Death Match by Lincoln Child
This is the second stand-alone book I’ve read by Lincoln Child. I found this book to be a below average thriller and I correctly guessed the identity of the killer about halfway through. Truthfully, there’s nothing that original about this plot at all - it’s very cliché. Books need …

METAMORPHOSIS, a novel by Franz Kafka
I read this work at school, but my impressions remain to this day briefly about the plot. Although the story is read for a short time, you can think about it for a long time later. The work’s plot is quite strange and surreal, but this is Kafka!
One …
Naughty Girl by J.W. McKenna

The Cold Moons by Aeron Clement book
I am often quite partial to books about anthropomorphic animals, which is to say those which have at least some human characteristics, such as speech or reasoning, or even wearing clothes. So when I found Aeron Clement’s 1987 novel about the lives of a group of badgers, “The Cold …
Waltz with a Black Cat manga
Waltz with a Black Cat isn’t the usual yaoi manga where the manga is focused on the love making scenes. Made by Homerun Ken, the manga maybe yaoi but certainly worthy of reading because of the mixed genres- comedy, drama, and romance that blends well together.
Hirose throws a …

The Man in the Picture: A Ghost Story by Susan Hill

Jane Eyre
‘Jane Eyre’ reflects Charlotte Bronte’s own independent spirit, but also her desire to be loved and appreciated as a woman and as a human being. Poor yet spiritually rich, plain yet beautiful inside, Jane Eyre is, in many ways, a Cinderella of the Victorian times.
