The Lover by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
4.0
I loved everything about this book and did not want it to end! Wolves, moon, magic, sexiness, books!
So stinking good.

Park Bench by Christophe Chabouté
4.0
A unique and sweet graphic novel focusing on a park bench and all who encounter it. Picked up this and Alone in a kindle deal and have become a fast fan of the artist’s work. Simple, emotional, and recommended.
Alone by Christophe Chabouté
5.0
Simple, effective, brilliant lines, subtle but yet impactful story. Absolutely loved the ending. Bravo.
Silver Nitrate by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
4.0
Took a chapter or two to get going. LOVED the mystery, movie elements, esoteric nature - was not a fan of the ending. Felt the horror level just the right amount. Overall enjoyed apart from the cheesy ending.
Consumed by David Cronenberg
5.0
I’m going to give this book 5 stars because as expected, Cronenberg WENT THERE. Full of artistic atmosphere, body horror, medical horror, just plain disturbing and uncomfortably erotic - this book is his film on paper.
Devotion by Patti Smith
4.0
Enjoyed this hugely! Aspects on the creative process, fiction, nonfiction. There is a little bit of something for everyone in this short book. Loved.
The Laws of the Skies by Grégoire Courtois
5.0
The book disturbed me on levels I never knew existed. Bravo to the author for the emotional pull and daring the reader to go even father. Absolutely not for the faint of heart.
The Comfort of Strangers by Ian McEwan
3.0
I’m not sure what to think of this yet. I absolutely have a love/hate relationship with the author. Processing everything that has happened within 100some pages. Honestly may have to revisit it again - sooner rather than later.
A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking
5.0
I was so nervous and scared to read this book after having it sit on my shelf for so long. Following along with the audiobook and the companion book made it much more comfortable - and….I really enjoyed the little specks of humor laced throughout. Did I understand it all - NOPE, but I got the just of it and would read it again! Counting this and the companion as one book for the Read What You Own Challenge.
