Mexican Gothic

Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

July 3, 2022 by Ang 1 Comment

In one of my earlier reviews, I was disappointed in a book that I expected to be scary but it was decidedly not. Turns out, Mexican Gothic was almost exactly what I was looking for back then: not scary, absolutely not gory (thank goodness), but a hovering sense of dread throughout the entire novel. Put it in my veins! Noemí Taboada is young, glamourous, and carefree. She is a wealthy debutante who is exploring what she wants to do with her future. Her family receives […]

The Sky Is Yours by Chandler Klang Smith

The Sky Is Yours by Chandler Klang Smith

July 3, 2022 by Ang 1 Comment

A review in which my book-does-not-meet-expectations streak unfortunately continues… While wasting time online at work one day, I found a list of recommended funny novels and then a list of funny novels written by women. I can’t remember which list this novel was on, but let’s just say the list maker and I apparently do not have the same sense of humor. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed The Sky Is Yours, I just did not find it funny, like, at all. Duncan Ripple is […]

Devil House by John Darnielle

Devil House by John Darnielle

March 13, 2022 by Ang 4 Comments

So. My review of Devil House is going to be a bit unfair because the book was not at all what I was expecting. I could have sworn I saw a review claiming this book was really creepy/scary with a dash of gore. In my opinion, that is 100% false. There is a description of an eye injury that I had to skip because I can’t tolerate eyeball stuff. But the story did not creep me out or scare me at all. The story is […]

Tuesday Mooney Talks to Ghosts

Tuesday Mooney Talks to Ghosts by Kate Racculia

March 3, 2022 by Ang 11 Comments

I’m going to start this review like an online recipe: by providing a long back-story that is not relevant to why you are here. I have always been an avid reader and have dabbled a bit with writing. Several years ago, I attempted to participate in the Cannonball Read. I posted exactly one review. My problem was two-fold. One, the Pajiba crowd seems so well-read, articulate, witty, and generally smarter then me. This left me feeling intimidated, as though my reviews would be ‘I liked […]
