For me, currently, it is Cleopatra and Frankenstein by Coco Mellors. There is a lot of hate about this book. I don’t know why, the book for me is awesome. First few pages and I’m already hooked. Some chapters got me guessing on the relevance of it in the story but it all made sense at the end. Though it’s a debut novel by Mellors and some writing needs to be improved. Looking forward for her future books.

    The Shining. I’ve seen the film countless times but there is something so special about the book. It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time.

      Stephen King’s books were so terrifying as a kid. The Hedge animals scared the snot out of me. I think I was 11 or 12 when I read it the first time.

      Me too. I honestly think that book is a masterpiece.

      And somehow, I adore Dr Sleep. I went in excited but didn’t expect it to be so good. The portrayal of alcoholism really hit me.
