S. Sheldon (RIP) Review – The Other Side of Midnight
I think I found this book via my mother. When I was in university, whenever I went home to visit, I’d return with a big bag of books my mom had bought and read. One night I grabbed this from the bookshelf, not knowing what to expect. I think I had been putting it off [...]

His plots involve the supernatural or sometimes bizarre, but at the same time they are also character-driven, and deal [...]

A-Z Challenge: T is for The Talented Mr. Ripley
I’ve been waiting all A-Z Challenge to write this post.
