Ringing in the New Year Book Tag

The New Year would official begin on Friday, and I want to do a little book tag. The tag was created by Bookmark Chronicles, I wasn't tagged but when I saw it, I wanted to do it. Anyway, here it goes!

All I Want For Christmas Tag

I've been wanting to do another book tag for weeks. Since it'll be Christmas in a few more days, why not do a Christmas book tag! I chose the 'All I Want for Christmas Book Tag.' It was created by A Thousand Lives of Daisy:

So here it goes!

What's In My Book Bag?

My mom had always told me I bring too much stuff. So I cleaned my bag and look what's really inside my bag.

Thoughts on The Grownup by Gillian Flynn

A young woman is making a living, faking it as a cut-price psychic working at Spiritual Palms (with some illegal soft-core sex work on the side). She makes a decent wage - mostly by telling people what they want to hear. But then she meets Susan Burke. Susan moved to the city one year ago with her husband and 15-year old stepson Miles. They live in a Victorian house called Carterhook Manor, built in 1893. Susan has become convinced that some malevolent spirit is inhabiting their home, and taking possession of the stepson. She has even found trickles of blood on the wall. The young woman doesn't believe in exorcism or the supernatural, but she does see an opportunity to make a lot of money. However when she enters the house for the first time, and meets Miles, she begins to feel it too, as if the very house is watching her, waiting, biding its time....

The Grownup which originally appeared as What Do You Do? in George R. R. Martin's Rogues anthology, proves once again that Gillian Flynn is one of the world's most original and skilled voices in fiction.

My Experience with Redbubble

I've known Redbubble for quite a long time now, and I've been seeing book merch videos in Youtube. So...I visited their site...and ended up buying a few bags...

It's crazy how much I spent for those bags! I could've used that money to buy a lot books! As in A LOT of books. I find the bags overpriced, and I didn't know what got over me to buy those. The shipping fee KILLED my wallet. So in my mind, those bags had to be worth the price that I paid for everything!

Thoughts on The Sacred Lies of Minnow Bly by Stephanie Oakes

A hard-hitting and hopeful story about the dangers of blind faith—and the power of having faith in yourself

The Kevinian cult has taken everything from seventeen-year-old Minnow: twelve years of her life, her family, her ability to trust. And when she rebelled, they took away her hands, too.

Now their Prophet has been murdered and their camp set aflame, and it's clear that Minnow knows something—but she's not talking. As she languishes in juvenile detention, she struggles to un-learn everything she has been taught to believe, adjusting to a life behind bars and recounting the events that led up to her incarceration. But when an FBI detective approaches her about making a deal, Minnow sees she can have the freedom she always dreamed of—if she’s willing to part with the terrible secrets of her past.

Gorgeously written, breathlessly page-turning and sprinkled with moments of unexpected humor, this harrowing debut is perfect for readers of Emily Murdoch's If You Find Me  and Nova Ren Suma's The Walls Around Us , as well as for fans of Orange is the New Black.
