Current Book Obsessions: What I'm Reading Now


The Outsider by Stephen King
When an eleven-year-old boy's lifeless body is discovered, all evidence points to Terry Maitland, a well respected member of the community. Detective Ralph Anderson leads a swift and public arrest, confident in their seemingly ironclad case. However, as the investigation deepens, shocking secrets come to light, leaving readers on the edge of their seats. King's masterful storytelling builds intense tension and suspense, forcing us to question whether Terry Maitland is truly who he seems to be. This compelling and unsettling novel showcases King at his best, keeping readers enthralled until the very end.

Exploring the Whimsical World of Middle Grade Books: A Collection of Adventures, Friendships, and Coming-of-Age Tales

I find immense pleasure in delving into middle-grade books due to their enchanting and innocent nature, often revolving around themes of friendship and personal growth. I particularly relish the excitement of adventure-themed tales and the allure of mysteries, especially those with a touch of the paranormal. Surprisingly, many adults tend to overlook middle-grade or chapter books in favor of young adult literature. I'm curious to know your thoughts on this matter—do you share my fondness for middle-grade books? Allow me to share a resonant quote from C.S. Lewis that perfectly encapsulates my sentiments. A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest.

Unveiling My Literary Treasures: My All-Time Favorite Books That Captivated My Soul

Around ten years ago, when I began delving into reading more seriously and keeping track of the books I read, I came across most of the books on this list. It's worth noting that my ratings may seem a bit skewed, as not all of them are rated with the highest five-star rating. This is because I have specific criteria for my ratings. Even if a book deeply moved me and evoked strong emotions, if I didn't find the writing style or storyline compelling enough, it could still receive a four-star rating. On the other hand, there are books I've given five stars to that I can't recall what initially appealed to me. Ratings, in my opinion, are subjective, and I acknowledge that I can't always be completely logical or critical when assigning them. Naturally, I have my biases towards certain genres or tropes.  Out of the 343 books on my shelf, I have selected 15 that have earned either a five-star or four-star rating. These books represent the cream of the crop, so to speak, an

Thriller Book Hunt: Seeking the Best, Sharing My Latest DNFs...

In the oversaturated market of thriller books, I constantly find myself grappling with the lack of truly gripping reads. I can't help but question whether the issue lies with my own preferences. Am I the one to blame? To borrow from a popular meme, am I the drama? My Goodreads read list seems to be filled with mediocre ratings, leaving me increasingly fatigued by hastily written books driven solely by commercial motives. The last time I came across a four-star book was back in January, when I read Vanishing Falls by Poppy Gee . While it doesn't strictly fall under the thriller genre, it had intriguing mystery elements. Sadie by Courtney Summers , on the other hand, counts as a phenomenal five-star thriller, but again it's been quite some time since I delved into its pages. Unfortunately, good thrillers seem to be few and far between. In an attempt to explore more popular thriller releases, I've recently encountered three books that ended up as DNFs for me this year.
