You by Caroline Kepnes
4.0
I'm usually not a fast reader because I just have things that I have to do and not much time for reading. But for some reason, this book forced me to make time and I felt like I've raced through this book.
I really enjoy the narration from the stalker point of view rather than from the victim. Many people said that this book is really creepy and they are all right. It is insanely creepy but for some reason, you can't stop reading and you catch yourself, sometimes, rooting for the stalker. Eek! Kinda like how you would feel when you watch Dexter.
Anyways, this book was an easy read and quite enjoyable. I gave it 4 stars because I would have loved for Beck's (the victim) other friends to be more involved because Peach was super annoying to read about.

And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie

This was my first Agatha Christie book that I've ever read. I wish I was interested in her books way back but I was too busy with other books. But hey, better late than never :D
I absolutely love this book! I appreciate how fast-paced it was. I can understand why some people did not like the twist and red herrings but I actually like it. I like that at some point I thought that I had made a wrong guess but in the end I was right which I am perfectly okay with. It was just a guess and I would have no guessed the "why" of it.
If you've never read this before, I really recommend this.
