Mrs. Patty Is Batty! by Dan Gutman
5.0
My little brother brought this book from his school library for me. He just knows how much I love books so it didn't get to him that it was for kids and I'm an eighteen year old. Nevertheless, I really liked reading it. I am too much stressed out because of my upcoming final exams and I needed some relaxation so when he gave it to me to read, I decided to go for it. I like Horrid Henry books so I liked reading this one too.
The Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde
4.0
My favorite Oscar Wilde story. Started with humor and ended with romance and emotions.
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson
4.0
Oh Lord! Robert Louis Stevenson produced a masterpiece. I loved this book. I LOVED IT. The concept of good and bad within every human being is so perfectly described, that as a human myself, I felt a pang of guilt and shame.
I already knew, before reading it, that Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde are one person, because this story is SO famous. We usually refer to Jekyll and Hyde when a someone turns out to be two-faced. Despite the spoiler, my joy wasn't any less. And, the ending. I wanted to cry at the ending. The perfect way it was written, the words, the magic in the sentences was so touching.

Bully by Penelope Douglas
5.0
So I've finished reading Bully. Overall I loved the story. I loved the characters, the way it was all portrayed by Penelope. This is my first PG book and I'm already craving for more of them. If you like books by Colleen Hoover, you will love to read this one by Penelope Douglas.
Mourn Not Your Dead by Deborah Crombie
4.0
Superintendent Duncan Kincaid and Sergeant Gemma James have a difficult murder to solve. Division Commander Alastair Gilbert killed in a brutal manner, very few people seem to be grieving over his sudden and unexpected death. Infamous for his cruelty he wasn't liked by most of the townspeople which made the investigators job highly complicated.
I liked this book. Different from most of the heavy romance books I've been reading these days.
Deborah Crombie has finely written Mourn Not Your Dead with intelligent characters and a very good storyline. Suspense was the most important part, you couldn't guess who was the culprit and who was innocent till the very last page. Not what we call a nailbiting finish or something, but a decent story and I enjoyed it very much.
I also liked the chemisty between the two main characters, Superintendent Duncan and his detective Sergeant Gemma. There was no obvious romance between them, but there was an air of love, which didn't kill the main story. Quite intelligent writing and a very good plot, I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading crime and suspense.
