I just finished The Great Gatsby: A Graphic Novel Adaptation by K. Woodman-Maynard. I really enjoyed the format of this novel and seemed to connect with the characters more so than I did with the original novel.

[Krishaa]

Meet me at midnight.. I really liked the start but after that I started HATING the main character so the book became mediocre….

Immune: a Journey into the Mysterious System that Keeps You Alive by Philipp Dettmer

Upgrade by Blake Crouch

I hadn't originally intended to read this since it's off of the beaten track for me. But I ended up doing so because I had I received an invitation from the publisher. This was very good, and I need to prioritize more sci-fi thrillers.

Few of us like to be typecasted, even Dame Agatha Christie who had found early success with her mystery novels. She had additional writing desires to placate and thus the pseudonym Mary Westmacott was born.

The Rose and the Yew Tree was her psychological story of redemption.
