The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson –Review

The classic supernatural thriller by an author who helped define the genre.

Do You Prefer Hardcover or Paperback Books?

I thought it would be a good time for another bookworm discussion! Do you have a preference between paperback books or hard covers? Personally, I tend towards paper back books mainly because of their price point. I find that the  money I can save per book, can add up quickly and can mean that I’m…
