Supernatural Fiction

With Halloween tomorrow, I thought it would be fun to do a post with a theme that relates to the holiday.  I don't read horror novels (or watch horror movies for that matter) because they're too scary for me!  But I do enjoy not-too-scary supernatural fiction.  So today, I'll share with you some recommendations for books about witches, vampires, and ghosts!

Book Lover's Playlist

For some reason, lately I have been obsessed with coming up with ideas of themed music playlists.  So, I came up with the idea of creating a literary themed playlist for book lovers.  Here are the songs I came up with.  I've linked to the music videos for the songs, where available, if you want to hear the songs.  (Side note:  old music videos are really weird.)

5 Star Review: The Clockmaker's Daughter by Kate Morton

Kate Morton is one of my favorite authors, as I've mentioned before on the blog.   It's been 3 years since she last published a book, so her latest book, "The Clockmaker's Daughter," was one of my most anticipated books of Fall 2018.  And, I'm happy to report that it did not disappoint, as it's one of her best.

From the Top 10 Archives: Jen's 10 Favorite Books of 2007

Continuing my trip down memory lane of favorite books of years past, today we'll re-visit my 10 favorite books from 2007.  As a reminder, that means books I read in 2007, not necessarily books published that year.

I joined Goodreads in 2007, so one of the things that should be interesting as I look back at these lists from 2007 on is that my ratings (and reviews where applicable) on Goodreads will have been made contemporaneously, giving me a better view of what I thought of these books at the time I read them.

Here's my list from 2007, in alphabetical order by author's last name:

The Summer Guest - Justin Cronin
Sharp Objects - Gillian Flynn
Water for Elephants - Sara Gruen
