Dream Sequence by Adam Foulds is a little gem of a novel. Short, beautifully written, engaging characters and an exciting ending; what else could a reader ask for? There are two main characters; Kristin is an attractive young woman who’s just gotten a divorce from a wealthy man, previously her boss (insert eyebrow raise here),…
Lots of people have been buzzing about this book since it came out last June. It’s a psychological thriller but it’s NOT written by a woman, which I wanted to point out only because Ruth Ware, Paula Hawkins and Gillian Flynn seem to be all anyone is reading/talking about in the thriller genre these days….
Ooooookkkkaaaayyyyy-do you ever read a scary story and think “what happened to that author in his/her life that gave them the inspiration to write such a dark book?” That is exactly what I was thinking when I read A Killer Harvest by Paul Cleave, because this novel scared my socks off! There’s two murders within…

It seems like she has a thing for ghosts.
I hope your supermom powers came through for you today, Anne!
I would still eat it too! Yeah, I’m with you on the profanity. I hear enough of it without reading it too – it always seems lazy to me. It doesn’t offend me, it just bores me…
I enjoyed your video, but am about to pass out in bed, so from me it’s just zzzzzzzz tonight!
understood! haha
