The Compound by Aisling Rawle
Format in which I consumed this book: hardcover Did I like it/love it/hate it? Liked it What’s it about? Well, the procrastination I feared would rear its ugly head has done so. I am writing this weeks after I’ve read the book and I already returned it to the library, so I can’t refresh my memory. Let’s hope I can do this book justice, because I did really like it. The story is told by Lily, a woman in her 20s who has a fairly […]
The Bat by Jo Nesbø
Disclaimer: I think this will be the third time I have attempted participating in the Cannonball Read. My failures in the past are so frustrating to me because I easily read at least 50 books each year. It’s the reviews that are my stumbling block. I know it’s because I am intimidated, both by the intelligence of the Pajiba community and by my minimal skills with technology. This year, I’m trying to let that anxiety go. If my reviews sound like they were written by […]

Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
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 […]
