... How do I get my hands on more print books without breaking the budget? Hmmm.

Danse Macabre by Stephen King
Rating: 5
A classic and for good reason. Note: Unlikable characters, definitely not a love story.
Need a book? I recommend for people interested in classics and who don't mind a pretty dark tale.

In Her Shadow by Kristin Miller

Rating: 3
Not a fan of the ending, but the rest was a good read.
Need a book? I'd recommend the original over the re-make, but it was OK. (Lightly based on Rebecca).

I'm working on updating my Classics Club post so that I can double up if, considering I've been in the mood for Classics lately.
Check out my Classics Club post here:
Also working on a giant Stephen King post compiling his recommendations... Post to come.
Honestly, mostly my son's rap music from the other room 😂
But this is a good one:
What have you been reading lately??
I have seen The Half Sister around quite a bit lately. I think I will give it a try!
ReplyDeleteIt was a good read as long as you go in with the right expectations :)
ReplyDeleteI was surprised how much I enjoyed Wuthering Heights because I absolutely hated Catherine and Heathcliff! But this book taught me that I could still appreciate a book (especially a Bronte!) for its writing style, atmospheric (creepy in this case) feel, and for the skilled ability to create characters that are so incredibly unlikable!
ReplyDeleteI recently decided on my 50 Classics in 5 years and made a Goodreads bookshelf to keep track of them, but I have yet to blog about it! Need to add that to my To-Do list!
Here are my recent reads, if interested: https://elle-alice.blogspot.com/2020/07/june-book-reviews.html
The 50 Classics in 5 years is such a fun thing, happy that you're joining in! I will check out your post :)
DeleteI recently read Wuthering Heights, something I'd promised myself I'd do for many years. I was surprised how much I loved it, I hated the film and the characters, but the writing is enthralling. I didn't find Stephen King's Pet Semetary very scary, but it was a long time ago when I read it, and I was reading a lot of horror at the time. Loved Rebecca, will have to read that again sometime. I'm intrigued with The Half Sister Now.
ReplyDeleteI havent read any of your books. I ope all is doing well. Happy Reading and Check out https://nrcbooks.blogspot.com/2020/07/mid-year-book-freak-out-tag-2020-edition.html
