For this month, I thought I'd try something new and post shorter reviews of some of the books I've been reading lately/am reading at the moment. All of the titles are, I daresay, ideal for the warmer season, whether you're looking for spine-tingling horror, light, fun beach reads, or simply a plain old good book. Enjoy! I will be writing all about my summer reading plans shortly, so stay tuned for that!

I have always thought that among visual medias, the tv-series is best at telling a story. Because of its length, it has time to develop both plot-line and characters in a way that a film never can. But at times it's just not enough. Some tv-series leave me wanting more. Sometimes it's because the world it has built up is so huge and intricate that the series doesn't have time to explore all of its own possibilities. At other times, I want to learn more about characters, to get into their heads and hear their thoughts. I want more stories than television can ever provide.
