November 24, 2025 by Caesar's Wife 2 Comments

The Stand was first published in 1978 and is regarded among Constant Readers as King’s seminal work. Ask any true King fan for their thoughts on The Stand and settle in for the response. From the original published version vs the complete and uncut edition, the miniseries vs the ill-fated remake, … [Read more]

The Witness for the Prosecution by Agatha Christie

November 24, 2025 by faintingviolet 2 Comments

Last year I read my first ever Agatha Christie novel and enjoyed the experience so much that I put another on this year’s list. Without a better idea of where to start I hunted up works published by Christie in 1925 and the short story now known as The Witness for the Prosecution fit the … [Read more]

When I Kill You by B.A. Paris

When I Kill You by B.A. Paris

November 24, 2025 by Classic Leave a Comment

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not impact my rating or review. I have to say that parts of this story didn't really work such as the unknown narrator ending each excerpt with 'when I kill you', and the lack of chemistry between Nell and Alex. That said, I couldn't … [Read more]

The Kill Clause by Lisa Unger

The Kill Clause by Lisa Unger

November 24, 2025 by Classic Leave a Comment

This was a seasonal mystery/murder novella that I have to say really didn't land well. Give me a story about assassins' with a Christmas twist I said. Well it just fell short. I think Unger can do really in your face endings and I think that she could have went there with this one. The ending was … [Read more]

One of My Quickest and One of My Longest Reads This Year

Several People Are Typing by Calvin Kasulke

The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon

November 24, 2025 by Tracy Leave a Comment

Several People Are Typing I had such a good time with this one! It's told exclusively through Slack chat messages, which makes it a really fast read, and it is so funny. There is an ensemble cast, but Gerald is more or less the main character. He inexplicably finds his consciousness uploaded into … [Read more]

Snake-Eater by T. Kingfisher

Snake-Eater by T. Kingfisher

November 24, 2025 by Classic Leave a Comment

I thought this was a great showing by T. Kingfisher though the beginning of the book moved a bit too slow and was really surprised this was pushed as horror, I mainly got cozy vibes while reading it (that is not a bad thing). I do hope that we get to see these characters in future works, I loved … [Read more]

Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
