Welcome back to Books With Cause! Let’s dive into my latest review: I Know What You Did Last Summer by Lois Duncan — the original 1973 YA thriller that inspired the 1997 slasher film, though the book itself tells a very different story. Yes. This is the book that inspired the 1997 movie that starred …
Welcome back to Books With Cause! Let’s dive into my latest review: The Reformatory by Tananarive Due — a supernatural horror novel set in 1950s Florida, where racism and brutality are more terrifying than ghosts. If you’ve been following my blog for any time now, you’ve probably noticed that I do enjoy a book recommendation. …
Welcome back to Books With Cause! Let’s dive into my latest review: The Life Impossible by Matt Haig. A novel that blends grief, forgiveness, and the supernatural against the backdrop of sun-soaked Ibiza. This was my fifth time reading a Matt Haig novel. Starting with How to Stop Time, followed by The Humans, The Dead …
Welcome back to Books With Cause! Let’s dive into my latest review: The Long Walk by Stephen King (writing as Richard Bachman).

Stephanie Booth is shit out of luck and jolly well fucked. AKA homeless. And it’s not through any fault of her own. As far as we’re aware, she’s done all the right things in life. She kept her head down, and she got a good education. At the time the book opens, she’s just finished …
This novel was another recommendation from Goodreads’ Horror Afficionados. It won the poll in March of this year, but it’s taken me that long to get hold of a copy from the library. For me, a big plus of requesting books that are picked by Horror Afficionados is that I have no idea what I’m …
I’ve never understood why people don’t enjoy reading. Worse than that is when people say they find reading boring. To that I rely on an old adage: ‘Reading would only be boring if one had no imagination’. I genuinely believe that reading is the best fun you can have with your clothes on. Not only …
It feels like a lifetime ago that No Time To Die was released, in which we saw Daniel Craig play James Bond for the final time. There have been a lot of changes since then, with the Broccolis bowing out and Amazon taking full creative control. It was recently announced that Denis Villeneuve would be …
