Welcome back to Books With Cause! Let’s dive into my latest review — Diary by Chuck Palahniuk. This is my eighth experience of reading a Palahniuk novel and what always blows me away about his work is that he finds new ways of telling his stories. If you’re familiar with Survivor, for example, you’ll know …
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.

I usually visit the library once every couple of weeks. I’ve got quite the system in place where I often have two to three books to return and two to three requested books to pick up at any given time. Yet I can rarely stick just to the books I’ve requested. I can’t help myself …
The first rule of Chuck Palahniuk novels is you don’t talk about… I’m only kidding. Yes, Palahniuk broke onto the scene with his brilliant Fight Club. Like many, I’m ashamed to say that I saw the movie first and didn’t even know it was a book at the time. But every day I’m learning to …
I got into Holly Jackson’s books by accident. I originally bought A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder as a present for my girlfriend. She loved it so much that she quickly got the rest of the series. After hearing her rave about them, I decided to read them too — and I’ll admit, they’re brilliant. …
