The Perfect Murder by Ruskin Bond

Another one for new year. This time it is a short story collection, all somehow related to murder—committing, witnessing, or solving a murder. There are quite a few well-known names: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Ruskin Bond, and Edgar Allan Poe. I cannot figure out the cover though… The title story is by someone else, not Ruskin Bond.

Before I Go to Sleep by S.J. Watson

Hello, 2018! My new year’s resolution this time is to just go back to my old hobbies, or rather, actually make time for my old hobbies. That includes reading, painting, and just plain making sure there is more to my day than just going to and back from work. To commemorate my new year, I finished this book (on Jan 01, 2018) that had been on my shelf for what feels like forever.

Appointment with Death: A Stage Play by Agatha Christie

I must say I don’t have much experience reading plays… Well, not unless you count the plays that were part of the prescribed reading in school. This must be the first play I have read outside an English textbook. And, keeping that in mind, I must say it wasn’t bad.

We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson

Oh, what did I just read? I am going to be thinking about this for a long time. Some stories, no matter how much time has passed, stay with you. I have a feeling this is one of those stories…

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon

This one was on my “to read” list for quite a while. Last month I decided to begin the year’s quota of paperback shopping with this. I had a very limited knowledge of what this book was about. And after reading the book, I realize why.

Dark Places by Gillian Flynn

OBSESSED doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel about this book! After reading Gone Girl, I went out in search of any and all books Gillian Flynn wrote, which is how I came across this one, Dark Places.
