Locke & Key : Issue # 2: Welcome To Lovecraft by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez

I really enjoyed this comic. I love Bode's imagination! Interesting that in the comic they are living in Lovecraft, Massachusetts which fits well with the themes of the comic.

The Forgotten Home Child by Genevieve Graham

What an excellent read!! I instantly fell in love with the characters and was caught up in their story. There were many parts which left me breathless.  Before reading this novel I had been completely unaware of British Home Children.  The author's notes and pictures at the end of the book were greatly appreciated. I would definitely read more books by this author.

Locke & Key: Issue #1: Welcome To Lovecraft by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez

I really enjoyed issue # 1. I liked the artwork and the story. I have watched the Netflix adaptation. I liked noticing the differences between the comic and the tv show. I love Joe Hill and I look forward to the next issue!

Pumpkinheads by Rainbow Rowell and Faith Erin Hicks

The artwork in this graphic novel is so colorful and detailed. I love the map of the Pumpkin Patch found in the book.  I loved the story and that it took place all in one crazy night. It was a heartfelt and sweet story. I hope that Rainbow and Faith will write other graphic novels together!

The Gown: A Novel of the Royal Wedding by Jennifer Robson

I absolutely adored this book! The characters were very well developed and relatable. I loved how the different timelines were woven together. The author paints such a vivid picture that I felt I was experiencing everything along with the characters. I will definitely read more books by this author!

Stranger Still by Michaelbrent Collings

I devoured this book! The author is excellent at getting into the psyches of his characters.  Sheldon's narcissistic inner monologues were hilarious because they were so over the top. The twists kept me guessing. Legion is such a multifaceted character which makes him even more interesting.  The action was fast paced and engaging. I really like that this book can be read as a standalone but I am interested reading Strangers the first book in the series as well. 

The Other Mrs. by Mary Kubica

Wow, what an excellent read! Complex characters and a plot kept me hooked! The numerous twists left me breathless and were so well executed that I didn't see them coming! The ending was satisfying!
