THE CONSPIRACY OF US by Maggie Hall

December 12, 2015

Audiobook of THE CONSPIRACY OF US by Maggie HallIf I had to sum up The Conspiracy of Us in two words, I’d say, fun mystery. That’s exactly what it is. It’s a crime mystery that takes you from Minnesota to Paris to Istanbul. It hits hard where it has to in terms of inevitable violence. I say inevitable because that’s what villains in crime novels do — they resort to violence. As much as it is a mystery book, it doesn’t stray too close to thriller territories, so if you’re the squeamish kind, you need not worry.

TROUBLE IS A FRIEND OF MINE by Stephanie Tromly

October 29, 2015

Book cover of TROUBLE IS A FRIEND OF MINE by Stephanie TromlyGood humour that doesn’t try to be funny but absolutely is is hard to come by. In that department though, Trouble is a Friend of Mine delivered well. Intertwined with mystery, it made for a very entertaining read.

WE WERE LIARS by E. Lockhart

April 16, 2015

Book cover of WE WERE LIARS by E. LockhartIf there’s one thing I have to say about this book it’s that We Were Stupid would have been a much more appropriate title than We Were Liars. I was more convinced of the characters’ stupidity than them calling themselves the Liars. Perhaps the title with regards to liars was supposed to raise intrigue. Indeed, it did. I was very curious about the book. In the end though, I was sorely disappointed.

PREP SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL (Prep School Confidential #1) by Kara Taylor

May 9, 2014

Book cover of PREP SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL by Kara TaylorWhen I was younger, I used to read a lot of murder mysteries with female protagonists. I read one book after the other. Sadly, I don’t remember the authors or the titles but I do know where they used to reside on the library shelves. As it is, most of the books published in the late 1990s and early 2000s have mostly been taken from those shelves, so I’ll probably never know again which books I read. But there is one thing I do remember: all those clichés! It’s no wonder that after two or three dozen, I was done with them.

THE ALMOST TRUTH by Eileen Cook

April 30, 2014

I think The Almost Truth is a great book for times when nothing but a light-hearted book will do. We all know those days when we want to read but our minds just won’t focus on anything that requires us to think all too much for ourselves. Not to knock The Almost Truth for being…
