Rainbow Reading Challenge Review – Red: Slade House by David Mitchell

This is going to be non-spoiler review. Now, to be honest, I think even explaining the plot kind of spoils it. It's one of those books where it's best knowing as little as possible before you read it. You'll enjoy the reading experience as you slowly try to figure out just what the heck is …

3 Favourite Book to Film Adaptations

As a book and film lover, book to film adaptations are always a double edged sword.
