Review: Recommended For You - Laura Silverman - September 2020 Trawling through the new YA and Children's books at the library, I came across Recommended for You by Laura Silverman and I was instantly drawn in with the bookish cover and it also looked like a cutesy story as it was in our teen section of the library. However, after reading this book, I felt it would have been more suited in the children's fiction section as the characters though she was about 15-16 as she had to be old enough to work and drive a car, she seemed quite immature and naive and the tone of this book had a Tween feel to it and more suitable for ages 11-15 years. The book starts with Shoshanna who works at a bookshop in the local mall called Once Upon a Time. The bookshop is her safe place, her refuge, and her home away from home. The setting on this book is Christmas and since it's set in the states - it is Winter and we have our mall madness with Christmas shopping. Lately, home life for Shosh...

Review: Rules for Perfect Murders - Book #1 Malcolm Kershaw Series - Peter Swanson - March 2020   This book captured my attention as it talked about a list of murders being committed that were based on murders that happened in books, other than that I wasn't sure what the book was about. The book starts with us meeting Malcolm Kershaw who owns a second-hand bookshop and he meets one morning an FBI agent. She has come across some murder cases which seem to match a booklist he wrote years ago on a book blog he started for the second-hand bookshop back when he was just a shop assistant. It seems that someone is going through his list of perfect murder scenarios and killing them starting with the ABC Killer. This has our main character, Malcolm, thinking back 5 years ago when he committed his murder in a case that was based on Strangers on a Train after meeting someone on the dark web. He has lived with this dark secret and now with the FBI poking around in his life, he starts to b...
