Bird Box by Josh Malerman
Technically, I finished this book about an hour before the calendar ticked over to 2020, but it still counts to CBR12! The fact that I was reading that late on NYE gives you an insight into the intensity of this book. I simply couldn’t put it down as it reached it’s crescendo. Bird Box is a psychological paranormal thriller about the end of the world, told through the eyes and ears of Malorie – a women holding it all together for the sake of those […]
Inspection: A Novel by Josh Malerman
Before I start, I realize my title here may be slightly misleading: don’t get excited, this book is not a sequel to Bird Box. It’s just another book by the same writer. But if you liked Bird Box, I think you’ll like this.

A few friends reviewed it over on Goodreads and they all said it was creepy and for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to add it. And having a new Kindle Paperwhite means instant downloads. […]
Bird Box by Josh Malerman
Bird Box is proof that you don’t need to be inventive to be creative and thrilling. There is nothing new in this novel that hasn’t been introduced by someone else, and yet it’s a phenomenal and magical combination of a whole pile of often-used ingredients. It’s haunting, and tense, and violent, and touching. Without dropping too many spoilers, I’ll say that this is the story of a young woman who survives a world-ending event along with a handful of strangers who find themselves tied to […]
