So at the beginning of this year, I committed myself to a reading challenge on Goodreads, promising to read at least 30 books over the course of the year. So, inspired by that, I'm going to post a compilation of these books and my personal reviews on them here.
{ I will be posting them in 3 separate 'volumes' with 10 books per post. Any bonus books that I get through will have their own post as well. }

Dark Places by Gillian Flynn
I'd bought this book months before actually deciding to sit down and read it, from seeing the movie first. I know books can provide so many more details and insights into the characters, so that's why I wanted to read it. So here's what I thought:
First off, this is not a book for the faint-hearted reader. It definitely has some truly disturbing and intense imagery and scenarios. Having said that, the book is written in a way that leaves you itching to know what really happened on that fateful January night. I saw the movie before reading the book, but it had been so long that I was still surprised by the ending, and of course, there are always many more details introduced from the book. I also loved Ms. Flynn's way of describing emotions felt by Libby as an adult.
Read from December 5, 2016 to January 5, 2017
