What made me choose this book: I was on a few pages of “Sad Girls” by Lang Leav when I decided that I wanted to read something else. I tried this book since I got curious about the title.

I would like to remember this as “the book that made me never want to read ebooks again” I read this as an ebook and was so disappointed and confused to the point that I thought the ebook providers were making fun of the readers by shuffling the chapters of the book. Of course, I was wrong with the accusation, and I realized that I just can’t blame anyone if I find the book horrible. Continue reading Life After Life by Kate Atkinson (Review)
Purchase The Good Daughter by Karin Slaughter via Amazon: https://amzn.to/3mNSHwz
My Rating: 8/10
Climax on page one! The most thrilling scene was narrated in the first few pages after flipping the cover.
What made me choose this book: I honestly do not know why I chose this book among all the other tempting books waiting to be read. The title was ordinary, and the cover had nothing to do with the story. (The body from the book I got was of a white flower, and I found other pictures of this book with a girl on its cover, which made more sense.) It was like I simply tried reading a few pages then ended up finishing the book. Continue reading The Good Daughter by Karin Slaughter (Review)

After their house was burned down, the Quinn family moved to a farm house. When it was just Harriet (the mother), Samantha (16 years old daughter) and Charlotte (13 years old) in the house, two men with a gun entered and looked for Harriet’s husband, Rusty. It was Zachariah Culpepper (someone who owed money to Rusty) and Mason Huckabee (the brother of Mary-Lynne, the girl who was raped and whose rapist was represented by Rusty). They intended to kill Rusty, and since he was not around, they ended up killing Harriet and taking Sam & Charlie to the woods. Sam was shot in the head, and then buried alive. Charlie managed to run away but was chased by Zachariah, and was raped. Mason tried stopping Zach from raping Charlie, however it was too late. Charlie and Sam survived, although Sam had to go through surgery and therapy to be able to live and function normally. Continue reading The Good Daughter by Karin Slaughter (Book Summary)

Purchase Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins via Amazon: https://amzn.to/3FHHs04
What made me choose this book: The fuss! The book was very famous back when I was still blogging on Tumblr. Also, forgive me, bookworms, for judging a book based on the rumored singer of its soundtrack. Since Taylor Swift sang “Safe and Sound” and “Eyes Open,” I got more interested in the story since the song lyrics were very descriptive. Continue reading Hunger Games Trilogy (Review)
