Daniel deronda author5/21/2023 ![]() The first way you’ll notice this novel departing from the usual rut is its structure. But it is also a mouthful of rare, delicate flavors, and nourishing to the mind and heart. In fact, it is such a daring and intricately-wrought book that even some avid readers my be intimidated by it. The last completed work by one of the greatest English novelists, this book proves that Victorian literature need not be staid, conventional, and formulaic. ![]()

Hysteria by megan miranda5/21/2023 ![]() ![]() It's not natural to be ok when you've ended a life, even if you didn't mean to. And it's the uncertainty about how it exactly happened that kept me wondering, but 'what if', what if she didn't do it in self-defense? How can I like this girl when I don't fully trust her? So I went back and forth and Mallory is a bit all over the place and I LIKED that. Megan Miranda made me connect to Mallory when I was a bit hesitant to. ![]() It's more about dealing with the aftermath than the actual event. Hysteria was a bit different from what I'd expected, from the summary I'd gathered it would be about Mallory discovering what happened that night. So guys, I'm not really much of a mystery kinda girl, but I will always pick up Megan Miranda's books because she brings the creepy and the excitement! I pretty much loved Fractured and was all flailing hands when I got approved for Hysteria! Her past can be forgotten but it's never gone. So when a pupil is found dead, Mallory's name is on their lips. ![]() There's the hand that touches her shoulder when she's drifting off to sleep. But someone, or something, has followed her. When Mallory's parents send her away to a boarding school, she thinks she can escape the gossip and the threats. But she can't remember what happened that night. Goodreads summary: Mallory's life is falling apart.
