What I've been reading...
I didn't make a reading goal this year, I didn't want to put pressure on myself like that again. I didn't want it to turn into a number thing, ya know? But I recently plowed through three books... in three days. Hah! I forgot how awesome it feels to get lost in a book!
What I've been reading...
Beautiful You by Chuck Palahniuk
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
The Good Nurse by Charles Graeber
Well, let's get this over with. If you know anything about my reading habits, you know I LOVE Chuck Palahniuk. I've been a huge fan since the first book I read of his. I always buy and devour his new books each year. So you're probably expecting a glowing review... I don't have one for you. If it didn't have his name on it I wouldn't be able to tell at all this was one of his. It. is. awful. That's the only way to put it. With the release of his last few books fans have been jumping ship saying he just trying to shock readers. I didn't agree with that until this book. I so desperately want to give you some examples but honestly they're too raunchy. I would be embarrassed to share them and it takes a lot to make me feel awkward. I don't mind explicit sexual details in books, in fact I love them, but this book just crosses a line. I 100% would not recommend Beautiful You. It's nothing short of train wreck. Looking for a good read by Mr. Palahniuk? Try Rant instead.
I'm a little late jumping on the fan train for Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children but I now see what all the fuss is about! I guess "teen fiction" is what kept me away... and that was dumb. This book is AMAZING. Easily in my top ten books. It's a quick read that is incredibly easy to get lost in. The story is enthralling and if that wasn't enough it includes real vintage photos that actually inspired the story. If you haven't read this already, you should probably get on that... right away!!
I think it was Alexandra that originally recommended The Good Nurse to me, and apparently she understands my taste in books! The Good Nurse is the true story of Charlie Cullen who was dubbed by the media as "The Angel of Death". He was a nurse who killed his patients, except they weren't mercy kills at all. He just enjoyed killing. Charlie worked at nine different hospitals, eight of which he was only let go of for making "errors". That was the hospitals way of saving their own butts, they just turned a blind eye. It's a super interesting read and a slightly frightening one as well! I highly recommend The Good Nurse.
