    Carrie by Stephen King: A Book I Never Read but Feel Like I Have

    Hello, dearies! Welcome!

    Since Halloween 2026 is growing closer and the new Carrie show just came out, I decided it was time to talk…

    In the new Carrie, all I know is this, that unlike the new show, the book does not take place in modern times, it is set in the late 70’s.

    So this book by Stephen King was his first published one, did you know? And it is not a regular book, it mixes the story with newspaper snippets, book excerpts, and reports about what happened at the end, but do not believe me on pace or what that is like, I have not read it.

    Original Book: A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson

    Hello, dearies! Welcome! 🔎

    Have you watched A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder on Netflix? I have, it’s only 6 episodes so it passes by really quickly, just think of it as a 6 hours movie that resembles the book a lot, and it is for fans because I don’t think that those that are not fans would enjoy it quite as much.

    The Final Girl Support Group

    3⭐

    Author: Grady Hendrix 

    Genre: Horror, Thriller, Fiction, Mystery

    Well, I have my doubts about the horror tag or thriller, it’s more Mystery and Drama than anything else.

    Hello, dearies! 📽

    This one it’s more like a movie than a book, and you find yourself thinking about all the horror movies you watched in the past, and trying to pair those with the characters in the book rather than paying attention to the storyline.

    Daisy Darker

    Author: Alice Feeney

    Genres: Suspense, Drama, Thriller (?)

    ⭐⭐⭐

    I give credit when and where credit is due.

    Hello, dearies! 🐚

    A new month is here, and only now am I publishing a new one, but the days just blend together lately.

    Daisy Darker was my first audiobook, and half of the time I thought, I could be reading this instead of listening and it’ll be faster and perhaps a bit more interesting. But that is not part of the review, just a thought about audiobooks.

  • The Nothing Man: Review?

    The Nothing Man: Review?

    Author: Catherine Ryan Howard 

    Genre: Thriller, Mystery, Adult, Suspense

    3⭐

    Hello, dearies! 📝

    Here’s another I wouldn’t have picked up from a shelf on a trip to the bookstore, yet I read it.

    The Nothing Man is one of those books that didn’t have my full attention until about sixty per cent of it was already behind me.

    I could have left it on the side, I could have stopped reading long before that half mark, but I pushed on, and I am sorry for those who are fans, but it didn’t amount to much at the end.

    Genre: Mystery, Young Adult, Thriller

    4⭐

    Hello, dearies! 👋

    Here’s another that I didn’t think I would create or read, but life has its turns and here we are.

    I enjoyed Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, even when the YA part got a little exaggerated and I was fighting with the main character out aloud alone in my room.

    Stranger Things Season 4 – Part 1: Wow

    Hello, dearies! ✉️

    Did you watch it? Have you watched it yet?

    Stranger Things Season 4 is now available, and all that promises it delivers, you can watch all of it now, or wait until July for the second part and binge-watch the whole season, I would have done that, but I couldn’t wait anymore, I wanted to see now, now, go, go.

    It’s so good. And Jamie Campbell Bower is there, so he makes it all better. Like wherever he is, you are entranced by his role, and you want to know more about it. 🎥

  • Verity

    Verity

    Author: Colleen Hoover

    Genres: Thriller, Romance, Mystery, Dark, Adult

    4 ⭐

    Hello, dearies! 📖

    First off, let me tell you a bit of what you’ll encounter in this book review for Verity because I feel like some warnings are necessary.

    I gave it 4 stars to not give it 3 because that would affect the author, and I’m sure many love this book. And It’s not that I didn’t like it perse, but I didn’t enjoy it fully either. I gave it 4 out of 5 because it was well-written, and I thought, yes, I could read other books by this author.

    But this review is honest, as honest it can be without giving away the ending. I’m warning now and will be warning you further ahead that there are spoilers in this review, many if you don’t want to know anything before reading Verity like me. I read it without even looking at the genres of it.

    Let’s begin. 📝
