A Curse Dark as Gold

by Elizabeth C. Bunce
- Rated 4 stars
“A fantasy novel, woven around the fairy tale Rumpelstiltskin. In the story, the evil character spins gold from straw for the miller, and in return demands her life's treasure, her new born son. His name bags the limelight, whereas the girl is just referred to as the miller's daughter, or the new queen. However, she has a life, doesn't she? And a name. And a pride. And that's where this story begins. It follows the life of Charlotte Miller, and her beloved mill and family.”

A Bend in the Road

by Nicholas Sparks
- Rated 5 stars
“A wonderful story. Everytime i read Sparks,I expect to find the story similar to another of his. Each time, i am pleasantly disappointed. The stories are similar as they all deal with feelings, hurt, loss, but each has a different plotline with unique style.”

The Lost

by Alex Shearer
- Rated 4 stars
“It was a boring story at the start, just a bit too descriptive, like Anita Desai, but then it got really better, and was nail biting interesting, and then got boring again, and then had quite a good ending. A book worth a read surely, I feel. Do try it.”
