Book Review – Undone by John Colapinto

May 29, 2016 By Maryse 8 Comments

Undone: A Novel
*Ooooof* What a book. I feel depressed right now. Having spent so many hours in this crazy mind-mess of a story, that at first, beckoned me with the promise of a forbidden psychological thrill. With the creepy-handsome main character and his angelic-looking 17 year old student and their intricate plotting (using her seductive powers and his outlandish ideas) to steal quite a fortune.

Going by some of the reviews (glowing praises by HUGE names in the industry), it promised to be a wild ride. For sure an uncomfortable one (considering a few taboo-angles it was weaving me through), but my mind was going all over the place with the possibilities, potential scenarios, and I was hoping for that big-bang ending that was sure to knock my socks off. read more

My “Desperate to Read” list… (my latest TBR list)

May 28, 2016 By Maryse 126 Comments

Going over the fun “TBR list” quizzes that I’ll be posting in the next few weeks, I realized, mine was in sore need of an overhaul. Or at least an update. From what I can tell, I haven’t posted an official one since October 2015! I’ve been meaning to make a new list for some time now. I have many unfinished TBR lists, but I hear many of you do, too, so I don’t feel so bad. Tee hee!

But come on!! How can anyone blame us? Considering all of these new releases coming out, or when we’re in the mood for a little genre-change, or when our best book-addict friends INSIST they’ve read one they know we’ll love like crazy, it’s impossible for a book-addict to stick to just one. read more

Reader Focus – 10 Questions based on our TBR lists – Fabi’s List:

May 28, 2016 By Maryse 6 Comments

bev was curious and decided to start a quiz a few weeks ago (and she played her own quiz, so here are her answers in case you missed ’em). The answers were so fun, and I know we ALL can relate to these in one way or another. What’s fun about ’em, is it forces us to reconsider our TBR lists, and re-introduces us (or REMINDS us) of highly recommended books that are already on it. Or gives us insight as to what our fellow readers like to read, and how they “choose”. read more
