I heard about this Korean mystery/thriller from a book podcast that I listen to and since it combined a murder mystery with books, I really, really wanted to read it. The only catch is that the book has not been translated into English – as far as I can find, it’s been translated into Japanese,… Read More Reading in Japanese: The Memory Bookstore by Chung Myung Seob
It’s been a bit too long since I last read an Inspector Gamache series – I think I read the previous book in the series in 2021 and one of the earlier books in 2022. But this is a series that I’ve followed for so long that I immediately borrowed All The Devils Are Here… Read More Book Review: All The Devils Are Here by Louise Penny
Is this sixth story the end of the Six Stories series??? I would hope not but I have to say that this is a fitting end to a series that I enjoyed SO MUCH. Six Stories has never shied away from difficult “cases” – a girl who murdered her family, a pop star accused of… Read More Book Review: Demon by Matt Wesolowski
I really, really can’t stay away from the Six Stories series. Deity is the fifth book in the series and I’ll probably finish the last book before the month is out! What can I say – this essentially has six long “chapters” and although I would ordinarily find the chapters long, each chapter/episode is so… Read More Book Review: Deity by Matt Wesolowski
Yes, I have read Book 4 in the Six Stories series! I may just go ahead and binge book 5 and 6, since it would be a pity for me to dive back into my TBR and forget about this series. In this new instalment of the Six Stories “podcast”, Scott King has travelled to… Read More Book Review: Beast by Matt Wesolowski
Although I had quite a few books to read, I couldn’t stay away from the Six Stories series. So I borrowed the third book, Changeling, and was BLOWN AWAY. I am going to be talking about the series so far in general, so I would recommend you click away from this page right now if… Read More [Major Spoilers] Changeling by Matt Wesolowski
So I read Hydra and WOW, I think this is even better than Six Stories, which I already loved. It’s taking me a lot not to just binge the whole series because there’s something in them that is just perfect for my current reading mood. Hydra follows the “case” of Arla Macleod, who murdered her… Read More Book Review: Hydra by Matt Wesolowski
I think I found this book after rereading Rabbits and looking for more stories from podcasts. Or maybe stories like podcasts (especially since I really enjoyed Sadie!). I can’t remember where I heard of Six Stories but it sounded fascinating so I decided to try the first book. Spoiler: I was hooked! Six Stories is… Read More Book Review: Six Stories by Matt Wesolowski
After enjoying the second instalment of the Thursday Murder Club a lot more than I expected, I had pretty high hopes for The Bullet That Missed, which is the third book in the series. The Man Who Died Twice brought us deep into Elizabeth’s world and her dangerous past. In The Bullet That Missed, an… Read More Book Review: The Bullet That Missed by Richard Osman
This was another book club pick and I was pretty excited because Now You See Us promised to show Singapore through the eyes of a group of people that are ever present but whom we rarely hear from: the domestic helpers, specifically domestic helpers from Philippines. These are women who have left their homes to… Read More Book Review: Now You See Us by Balli Kaur Jaswal
